Recipe time!
(I think it was one of the Hitchhikers Guide books that had a bit about tenses and time travel.) I’ve decided to share the recipe I’m using today for slow cook barbecue ribs. Now, there are so...
I need a freaking drink
Bit of an odd way to send your message. (Incidentally, whenever I see these, I’m reminded of a certain diarist. I’m not sure why…) So, for a while now, I’ve been having £5 a week taken off my...
Just make it a good one
This is something I saw on Facebook and had to share here as well. It’s called “The impact of a book” and I’m absolutely fascinated by it. It is stunning. I actually did something last night....
10 print “Hello world!”
Leopard sculpture in Aberdeen in a not at all awkward to view position… The writing’s going well. Which is to say, it’s going well in my own head. I’ve got, what, five chapters and the ending...
We provide beverage
This is the wee park near the flat on Sunday. Yes, we had more SNA! Sadly, it didn’t stick for longer than a day. Those of you who have read my ramblings for a while will know I’m a wrestling...
Who dis?
Ha! I’ll bet you forgot about the saga of me upgrading my phone, right? Last time I left this tale, I had left my new phone at the shop for them to send back. Unfortunately, that was just bef...
It always comes in threes
There were three celebrity deaths in the UK this week. Two people most of you haven’t heard of, one that you definitely would have. The first one was Sir Ken Dodd. Inhabitant of Knotty Ash, i...
Will they change the bill of fare?
(Seriously, what the hell does coverted even mean?) This is my latest theme of the week entry. Because this weeks theme is about food and I love talking about food. My favourite dish my mum m...
But it takes more than this to make sense of the day
Looking at that picture, I’m not sure why people think I like reading… I’m knackered. I’m constantly knackered. I’m getting about 8 hours sleep a night and usually have a nap during the day, ...
In which the author breaks some art
Yeah… One of the local art galleries was launching their new exhibition today. I went to have a look. As I did, I turned round and nudged the stand for one of the sculptures and it kinda fell...
I’m currently rewatching Jessica Jones season 1 before bingeing season 2. I love this show so very much. I suppose it is kinda obvious I would though. I’m a huge fan of noir books and films (...
You couldn’t make it up. No, really, you couldn’t
You know how they said that satire died when Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize? They may have been out a few decades. It’s truly dead now. The Sun, a paper I haven’t held in any reg...
Turn and face the strange
(Oh, come on, like I wasn’t going to use the TARDIS for this one…) I’ve recently re-read my old entries and one of the things I’ve learned is that a variation of this question was asked a lot a...
*Insert witty title here*
I did dye my hair on Saturday night. Here, from left to right, is me normally, me having gone blond and the end result: I think it turned out OK. I took part in the Reddit Gifts book exch...
Oscar predictions
(That’s my nephew Oscar. It fits the theme. That’s my niece Tamara in the picture as well.) I didn’t get to watch every film I wanted to, so here’s my predictions for the categories where I h...
I’m not as clever as Mark Twain
I watched I, Tonya last night. I actually kinda feel sorry for Tonya Harding after watching it. Only kinda, I doubt the film is that accurate. I’m dying my hair tomorrow. It’s going to be go...
Imagine the disturbance at the time of the occurrence
I may love snow, doesn’t mean I can’t have fun with it at the same time. Meanwhile, in Geordieland: I’ve finally watched all the nominees for the Best Picture Oscar this year. Here’s my cap...
If we all hold hands and very quietly shout
I really don’t know what inspired me to post this song… Because I’m nothing if not a bandwagon jumper, here’s my answers to the housing survey doing the rounds. And because I can’t stand shout...
I smell snow!
(You know, I’ll never understand why people on Gilmore Girls made fun of Lorelai for saying she can smell snow. Not only is it possible to sense snow (I knew we were getting snow at the weekend...
*Bangs head off wall*
This phone upgrade is going well. Depending on your definition of well, that is. Now, I could either get the phone sent to the flat or to my local EE shop. I got it sent to the shop. This is...
Brunchy Spoon
Yes, I can explain my entry title. A couple of days ago, I decided to watch every film nominated for the Best Picture Oscar before the ceremony. Last night, I decided to extend that to every f...
Hold the phone!
So, I’m not getting the phone I mentioned in the last entry. Got an email this morning saying it was out of stock, but they’d let me know when they had more. When I phoned about this, I was to...
On phones and letters
Phones: My mum phoned me earlier on her mobile phone, which was a surprise. My mum never uses her mobile phone. I don’t mean that as in actually hardly ever but does on occasion. I mean as i...
Fit like?
I wanted to use one of these as the main picture, but it cut part of each out. So, you’ve got my Chandler collection instead. I did manage to get my leather jacket. Which is a surprise, c...
I’ll render services that you may reasonably require
I finally have the money to pay for my subscription, which means I can finally post photos! The picture above is me outside the TARDIS before one of the advanced screenings of the Doctor Who Ch...
