I've had an absolutely delightful week. The Acquisitions christmas lunch went rather smoothly despite some emergencies the restaurant was suffering, and I think everyone very much enjoyed the food. Half of us had gone there the night before for happy hour drinks... in fact I went there the next night for drinks too. The Manager must think I'm ( Read more... )

It's safe to come near again. My tupperware party was last night. It was a really good night, with some friends from work and my flatmate attending. I cooked dinner for all and it went over really well. One of my guests brought a really nice drop of bubbly and at the end of the night we'd racked up enough sales to get me a free saucepan - and ( Read more... )

Yep. I'm dead. I had the best sashimi of my life for lunch on Friday. A few people from work went along with me to Shoya in Market Lane. We sat at the sushi counter and, not bothering with such things as menus, allowed the chef to decide what to feed us. The first thing he fed us was this:

The Sister-Whose-Glare-Can-Kill-At-50-Paces is all happy now and hardly glares at anyone so she needs a name change. I will call her The Sparky Sister, because she has an electrical aprenticeship at BHP, and that's part of the reason she is happy now ( Read more... )

Well, it looks like I won't be a horse owner anymore this weekend. The lady leasing Jay has told me she is ready to buy him. It still doesn't feel real after all this time ( Read more... )
