# Evenin'
Or mornin', back in the civilised world.

Shit, it's afternoon now.

# Crap, they just changed the clocks here, too.
I have no idea anymore, other than it is dark and I want cake.

# That's in a couple of weeks here, thankfully
I'm just confused because I got up nice and early to watch the GP, which turned out to be shit.

# La la la la la la *can't hear you*
I'm going to watch it in a few hours. We end up with an odd mix of BBC and Australian coverage. One of the Australian commentators really knows his stuff and the other can't tell the front of a car from the back. They talk and then cut back to Martin Brundle. It's a bit odd, but there you go.

# Oh God, I want cake.
A huge Schwartzwaldertorte and coffee.

# Ah bugger it, it's nearly ten in the evening.
I'll make that a Kaffee-Schnapps.

/new flat on Tuesday blog.

What sort of cake?

# *haha points*
I probably have enough stuff to make a cake but I couldn't be bothered.

# OMG OMG OMG
I just got some milk from the communal fridge and there was a maple pecan Daish the size of the Moon in there. I ight have to take it, eat it, buy a replacement and leave a note of apology in French to throw the scent off of me. Being English, I couldn't possibly speak another language.

# Leave it in Swahili
That'll confuse the buggers

Edit: This is what google translate gave me: "Sorry kwamba mimi alichukua keki yako lakini tafadhali kuamini kwamba akaenda mahali bora zaidi ingekuwa vinginevyo. Mbali, unahitaji kupoteza baadhi uzito. Lots wa upendo, Mavis."

Evidently either Google or Swahili speakers don't know the meaning of the word "Sorry".

# Aha!
And that would lay the blame squarely at the door of the African girl who lives in the room opposite the fridge.
Back in a minute...

# Go to Switzerland.
They use 'sorry' there all the time instead of 'entschuldigung'

# Convenient
here in baden-wuerttemberg they mix and match, probably to see what confuses you the most.

# big fridge.
I always love special lectures at uni, they have the best cakes. Almost makes sitting through the dullarse talks worthwhile.

# I've been taught the trick
of drinking tea through a Tim-tam.

Although Tim-tam sounds like a tampon.

# can't say I'm a fan of that
probably because I got it wrong, got timtam crumbs up my nose and my ears went pop. Have you been converted to vegemite yet?

# Nope.
Haven't tried very hard, though. the main difficulty would be getting the girls to accept it. They're not usually fussy about food, but the pair of them can notice the difference between Marmite and another brand of yeast extract, which is pretty discerning...
