My oh my what a wonderful day.

Ah marvellous weekend for Rum Punch and Havanas in the garden, wasn't it?

I'm off to the bank to pay credit card bills now.

What will break your heart today?

Good morning!
What a beautiful day. I had a fantastic weekend (I recommend anyone to go to Florence, however a bit expensive, it's a great place)

I'm happy today, I have the feeling it's going to be a good week, and I'm going to Belgium on Friday.

I hope nothing breaks my heart!

will depress you, if not break your heart!

Unless you buy lots of Belgian chocolate, of course.

I'm meeting some friends in Mons. The city celebrates George and the Dragon next weekend, with parades and street markets and a big party. I'm looking forward to it (and who needs chocolate when you can eat loads of CHEESE!!)

despite having two of the worst nights sleep ever over the weekend it was still great. lay on the beach at West Bay for 4 hours on Saturday. Had an awesome surf yesterday afternoon. Followed by a griddled steak and king prawn sandwich.

Only in the office 3 days this week though :-D

I have hot water again – and my sitting room light now has a working switch again so I don’t need to take the bulb out in order to turn the light off any more. Woo fucking hoo. My dear pal dragged me from my pit yesterday, drove me to the builders’ merchant, told me what to buy and an hour later had fixed everything. Total cost: £33 plus a can of Grolsch.

The rather attractive young lady I left in my bed this morning
Don't think any of you will remember my post about me telling my friend of 5 years I'm in live with her. But yes, that's kind of it, I've been in love with her for a long time.

Turns out she's got similar feelings for me too. We can't be together though, not yet. In 8 weeks, she moves to Singapore for 8 months. I've just found out this weekend I'm getting £1,000 through my Great Aunt's will.

B3tans, I ask this. Do I use that money to clear all my debts, and be left with £400-ish. Or do I put it towards going to Singapore at Christmas, seeing her then?

Argh! What do I do?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 24 May 2010, 9:22, Reply)

that's more or less how I got together with the girl I'm marrying. although she didn't move country.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 24 May 2010, 9:31, Reply)

If you're staying with her in Singapore
It shouldn't be too expensive. Pay your debts and then get the tickets. If you go to a good travel agency you can pay month by month whatever is left (they won't be much more than £500, I'd think) But go and visit her!

a flight to Singapore shouldn't cost you that much more than £400 anyway? Clear your debts first, save what's left and add to it over the next six months. Shouldn't be too hard, given you're saving for something you really want.

too much drinking and robust portions at home, followed by too much drinking and uni food.

the mrs and I both put on a load of weight a couple of years back too. didn't realise quite how much until looking at photos, which is kind of odd.

she joined weight watchers for a while and it had a knock on effect on me which has meant I've lost a load and seem to be keeping it off regardless of what I eat.

even listening to music the exercise bikes and runners etc. were dull as fuck

yet I can happily swim 40 lengths without getting bored.

there weren't that many hot women at my gym
at the pool however..... :-D

I'm the opposite.
Swimming bores me to tears and everyone is always in the way but at the gym I can zone out with my music on.

also, because I'm paying for it my innate stinginess ensures I actually go regularly.

What I do
is drink like a fish and take loads of drugs, and never take any exercise bar walking up the hill to my office, and down it again at the end of my day.

I look fabulous as a result - you should try it!

I've always been slim naturally.
But there was a picture of me before Christmas and my face looked really round and my suit wasn't fitting properly; I hadn't noticed and it took that photo to get me back in the gym.

that sounds excellent
my graze box arrived too. I had my first last week. I too was mildly disappointed, but you'll be surprised how long one of those little punnets keeps you going.

Well free this week and 1/2 price next week, I'll make a decision after that on whether to continue

A company sends you 4 pots of nuts, seeds, dried fruit, olives etc every week
for you to graze on.

Radishes!
On the way back I bought a small punnet of radishes at someone's garden gate. I haven't had radishes for years. Bloody marvellous they were.

I have never bought radishes
or eaten them in more than a miniscule quantity. I think I like them.

Crow's Daft Experiments #72
Hypothesis: It is possible to cook an omelette on a BBQ.

After one too many G&T's yesterday evening I decided it was too hot in the house to turn the oven on just to cook a couple of sausages. I have also never thought sausages cook properly in a frying pan. My thoughts turned to the dormant barbecue outside.

Ten minutes later and in the absence of any charcoal I had a small wood fire going in the middle of the barbecue, on which I managed to cook not only sausages but also an omelette. In the end, I had more fire than I really needed, but common sense, a lack of food and some slightly burnt fingers helped me decide it wasn't worth trying to cook anything else on there.

Nevertheless, this experiment proved a SUCCESS. _{I need to find a more exciting and fulfilling way to use my life...}

And then when djtp dropped me off at work this morning, I bumped into my uncle Terry, who will be laying paving stones outside my library all week, so I can have cuppas with him in his wagon! He said he might even put the spinning orange light on.

Are they the big slabs of stone (flagstones) or these pesky modern blocks?
I was only thinking the other day how pavements have changed. Most of the flagged paths seem to have been tarmaced over.
Can he do bacon sarnies in his waggon too?
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Mon 24 May 2010, 10:24, Reply)

big slabs and a bit of intricate ramping
We have a good cafe for bacon sarnies.
Tarmac is a swearword with me and Our Terry. It breaks his heart when he sees a good job that he's done, Tarmac'd over a year later because it's been damaged by cars and nobody's wanted to fix it properly.
