Last Week: A Retrospective

Most interesting drink: gin and tonic with frozen peas. Concocted last Saturday when gin and tonic was required, but no ice was present. We initially added the peas to cool the gin and tonic, but the flavours actually went together quite well. Gin soaked peas are quite tasty to eat at the end, too.

Gin and Peas

Thing that I laughed at the most: This overheard conversation.

Most exciting purchase: Pack of 10 dishbrushes from eBay.

Greatest achievement: writing a new tune (in 11/8).

Favourite quotation from Wikipedia:Cuttlefish eat small molluscs, crabs, shrimp, fish, octopuses, worms, and other cuttlefish. Their predators include dolphins, sharks, fish, seals and other cuttlefish.”

Best fantasy moment: The Beatles helping me with the housework. Ringo sorted out the recycling; George vacuumed everything; Paul sat in the corner noodling on the guitar in a helpful sort of way; and John dusted the ceiling, naked (despite instructions to sort out my Pile Of Documents That I Don’t Want To Deal With, which are still in a pile in a box in the corner).

Bad Supermarket Check-out Experiences: 0. Nobody asked me any intrusive questions or talked too much about my shopping – possibly because I have started avoiding the staff who I know will do so. It’s made my life a bit nicer.

Time zone: Body appears to have reverted to Bermuda time. Again.

Things Which Should Not Be Nice But Kind of Are #1

Sauce: made from tomato ketchup, balsamic vinegar and chilli powder.

With stir fry made from noodles, eggs, prawns, peas, olive oil and soy sauce.

[Plus glass of whisky because I was in a foul mood about not being able to play a really quite simple rhythm in time to the beat.]

Wrong, yet right.
