not as many as i should have, i'm starting to realise...
but what the fuck!
it's really starting to look kinda finished and i know what's gone in to it. i took photos of quite a lot of the technical stuff, the underpinning and steelwork and underfloor heating and suchlike...
i also took photos of all the spurting cocks that inevitably get drawn/painted on walls during a refurb.
lots and lots of cocks!

You got a little'un haven't you
How do you manage with all the chaos? When my dad's decorating, he phones me up and I have to go to their house, get my height measured and write what band is my current favourite. The height has obviously not changed, and I'm too cynical to have a new favourite band, but he's got them all on the living room wall since I was 10. I'd do it if I had kids or if my cat would comply.

that's a fantastic idea! i've got some nice wood so i'll make a height-plank we can take with us when we move...
thankfully we've not been living in the house.

I'm not surprised!
My mate is on the happies, and personally I think the dose is too high. She was like Zebedee in her movements and was being a bit too 'friendly' with the chaps on Friday when we were out. I said "Are you on pills?!" (meaning ecstasy or something) and she goes "WOO! You fucking know I am, double the dose!" She's either on to many or she is more than merely depressed. It's exhausting, lolzilla!

i'm on Zoloft (cirtraline) and it's a bit freaky at times...
it was 1 a day for 2 weeks then 2 a day after that. when i first started and then when i increased the dose i kept getting the most amazing rushes. it was very mdma like. pretty much the same chemistry i guess. i had days when i just had to come home and hibernate in a groovy sofa fog. but it's calming down now...thank fuck. i dig the zebedee reference, i can see i was a bit like that...

good god, what he would have made of obama gettin' elected!!!
but anyway...
the door is ajar...

the sri-lankan curry that i'm making is nearly ready. doing it in the (little-used) pressure cooker. lamb and beef got marinaded overnight in:
* 1 tbsp ginger paste
* 1 tbsp garlic paste
* 1.5 tbsp red chilli powder
* 1 tbsp coriander powder
* 1/2 tbsp black pepper powder
* 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
* 1/4 tsp cumin powder
* Salt
then fried off:
# 2 cups chopped onions
# 3-4 split green chilies
# 2 tsp fenugreek seeds
# a few curry leaves
seperate pan, browned meat, added to onions once they were browned a bit. then add a tin of coconut milk. about 10 minutes or so once the thingy pops up on the pressure cooker.
mix in a little garram masala and lime juice when you take it off the heat and sprinkle with fried/roasted peanuts to serve.

Nom nom!
Sounds delicious. I'm taking my bezzy mate to my mum and dad's for sunday roast. We're going to drink booze with my family then get tarted up for an 80s rock night at a bar near mine. Nostalgia or what! Enjoy your curry, I might pop back online in a bit, or I might just get straight on the sauce. Yard-arm and all that...
