Lunch in the office :)

Only joking...

Train to east croydon

Amazingly sunny day

... Just spent an unpleasant hour on rammed, delayed tubes :( oh, london i love you...

... Goodnight world...

... Why oh why do my trains always smell like poo?

... beginning the pre-London dither: wandering around the house in an endless loop, looking for missing 'stuff' I need to take...

... gah! restless after a day of peering at spreadsheets and sql tables... the idea of a pint and a game of pool occurs...

Apple pie and tea it is then

Would prefer a brandy and cigar, but this will do for now

... some apple pie should help...

... deep breath people: it's Monday, but it only lasts for a few hours...

... wondering if going out tonight would be a good plan or not?

... gardening: done. Now to eat crisps, hummus, olives, stinking bishop and drink some wine, I reckon. Ah, Sundays.

Gardening day

Clearing out old plants, cutting back stuff.

... looking lovely out... the monster in the garden will die this day... where is my machete?

managed to start the car but now it's making an odd, rhythmic tapping sound, which worries me. Next check in the manual is '3 spanners' o_O

... gearing up for the weekend... beers are in the fridge, curry is on the stove, procrastination is in the air...

... egg-fried rice with soy and chilli sauce for lunch... seems somehow... insubstantial...

oh irony: we neglect our little car, so the wife spends yesterday evening cleaning and vacuuming it... this morning it won't start... *sigh*

... been out in the sun, spring is in the air, sandals are on the feet, skirts are rising... Actually got the back door and windows open!

Susan's pie for lunch

Good stuff

Attention-seeking cat

The fluffy, chubby one

... a day surrounded by email addresses ... choking on @s

... having one of those mornings where nothing works as it should, and is slower than normal (whilst it doesn't work) too...

... getting very hungry... think it might be time to re-heat the Malaysian curry...

... nice big, fat lasagne for lunch today...

Coffee and home-made honey cake

Should get me going

... full of breakfast, full of the joys of life

Misery in lancaster

I hate shopping in the rain :(

...breakfast of patate rissolée, fried egg, sausage and sautéed spinach and garlic went down well, now for the wide world...

just threw an old apple at a large tom cat. It looked quite alarmed. No, no guilt - coming in our house to attack our cats = a world of pain

... preparing to drink lots of lovely beer at the Lancaster Beer Festival in about 3 hours...

Lancaster market view, as i digest double egg and chips :)

And good it was too

... good morning world, it's friday again, hurrah!

Just saw (alive) spray-painted fluorescent alpine plants for sale in B&Q. They were described as 'eye catching'. Cue much sad head-shaking.

Risotto on toast for lunch!

Odd, but good!

Starting second pot of coffee this morning

Soon, i will fly...

Lunch is poor today - a cheese and onion pie ...

... more Lancaster snow... cold and grey in the house... my stomach rumbles - one bit of toast seems a long way away now...

Snow in lancaster :)

Great!

... listening to 'video game boss music' - LP3's Ratatat...

Syrian stew for lunch

With a kind of mujadarah on the side

late last night, after beers, trying to be quiet, I open and somehow drop a full bottle of mouthwash behind the shelves... glug, glug... :(

What? You want this bag?

Left over curry for lunch :)

But what are they...?

Walking near malham cove, yorkshire dales

Grey but beautiful :)

... back from the dales, relaxing by the fire, feeling like a party...

Would this be considered an extravagant 11 drink?

Perhaps at lunchtime :)

... and so begins the last working day of this week for me...

... celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary...

.... uuuuuurggh, had enough of working, want retirement now...

... full of aches, pains and general woe this morning.

... time to eat some pancakes... yeah, savoury, of course - marmite and cheese does it for me :)

... wondering if anyone will notice if I slip off to the pub early...

... now full of pasty, pie and lucozade ... not sure how that feels...

... woke up too early, started work too early, now I'm hungry too early... *sigh*

This job calls for a small cup of tea...

Seems to hold about a litre :)

... first morning in months that I haven't leapt out of bed and straight into woolly socks... spring must be here...

... that must be the end of the day, surely? Time to light the fire and sit in a rocking chair for 4 weeks.

... lazy Sunday calls, have no plans to do anything at all...

A bit of shopping

Bonus points if you can id all the items :)

Cat sick in wife's shoe. Dont look, horrible!

A pleasant find, first thing in the morning. See, I told you it was horrible.

... it's the weekend, thank god.

Band on at the park hotel

... our lounge is like a gloomy troll's cave thanks to the idiot who parked a huge van outside our window :(

... okay, yes, I spoke too soon... a 'false dawn' as my Dad calls it... now feeling awful :(

... surprised how un-bad I feel... see, leaving parties early can work out well...

God i love getting packages :)

Can you guess what it is yet?

Left over curry for lunch

A kind of madras, i guess.

Horror! Cat vomit all over the lounge rug... the cream-coloured lounge rug... And the vomit is... bright red... *sigh*

... eating Reece's Cups with a cup of coffee...

... seem to be sweating out a fever, have a throbbing headache and churning, acidic, gassy stomach. Lovely, what's for lunch?

... save me from Mondays. And colds.

... pleased to hear the woodpecker this morning

Chilli for lunch

Black bean chilli with cheese and yogurt, with tortilla
