Time off

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Country houses, walled gardens, hidden orchards, sparkling prosecco, crisp white wine, picnics, potato salad, cornettos and 99s, sitting in the sun.
It’s what bank holidays are for.
Cooking: Risotto
Watching: A Bond film, any Bond film will do…
Listening to: The Wombats

More than the sum of its parts?

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

No blogging last week* as I was busy being distracted by visitors from foreign climes, one actual American, two ex-pats who live there and a Swede (from Sweden not the vegetable) were visiting.
I’ve got lots of half formed thoughts floating around about polling - I took part in an IPSOS/Mori poll the other day; about […]

Things I did today that may or may not be work related:

Friday, April 4th, 2008

1. Had an ugly naked guy moment as one of the guests in the hotel I can see out my window at work forgot to draw the curtains as he wondered around, before and after getting into the shower. A bit like a diet coke break… but not.
Work related activity rating: 5 – […]

Spring resolutions

Monday, March 31st, 2008

I don’t do New Years resolutions (well, not very well). Its always too cold, too wet, too depressing to do anything other than just get through winter till spring when things start to seem to be possible again, when change seems realistic and achievable and even desirable. So with the clocks gone forward […]

Back from a lovely long weekend in Paris with Mikey. The food was just delicious, from simple bread and cheese bought at the supermarche to cakes […]

Ca va? Je suis en Paris avec Mikey. C’est Bon!
Wishing: my French was better than this
Off to: Louvre
Eating: croissants, mmmm

Stupid shoes

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Recently all of my work shoes died once, going to the little cobblers in the sky. The heel of one of my knee high boots snapped as I was walking across Central Lobby in Parliament, leading to a quick out burst of swearing followed by as hasty and dignified exit as one can make […]

Easter scrum

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

In the supermarket world Waitrose is the preserve of grannies, yummie mummies and the well off. I’d been tempted in there on Thursday evening by their easter egg adverts, looking for one of the Mr Potato Head ones for Boy.
But despite its impression as a genteel place to shop, the easter egg aisle […]
