Got up for work this morning, dazed, in bathroom I notice it is still dark. Stagger back to bedroom, examine clock again. 3AM. *sigh deeply*

Is it just me or is it BLOODY FREEZING?

I wonder what's for lunch today?

Take away curry on a Sunday evening, this is a wonderful thing.

Bit of rain...

Still amazed how drunk I can get purely by drinking bitter.

Time for a slice of papaya cake.

So desperate for instant food that I bought this at Premier...

Wondering how I can get a job proofing scam emails. 'I hereby wish to crave your indulgence'. Now, personally, I'd phrase that differently.

Stilton breath. Come 'ere and give us a kiss darlin'...

Discovery of the day: Taking 15mg of Dihydrocodeine before a 10 minute nap actually results in a 1 hour hallucinatory sleep. With snoop dog.

Oh no, run out of shower gel. Rummages in cupboard. Blows dust off old box: DAVIDOFF Cool Water Shower Gel... Thanks and RIP Nan.

Wondering if Guinness is the answer?

Eggs ingested, stage #2: journey to the tip commences... The beer stage (#3) seems somewhat remote.

Festival tickets, good start to the day :)

Waiting for my future, time-travelling self to appear and whisk me six hours forward... I appear to be late.

Uuuurgh, need... more... sleep...

Kaeng kua bamboo shoot curry

Very hot! Bit heavy on the bamboo. The recipe calls for a lot of chicken, I used mushroom instead, but perhaps need more or something different next time - tofu or mock meat perhaps?

Sauce is coconut based.

What a day! I actually have the back door open.

Considering how nice a pint of Guinness would taste right about now...

Dithering.

Lunch part 1: Spring rolls and a selection of chill sauces.

Back causing considerable pain. A long swig of cool, refreshing milk turns out to be off - spat over kitchen floor. This day starts badly.

I've felt better.

Eggs en cocotte...

Typical. I find a top I like in Tkmaxx and it turns out it isn't theirs, it's a shoplifter-swap!

Yes, it's a Gregg's cheese and onion pasty...

Just rescued Enki the cat from the Quarry. Again. Silly beast.

Every day is better with sushiiiiii!

Every day is better if it includes sushiiiii!

Caribbean stew. Jerk and coconut flavours...

Another beautiful day in Lancaster

If what you want is a hot bath, then there's little worse than a cold one.

Trying to fix an error I can't reproduce. Such challenges often appear on Mondays.

I still don't think Mondays are very funny.

Feeling the guilt that is brought on by sitting inside your house, looking out the window at the bright sunshine.

Amazing alcohol drunk several hours ago is making me sigh, as I review the evening.

Found myself back at the beer festival...

Remember, remember...

And here's one I made earlier.

Simply mix and eat.

Up and at em!

Uuuuurrrgh, brains.... I need brains....

Ergonomic working position...

It's Beer Festival Time!! :D Anyone going to the Lancaster Beer Fest tonight, tomorrow, Sat? 7pm onwards... Oooh, I love a beer festival....

Check out my wrinkly mushrooms...

When reheating coffee goes bad...

*yawn*

I need a holiday. In the sun. For six months. Or more, I'm not fussy.
