30/30: Now with extra winkle

It’s the end of NaBloPoMo! My saviour this month was my little blue and black notebook in which I plotted ideas and made notes for blog posts when things popped into my mind, so I spent very little time whining either to myself or to others about how I didn’t know what I was going [...]

29/30: Shopping

All of my bones ached today on account of spending the day walking around Bluewater shopping centre yesterday. Suzy and I didn’t do badly with our shopping. I got a few Christmas bits and pieces done and we both found some nice clothes. We were also both very smug about getting lunch before the crowds [...]

28/30: And you thought pine needles were messy

Yes, boys and girls, you too could have a hot pink Christmas tree with its own falling polystyrene snow. I’m guessing this isn’t really intended for households with babies or kittens … or taste.

27/30: Winged things

This afternoon I spent a while under my cosy teal fleece blanket watching a couple of episodes of Pan Am and enjoying the sixties fashion and the glitz and glamour. I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up and while I know it’s not a flight attendant, the TV version [...]

26/30: I miss Sim City

I’m not sure I’ve achieved much today. Though getting rid of a stinking headache this morning certainly took some work, so I’m counting that for something. The rest of the day went on, I’m not sure what. The kind of nothing-ish day that would have years ago seen a few hours lost in Sim City. [...]

25/30: CDWM: My dessert

I wasn’t aware of any typical Mexican dessert until I watched a cookery show on TV, which introduced me to churros, little donut sticks that can be dunked in warm chocolate sauce. As I’d never tasted, never mind made them before, I had a trial run and tried out various methods of reheating them too. [...]

24/30: A moo point

Way back in the summer – remember that time? – Suzy turned up one afternoon with a craft for us to do. A craft! She had a couple of little papier mâché animals and a packet of patterned tissue paper, a couple of brushes and a pot of glue. I took the cow and we [...]

23/30: Gaisberg

The day before I flew home from Salzburg we made a little 20 minute road trip to the Gaisberg mountain. It’s a mountain I’ve seen often and was the first one I had to learn, as it’s easily identifiable by the big antenna on its peak. Though the sun had been shining when I arrived [...]
