Home made paneer, currytastic! Happy new year you all!

Afternoon beers then?

Xmas scene...

Drinking some of this year's sloe gin by the fire. Heavenly.

Surprisingly average breakfast in the end. Cold beans, soggy chips, overcooked egg...

First class vegetarian breakfast on the train. It's another world...

Train pa system just said, 'don't tempt me', then, ' don't hate me'. Must be too early for my poor brain... #hallucinations

Monster Munch (Flamin' Hot), a bar of Bournville, and a large mug of mulled wine... should get me through the next hour or so...

Xmas tree, done.

Jacket potato, Lancaster street food at its finest...

Working lunch...

Toad in the hole...

North Staffs oak cakes and steaming coffee...

Bit of snow in Lancaster ...

Late lunch of stew and dumpings...

Having a banana muffin and a brandy coffee. Well, it *is* cold...

Lots of police, a few students, wrong direction...

I love poppadoms...

Good grief, people from work are actually calling me. They mustn't have got the memo...

Too much curry for lunchtime.

Some might say that roast potatoes and gravy is an odd lunch. They are wrong.

Sticky. Toffee. Pudding. Win.

Coffee, polyfilla, wine and roast potatoes...

Tax deductible lunch :)

Strange dream: I was planning to summon Choronzon in someone's living room. I made a circle and pentangle out of glitter and macaroni. Hmm.

Horrible Dr Oetker pizza for lunch

If anyone spots one of those portals to another dimension we talked about, could you point me in the right direction please? #workisnotlife

Veggie Burger, cheese, humous, lettuce, chilli in Pitta for lunch.

Out with the old...

Hmm, a 50 foot tree has just fallen into our garden and onto our kitchen. What a lucky few weeks.

Caro's spicy pumpkin soup...

Pre-train kofta at the Ravi Shankar. Nice.

Walked out of company toilets, then heard (inside) Voice 1. Was that Ralph? Voice 2. Yeah. Voice 1. Bloody Hell! Not sure how to take that..

Black bean chilli made with chipotles, topped with Cheddar, yoghurt.

Noodle soup and light reading.

Sooo... Is the afternoon of work supposed to be A) easier, B) harder, or C) simply ignored, after a couple of lunchtime pints?

Breakfast for one...

Curry on toast, late breakfast. It's what men eat when their women are away.

People inviting me to sit and drink beer at the Waterwitch (in the oh-so-rare sun) is not helping my working mood...

Veg biriyani and samosa, Lancaster market...

Oh, thanks Enki, lovely.

'Egyptian style' lentils, topped with caramelised onion, boiled egg and yoghurt.

Lunchtime spent on phase II of operation: apple wine.

Lunch is broccoli and pasta bake...

The Brit has gone badly wrong...

Enki the cat is stuck in the quarry again. Lunchtime rescue required *sigh*. I can see her, stuck behind a big fence, miaow, miaow, she says

Dramatic way to fix a roof leak next door!

Large crane outside. They're covering up parked cars with blankets. People stand around and point and suck air between their teeth... wtf?

Pizza time!

Snack time, just waiting for bread from the oven...

Once again bloody Royal *&$%ing Mail have left me a card: "You weren't in". Yes I bloody was! You never bloody knocked! Usless wankers.

Hello apples...

Lunch is a Susan's Pie.

Lunch part 2 - last night's curry...

Martinique stew with Herbert dumpling, a pre-lunch snack.

Welsh rarebit in progress...

First fire of the season. Lock the door, open the wine, yeah, see you tomorrow.

Cakes! Pretty!

Making fairy cakes... in a masculine way.

Yellow Thai curry for lunch

Surprise of the day: Anu the cat likes twiglets.

I can hear a shloooop, bang.. shloooop, bang.. noise that sounds like it is coming up my stairs..

Seems to be raining.

Broadband problems today, I call the BT local problems line. A voice lists a dozen southern towns, then '... and some problems in the north'

Motorbike theory test, done :)

Not feeling like a million dollars today... more like £1.25.

And some light reading, with the breakfast...

Quick and dirty breakfast, chipotle and cheese omelette.

Coffee with condensed milk = epic win...

No, really, I'm comfy here...

Argh, a power failure means no trains are currently leaving euston... *deep, deep sigh*

Now... back across London...

The day of travel starts badly... denied at harringay... rammed, angry commuters shed civility...

Death by pudding.

Breakfast at French run cafe, salami from a German man, drink from Chinese shop, coconut milk from the Caribbean stall, browse dark ales at Polish place, free-range local eggs and butter... a good start to the day.

Off to party!

I sent some negative eBay feedback after a mix up, the seller's reply to me: "Jesus also think its unfair feedback!" ... o_O

I love raspberry milkshake in the afternoon...

I can't believe it costs £77 to renew a passport :( seems to have gone up in the last 10 years...

Lunchtime well spent...

Reheated Pizetta Republic pizza for lunch. Looks, um, well...

After a couple of weeks of peace, the neighbour return from holiday and the screaming and weeping begins again...

My boss just sent me an email with the single word 'Gnau'. Still pondering possible meanings...

Just got all the cats high on catnip. Euphoric lolling occurred.

Four burly blokes have just constructed tall scaffolding to peer into my office... Time to get dressed then I suppose.

Wow, a rag and bone man just cruised by, shouting for any old iron. Didn't know they still did that...

Happiness: Finding a bar of chocolate in the kitchen. Disappointment: Finding a bar of mouldy chocolate in the kitchen.

Oh God, Monday. Right reality, wrong day. Or the other way around - I get confused.

Sailing on Coniston Water ftw!
