Total lack of decent chippy's around these parts.
I haven't had cod in years, as it's just bloody expensive, but I scored some Alaskan cod (freshly caught) so am doing homemade fish and chips tonight, and I have some mushy peas in the cupboard from the English store. I also have some old Eastenders tapes and Rita, Sue & Bob Too that I'll watch.

English night!

How are you lot? All have a good weekend, I trust?
Gonz - looks like you might be able to go on holiday?
Wanderer - how's the ankle?
BGB - how's the Jeff Bridges crush?
Psychochomp - doing alright?
Beckyletters - how's the job?
Monty - hope things get a bit better on the MentalEx front.

Things are looking better.
I can now take the boot off so I can sleep without having to wake up to knee and hip pain from a cast twisting me into an odd position. And while I don't dare put weight on it yet, I can move the foot around without a lot of pain, probably more so than the docs would expect.

And now I have an office chair with wheels in the kitchen, so I can move around again with things in my hands so I can cook for myself! Maybe tonight I'll make a pot of soup out of the odds and ends in the fridge that the kids have left in there over the past few weeks...

So how much longer
are you going to be laid up?
( Batshitmentalist is sane for once, Mon 19 Apr 2010, 22:42, Reply)

No weight on it until May 15.
At that point I should be able to drive again, and maybe I can start using a cane instead of crutches so I'll at least have one hand free.

And what did you get up to this weekend? Catch anything notable? (Fish, that is. If I don't qualify that these pervs will run with it.)

Erm, take a look a few posts down.
I did real good!

Booya!
Take that, fish!

Cooked it up with that night, with ribeyes and shrimp
and it was apparently great! I just didn't want to eat it after spending all day fishing! LOL!
The steak and shrimp were really good, though.

Also - Booya is one of the sponsors...!

I'm not sure what to have for dinner.
I might just ask someone to pick me up a red curry on the way home from the Thai restaurant. I'm in the mood for something with a little authority to it. Somehow the idea of odds and ends soup isn't really appealing to me at the moment.

Mmm....thai curry is awesome.

It's a cool evening here, so it would be nice.
Especially as I still can't quite reach some of the stuff in my kitchen.

Another reason I'll be glad to be off the crutches: it currently takes far too much planning and effort to get to the bathroom to piss.

Still there love.
Just bought 'The men who stare at goats' today. Jeff is in it.
