January 31, 2005Seasonal game(3)This is the last of the seasonal game for now... Mixed Game Casserole with Blueberries & mashed Root Vegetables...Read this update COMMENT SPAMMERSI'm sick of the comment spambots that target this blog. Since nobody is talking to me anyway, I'll close the comment options on new posts from now on (if I remember). The spam is targeted at posts about 2-3 weeks...Read this update January 27, 2005On a MissionYesterday, I was on a mission. Good things can come from going to travel shows. At the recent Daily Telegraph Travel & Adventure Show in Kensington, I hung out at the desk of a company that organises tours to some...Read this update January 24, 2005January 23, 2005Return to Bhagalpur?Until I have booked the flight, nothing is cast in stone. I do not need to go to Thailand or to SE Asia—I could go anywhere in the world. My only constraint is the budget: £1500 all-in. The destination and...Read this update Sunny SkiesI have noticed a strange phenomenon. Occasionally, when I wake up in the morning, golden light streams through the windows and the sky is a strange eggshell blue. It is sunny—in January! Apparently here in the South of England only...Read this update January 21, 2005Invasion of the Green CaterpillarsAt first, the only signs of past life in the house were the papery, dried-out carcasses of flies on the windowsills, but now the place is gradually being recolonized by local wildlife. Yesterday I spotted a woodlouse crawl slowly across...Read this update The EnforcersThe TV licensing people in this country are nasty and vicious people who should have been out of a job by the time ITV was introduced—although I have little doubt that they will go on to find gainful employment as...Read this update January 20, 2005Seasonal game (1)There is a farm shop in the area! It is not actually in Tadley but in a six-house-hamlet that calls itself 'Little London'(!). As soon as we could, we beat a path to its door. It was not strong on...Read this update January 17, 2005Kid in a Candy StoreGood timing, this. I've just run out of books (still not signed on for the living-room-sized library down the road)—but I have acquired enough travel brochures and magazines for weeks of browsing....Read this update Posted by Denni on January 17, 2005 08:53 PM
Category: January 13, 2005Time for another Tobacco RunSoon it will be time for another tobacco-run. It is amazing where you can fly to with EasyJet these days. The whole of Europe is opening up. Fifty quid will get you to Slovakia—or I could go to Prague for...Read this update January 10, 2005Curry Night (2)Lamb Dilpasand A rich, oniony, nutty curry based on a recipe by Mridula Baljekar, Indian Cooking, Coombe Books (1993, ISBN 1 85813 130 8). A bit of an effort, but well worth it. 500g cubed lamb; 125g natural yoghurt (full...Read this update January 05, 2005To Toil or to Travel?I know, this should be a no-brainer. But my original plan was to find some part-time work and save up for a trip later in the year. However, it turns out that jobs in the village are thin on the...Read this update January 04, 2005Walnut, Roquefort, Pear & Watercress SaladI'm just tucking into some of our last Christmas leftovers. With our move to Tadley completed, I have been cooking again and it is time to revive my recipe column. So here it is: Roquefort, Pear & Watercress Salad with...Read this update 2004: a local reviewThe final edition of the Basingstoke Observer, picked up at Sainsbury's, carried a review of local events in 2004—"the year of living dangerously". Among accounts of vandalism, post office closures, rottweiler attacks, anti-nuclear protests and the (mis-)fortunes of Basingstoke's seemingly...Read this update January 02, 2005AWE (Greetings from your Friendly Neighbourhood Atomic Weapons Establishment)As we stepped through the door of our new home, we were greeted by a local freesheet that had plopped through the letterbox: the 'AWE Community Link'....Read this update |
