In the immortal words of Mr Noddy Holder...

IT'S CHRISTMAAAAAAAAS!



All that hair!!!

Small joint of reduced Value beeef from Tesco for dinner today. There's only the two of us.

Tomorrow my son and his fiancee are coming for dinner and it's a leg of lamb cooked in this little beauty from Aldi.

Unfortunately Aldi have removed the image. So think large oval casserole made by a certain french sounding merchant of expensive cast iron wares and you will get the picture. It is a rather nice warm red colour.

Bought it last Thursday and it will be it's first outing. If it's anything like the others in the range I've got, it will be good.

Rayburn + cast iron pot + leg of lamb = Heaven!

Merry Christmas everybody.

An Amazing Concept

Chris Cobb, a local San Francisco artist did something amazing to a bookshop called Adobe Books- he arranged every single one of the 20,000 books by color. {Can you see this would be my fantasy?} The project is called "There is Nothing Wrong in This Whole Wide World" and is based on a simple idea:

"Even though there is so much to be unhappy about in this world, we should try to create something amazing and beautiful and interesting despite all of the problems." Chris Cobb

Chris and a team of 16 volunteers stayed up all night (ten hours, several pizzas and 30 bottles of water later) and arranged all of the books by hand. Inside every book there is a tag saying where it belongs.





Unfortunately this piece only existed until January 15th 2005

Long time no post!

I've been getting acquainted with my new (castoff from more tech-savvy and wealthy son!) Google phone.




Going to be a steep learning curve!!
