Oh well - let's hope the temps stay up - it's still cold but at least it's not freezing
let the education continue

Unfortunately I've been told I'm doing something on Monday, I think York is involved 'spider.
Why didn't you say earlier, we could have done the lights in York

TT, you have to forgive the guys not wanting the overtime, the other halfs will be wanting them for xmas shopping duties

I've just realised it's Friday!!

I've spent the last hour convinced it was Saturday and I'd lost a day!

It must be Strictly that's thrown me.

What did Matt do wrong?

I thought he danced brilliantly but the judges...

No idea what he did wrong HG - they don't seem to like Aliona's choreography.
No wonder he didn't have staying power for the swingathon - after just dancing and getting that pasting from the judges.

Ah well looks like Cara is going to win it.

Better go and do some shopping tomorrow then.

Whoopeeeeee!

I am on holiday!

I have next week off then 5 more working days this year. I might even get to take some pictures.

Nice Chinese tonight and some cider to wash it down.

Talking of food, I was in a chav supermarket and I saw a rare cullinary delicacy from the past.

Now these may not quite be up to Tony's standards but back in the sixties they were my first taste of (anything remotely resembling) foreign food.I remember being slightly surprised that prawns were made of cardboard. I just couldn't resist trying them again.

I'll report back on how awful they are.

Blimey - just like Pot Noodle - add boiling water , stir , throw away contents and eat container !!!

Never had the nerve to try the Risotto - I think the Chow Mein belonged to a friend !!

My Dad rarely did any cooking, but when he did his "speciality" was Vesta Beef Curry

I would have thought that Vesta ready meals had fallen foul of the Trades Description Act by now. I remember my Dad eating them occasionally thirty-five years ago!

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
