I have a story up on The Slant! (A sarcastic and cynical news feed.) Yay!

paul_marks is up visiting, which is nice.
I cycled out to the Balloon Tree farm shop and back to get a lot of veg, lamb and beef. It's about, ooh, a 12 mile round trip. Along busy roads. But no cars tried to kill me, though one 4x4 did try overtaking a learner on the other side of the road, thereby coming right towards me. It's a good job the road was wide enough - nowhere for me to go. Meh. Still, maybe the idiot driver will be a bit more observant next time - he got truly beeped at by other drivers.
After lunch, I cleaned out my veg drawer at the bottom of the fridge, then decided to clear out my cupboards and rearrange them. So now I have a full compost heap (bags of flour dating back 2 years, very out of date rice cakes, etc), and cupboards where I can find things (all in date), and actual space in my cupboard to put away my food processer. Go me! For dinner I did: chicken fillets on a bed of onion, celery, apple, apricots with honey, in a sauce of a little bit of chopped garlic, some mustard, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger and orange juice, with lime juice. And roast carrot, parsnip and celeriac. Sprouts with chestnuts. Mashed potatoes and swede. Yummy!
ravenlas came back from town with Battlestar Galactica season 1 - and a bag full of lush stuff for me. I love him! He's so thoughtful! So if you don't hear from me for a while, it's because I'm getting all prune-like in the bath. At this point, it'd be a good thing to have a second loo in the house. Oh well! *shrug* *evil cackle*
