Friday!

It's my SIL's birthday, and we've had pizza and watched the second part of Sherlock - a bit disappointing to me considering how spectacularly awesomely written-just-for-me the first part was. But there's a whole nother piece to come. And that may be better ( Read more... )

Today has been a day in which I just cannot stop eating. I'm trying to placate it with monster salad vegetables, and I can tell that my stomach is full, but it's just so cold and wintery and brrr that all I want to do is sit and eat. Nom nom nom. Let it be so. I just have to give into it on this occasion I think ( Read more... )

I went round to see my mum today: we baked an apple pie, which I subsequently brought back home and now is COMPLETELY EATEN. Mum is tremendously better (still with some symptoms of this and that, and recuperating still so not very well in lots of ways, but really, filled with energy and awesomeness). It was possibly the best apple pie I ever ( Read more... )

I'm watching Taking Woodstock, it's kind of great like buying a fifty cent mixture at the dairy when you're little. There's one of everything, including surprise! JDM and Liev Schreiber as a transvestite ex-marine, also Dmitri Martin is very likeable. And I like Ang Lee, he's very gentle as a film-maker, in the sense that he doesn't force you to ( Read more... )

Mum is doing better today, they are beginning to think about when they might let her go home! Probably not for at least a couple of days, but it is on the horizon! Fingers crossed, yet again! She is really beginning to chomp at the bit in terms of thinking through things that she will be able to do. It's still astounding to me. My sister (the one ( Read more... )

Last night I went to bed quite late for me, about 12.30. And then, I woke up at 1.30, and I thought it was the morning. It's really hard to tell at the moment, because at 7.00 or so, it's that dark and that cold in the house ( Read more... )

I like watching food tv. I watch Master Chef and Iron Chef America (Battle Butter! Battle Bacon! Battle Berries!) and weird shit with random people travelling around eating stuff (Rick Stein! The Hairy Bikers ( Read more... )

Today did NOT start well.

( TMI of a medical nature... )

I am uncommonly HUNGRY at the moment, I really can't think why in particular that might be. My amount of exertion is pretty much standard, but I want to eat and eat and eat all the time. Then, after I eat, I think of more things that I can eat ( Read more... )

It's been crazy windy and hot today. Norwester! I woke up early at about 5.30, with the realisation I hadn't put out the recycling last night, and then when I'd gone out and put the bins out, I felt like going for a long walk or maybe a run, because it was so beautiful and warm. I got back into bed for a tiny moment, and before I realised it was ( Read more... )
