Today was the ending of an era.

For the last two years, Tuesday afternoons I have met locowerewolf and purplefringe for coffee at Café Roma. It hasn't been every Tuesday, or indeed always on a Tuesday, it hasn't always been the both of them or even just exclusively the three of us, it hasn't often been coffee and it has often been at Zest when the sun is shining, but ( Read more... )

I had a sausage sandwich for breakfast this morning.

You do not know how happy this made me.

Sausage sandwiches are one of the pinnacles of modern culinary life. As we as a family not only rarely have sausages but also rarely have cooked breakfasts (unless my sister is being awesome) and I as an individual rarely have breakfast full stop, me ( Read more... )

Let's get up to speed, shall we?

Okay, so maybe those need some elaboration...

The book was Captain Corelli's Mandolin (#16), and was definately one of the best ( Read more... )

Every time I have refreshed my flist since turning on the PC this evening, there has been a new entry to read. Not only that, but, from the rather purtey 'My LJ' window, I can see that between the time I last looked at my flist and this present moment, there has been another update.
