Well as a footnote to the last post, I was asked to note that for the celebratory pint consumed after the Little Chef road trip, Rosa had a bottle of Ram Rod and I a pint of Winter Warmer, in this nice little proper old Young's boozer just round the corner from my place. In the pub was the most gorgeous cat which we instantly took a liking too, it ( Read more... )

Its been a busy few days. Wednesday  went with my friend Rosa to see that new Richard Curtis movie, 'The Boat that Rocked.' It was great fun.

last night i went into the kitchen to make dinner, shepherds pie if you're interested, but thats not the point. I'd got my mince and all the  nice veggies simmering away in a pan and opened the cupboard to get the worcestershire sauce. I saw inside 2 little moths, "bugger" I thought, where they coming from ( Read more... )
