Placenta Pate
@ 2009-06-30 – 22:02:12
There is a cookery programme on the telly right now showing you how to make it. Apparently it tastes a bit like liver pate.
Rather gone off that suddenly.
And a bunch of people at a drinks party are enjoying it on toast.Sorry, but I think I'll pass on that one.
I am sure that eating your own is probably very good for you but I draw the line at eating other people's.'nother Kill Bill I think Cookie.
Thank God we had chicken curry for tea.

This time last year
@ 2009-06-30 – 21:29:52
I was in Santorini.
It was sultry at night but we had a lovely breeze off the sea
And a roof top jacuzzi
And great food and cheap booze
And perfect sunsets
I wish I was there now

The truth is
@ 2009-06-28 – 22:04:03
That I detest cream cakes.
I used to go fishing a lot in my teens.
The lie is that obviously I have never been a model (not even a spitfire).

Tropical Wilderness
@ 2009-06-28 – 18:15:56
Today has been mega humid and so once again I ommited to try to get the tropical wilderness that calls itself my garden under control.
Instead Sarah and I had some retail therapy in a shoe shop in the morning
and then we went to the woods to the Warren with Nick for a picnic. After lunch I collapsed on the rugNick and Sarah ran about playing frisbee.Mr S elected to soldier on bravely with painting window frames. He should get a medal (although secretly I suspect painting windows was probably less effort than walking up the steep hill to the woods in the humidity).
There is a lot of static in the air, I think another storm cometh.
I am having a Kill Bill now which is galliano, pernod and Jaegermeister.
After this I may have another and then I am going to throw together some ingredients to make a chicken salad.

Doughballs
@ 2009-06-27 – 19:58:46
Spent the morning catching up on chores and doing a little retail therapy.
Spent the afternoon lazing in the sunshine in the garden.

Till the rain came, with spectacular thunder and lightening.

Well, Monsoon more like.........
Only just got the washing in
We were going for a picnic tonight in a clearing in the forest at the top of a hill.
So, now it is pasta/pizza and doughballs a bottle of fizz and some lovely sweet strawberries.
Card games round the with sara later I think.
Hope you have a great evening.

Just 5 days seems to make such a difference
@ 2009-06-25 – 23:09:42
Midsummer isn't even a week away and already I have noticed the sun is setting about half an hour earlier in the evenings. It is still lovely though and we have been making the most of the nice weather and the lighter evenings by trying to get out for an hour or so after work each evening this week.
Last night the sunset was spectacular at High Beech so tonight Mr S and I decided to go back again. A number of people had the same idea and there were a quite a few groups of families having picnics (wish I'd thought of that). Unfortunately quite a few insects had decided to dine al fresco too. Ouch!
It was not as spectacular as last night but pretty all the same
with the clouds moving and changing shape
It was quite fiery for a while just before the sun dropped below the horizon
And then just lovely and swirly
With the Young Moon joining in the dance
On the way home we had to slow right down and stop because a fox sauntered across the road in front of us. They don't seem to have any fear (or road sense at all). After it had crossed safely it stared at us from the verge for a few minutes.
Night night.
