Office fridges

admin — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 11:38:00 +0000

All office fridges have their quirks, smells and politics. In the last office I worked at we joked about the ‘dog’s milk’ that would turn up mysteriously. Nobody knew where it came from. Actually it was UHT, but not many of us could stand it in our tea or coffee, but when there is no fresh milk and the thought of walking to the shop is too much, we all drank the ‘dogs milk’! Now I have the opposite, my new job has a well stocked fridge at all times.

I for one have been looking forward to the royal wedding, not because I am a fan of the royal family, but because of the day off we will all enjoy. I love these alternative royal wedding plates by London agency KK outlet

Eccentric fella, Pétanque and a rainbow!

A lovely evening playing Pétanque on the seafront and we met this colourful character who had found some free stuff next to a bin. He was very chatty, and I ended buying the palm tree off him for £1. He found the sherrif’s badge on his hat, the goblet (somehow filled with some booze since crossing the street a guitar and the palm. Apparently he need to catch a bus back to London and was £2 short. I gave him back the palm and told him to try selling it again to make his next £1 he needed!

This was shortly followed by seeing a rainbow over the old pier… I love balmy summer nights in Brighton, especially when you meet strange and wonderful people like Palm tree man!

Seagulls vs Cheesecake

admin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 08:52:53 +0000

I have mentioned my seagull friends before, well this week I had some disappointing cheesecacke to get rid of. It was a Tesco’s finest one with packaging and descriptive adjectives that would make your mouthwater, but a bit of an anti climax to actually eat. Eventually the ‘eat by date’ passed, and one of my hungry seagull visitors was hanging about being very brave (they usually fly off when I get too near!) so I gave hime the last quater. They looked quite mean whilst eating it, and it took under 10 seconds to go!

Fiest on Sesame street

How appropriate that fiest is helping kids learn to count… one, two, three, four : counting to four! Even James Blunt seems a bit less of a drip singing ‘triangle’ instead of Beautiful also on one of these Sesame street clips.

Stuck for ideas what to cook? Try this site…

If you are the type to ‘pardon my french’ then this website might make you chuckle. A simple and to the point site actually throws in some half decent ideas and some rather more bluesky thinking ones like: “Dark Chocolate and Pistachio Matzo Bark”.

Sometimes I feel like doing this, not sure how it would go down in Brighton!
