The last post...of 2013


Upcoming highlights, 2014

A short break in the New Forest. The sooner the better. I like going to places well out of season. Feels all the better.

Half Man Half Biscuit.

Harlequins v Saracens at Wembley.

The Lord's Tour (already looking for the Sussex away T20 game tie-in).

The January transfer window.

The Six Nations.

The Hobbit, part 3.

More Walking Dead.

A proper day off tomorrow.


It's a brightly coloured saucer-sized plate...

...with a spiral pattern of raised spiky bits.

Genius.

Wet it, rub ginger and garlic on it.

Perfect puréed flavourings, and minimal clean up (rinse under hot water).

Fantastic.


The best laid plans...

...and all that.

Plan A was to do a couple of hours work in the morning, despite it being a day's annual leave, then have a read, walk the dogs, read some more, make some dinner, that sort of thing.

Plan B:

  • The server suffers a terminal breakdown. IT John used the technical version of the f-word to describe its condition. “How's it going?” I asked. “It's f-worded” he said, “to use the technical term.” Bit of an IT nerd on the quiet, it's a term I'm familiar with.
  • Perishing with the server? Four hours dictation, stored on there during Monday and Friday.
  • Spend all day trying to retrieve the situation, typing up and sending in what I'd already dictated.
