Ok, to fill you all in on just why my posting has been pants for the last few months and why I’ve been so ill and why I’ve barely posted anything else. You see, when you have something big happening in your life it’s all you want to write about – especially on a personal [...]
Banana cake
Today I have reigned supreme in the kitchen.. Only because himself wasn’t here of course, but supremely reigning I was indeedy. I have made the lightest, tastiest banana and pecan cake ever. Seriously – it’s to die for. It could be because I used half the sugar I normally do, it could be because I [...]
High school musical
I’ve seen this thing everywhere – and I do mean everywhere, Claire started talking about it tonight because apparantly all her kids love it (by ‘her kids’ I mean the ones she teaches music to) so I asked her what the deal was – this sparked off a huge discussion with her sister about the [...]
Dirty weekend in Durham
Well, not really a dirty weekend, but it sounds good *grin* One of Stef’s friends got married on Saturday, we had to go really – he made Stef do a reading at the wedding (which he got through in magnificent style despite his qualms about using the word ‘foibles’ *chuckle*) When we tried to book [...]
Christmas crashes and goodwill to all men
On the whole I’ve not had too bad a holiday season, good company, great food and many a gift all combine to create a feeling of general goodwill, the only fly in the ointment was this crappy illness rearing it’s ugly little head and preventing me from seeing my bestest bud.
Gauchos
Ick. I had a full blog post in my head, it was sat there eagerly awaiting escape to the net. But it’s gone. *sigh* my head is so full of holes these days I can’t seem to retain a thought for more than 5 minutes. I’m blaming therapy (even though I’ve only been once) I [...]
fud and a request
This was going to be an audio post but then I figured I’d take pity on your poor ears and not bother – mainly because I started yawning after every other word and sitting silently for a few minutes attempting to think of something to say. Pants eh?!
new things
I’ve realised something very important this year. Pumpkin seeds are very tasty indeed. *grin* Can you believe that I never knew you had to crack the shell before eating seeds? I’ve always thought people who ate that stuff were loopy because it just tasted like dry nastiness whenever I’d tried them, I’d pick one up, [...]
google rule the www
Hmm… I’m beginning to think that Google are trying to take over the webiverse. I know – you already knew that, what can I say? I’m a little slow. Anyhow, if you want to try the new google talk thing but seem to be lacking a gmail account (um…Why?) don’t worry – both K and [...]
Valentines the first
My bloke is truly a complete and utter darling. True… By 8pm I’d decided that he’d fallen asleep and forgotten he was coming over to do a ‘valentines thing’ with me. Then he rang and said he’d lost track of time apologies etc… fair enough – at least he was awake (yes, he did that [...]
