Open wide, time for cake :)

When it rains, bake a cake

A sour cream and nut cake

ah, lazy, rainy holiday...

... ah, what adventures does today hold in store?

Tea on the lawn, happening now, st leonards gate, lancaster

... hangover... sooo tired... dizzy... oh dear... must... bake... cakes...

... preparing for a long weekend of, well, stuff. Fun stuff no less...

... eeeeee, wet and smelly cat shaking himself like a little dog over my keyboard, face, monitor... *sigh*

... lunch part 2 consists of... wait, you're not *bored* of these lunch updates are you? I know, it hardly seems possible...

Eating (drinking?) a cup of Costa Rican black-bean soup topped with a sour cream and coriander sauce infused with jalape�os...

Morning world, a sunny may day :)

My land-line phone's battery dies after 1 hour of talking, this is a great blessing on dull, endless conference calls.. *click* [silence] :)

Keep on getting angry calls from Amazon customers who have called customer service on 0844-3570155 and been put through to me! *sigh*

End of Wednesday's work is here. Three cheers for the end of Wednesday's work. Isn't Wednesday evening the new Thursday (meaning Friday)?

working on code written by an imbecile - 134K of uncommented functions manipulating a database table consisting of 32 two-letter field names

... the whole house just shook and lurched in a sickening way... wtf? Earthquake?

...woken at midnight after just falling into a deep sleep by a misled (but enthusiastic) alarm clock, then at 6am by loudly vomiting cat...

Thai basil aubergines, sesame spinach and noodles :)

... hurray, it's the weekend! What? Wait, it's what? Monday? But, but, the weekend? Finished? When? Oh balls... yes... I remember now :(

*deep sigh* what's the point in sitting at your desk even, on a Friday afternoon? It's almost impossible to concentrate on work...

Curry for lunch :)

The lightning flashes through my skull; mine eyeballs ache and ache; my whole beaten brain seems as beheaded, and rolling on some stunning ground

... happy St George's day... an excuse to drink Bomber and eat pies then...

Euston is very busy, everything delayed :(

escaped from work a bit early... Free! Free! Free!

late for work again... So what's new? :( at least i can blame the tube this time :)

trying a different route to work due to tube problems... Into the unknown...

trying a different route to work due to tube problems... Into the unknown...

Average day in lancaster...

Soft boiled eggs and soldiers for breakfast :)

Yum, one of my favourites, and eaten outdoors! Ah, summer.. ;)

... that's it folks, it's here... the one, the only, the weekend!

... just watching Nimba the cat trying to catch, kill and eat an enormous queen wasp - it's like car-crash TV...

Time for a pint of chocco-banana milkshake...

... tempted to go to the White Cross for a lunchtime pint in the hazy sunshine... :)

... only 5.75 hours until the weekend :)

... walked around town, exhausted myself, now have pains and misery and fuzzy head :( woe...

Mystery freezer meal today turned out to be thai curry... Winner :)

... feeling a little bit better, but still a little bit ill, better do a little bit of work then I suppose...

New dub just arrived :)

... feeling mightily ill, pleurisy is playing up again, guts churning too - I blame the 10% pint of bitter at the YoHo last night...

... having solved a mystery, will now drink tea and eat some of the chewy granola bars that his wife made...

... bored of working, will perhaps start to drink beer instead...

... Sitting in the sun, sipping beer, making lots of food for the easter 'pot luck' later

Tsk

Odd party...

Views from bains crag

Out for a little walk

... essentially eastering

... is it the Long Weekend yet?

... the waiting is over! Yes, here it is! Another exciting day of... work! Thrill as you operate a keyboard, marvel as you push a mouse!

... just bought a £1 mini TV remote and have been merrily turning off stupid TVs (through shop windows) around town. Ah, the small pleasures

... pre-lunch snack of hummus and mature cheddar on walnut bread with lemon and feta olives on the side...

... cold and raining again... normal service has been resumed... :(

... mystery lunch today - after the wife defrosted the freezer some old, mysterious tupperware were discovered. Ah, that's lunch then :)

... have the usual Monday morning fog in my head, it will clear by noon, but that really isn't helpful at the moment...

Healthy breakfast, healthy mind...

Or, my breakfast...

Geek lunch of pizza and wow :)

I might not eat it all!

... think I've burnt myself out with a furiously efficient morning :(

... off to consume pies in town...

... ate too many chillis for breakfast and am now in extreme, temporary pain and feel dizzy...

... eating curried potatoes for breakfast... sometime it's just the correct thing to do...

... bought a breakbeat cd today for 50p in a closing down sale... when I put it in the PC it has Quake 2 and Unreal on it... no music o_O

... I want my hour back...

Making balu shahi :)

Some odd indian sweets, hope they are good!

... made lemon pickle, now what? Some barfi perhaps?

... rather groggy after the Slovenian party, the taxi home was a good plan... work seems practically impossible...

... Weekend at last! Three cheers for the weekend! Hip hip! We love you weekend...

Spot the cat...

He knows he isnt allowed up there! Tsk.

... full of lunch, off for a walk in the cold winds of Lancaster...

... feeling confused by Jason Rohrer's 'Between'...

Lunch is a spicy malay curry with rice

Emergency lunch, nothing else handy :(

Rosti with jerk, cheese and jalapenos

Guess the plant?

Growing happily in our bathroom

Helpful cat

... eating saffron-spiced cream and leek pasta with roasted butternut squash for lunch...

... grey skies... grey mood...

... Full of mock bacon and avacado pancakes, heading for the garden...

... about to hit the garden for a bit of action... yes, gardening action...

... cranking up the drum and bass electronic dubstep and readying the first chilled beer...

... waiting for the weekend...

... eating Pad Thai for lunch - sooo good...

Maceration in progress

It is called german lemonade (best translation) :)

... Spring at last! Friday at last! Sunshine again! Yes, yes, yes!

... deeply suspicious - the office, after a brief tea break, now smells horribly of cat poo... I have searched everywhere, but no sign... :(

... working my way through a suspiciously long list of annoying to-dos...

... Back in lancaster...

... On train back to lancaster... I wonder if i will make last orders...
