dear jamie oliver, please note that the rather nice chicken in a parcel recipe requires the chicken to be cooked for rather longer than 40 minutes otherwise you have to yank the chicken off your guests plates, microwave it til it's as rubbery as a toy from the chicken run set and fret all evening about salmonella. other than that, pukka! ;)

spent the evening with the lovely A&J, quaffing free wine and loudly discussing the finer things of life. sorry, the one line approach to my blog will have to be waived for this entry. some really memorable moments. A's sentence beginning: 'i only tell this to people i really like...' J's close range look that just made me laugh and smile and feel like a million dollars. A's gift that would mean little to anyone else but made me feel like i'd been given a diamond. J's parting gesture.
One of life's highlights.

i made my daily achievement too early today (cooking a really quite splendid apple crumble) and now i shall have to eke out the rest of the lonely day reading books, drinking coffee and thinking smugly about my colleagues at work.

eliot measured out his life in coffee spoons. he should have tried being a C21st female measuring out his (her?) life in grams of fat per 100g.

today i have achieved: not falling off a horse, omitting to reach a place of worship and failing to throw a piece of poor art work into the bin.
