I woke up this morning...
...and wandered downstairs to see the wonderful sight of little green light green light on our coffee machine telling me it was ready to rock.
I selected my capsule - strength eight - popped it in. I went next to froth my milk - forgive the expression - and there in front of me, between me and the frothing canister, was "a new accessory" and don't we all love a NEW and UNEXPECTED accessory???
My wife had ordered it and it arrived yesterday - a glass chocolate shaker. It's only a small thing, but it represents so much potential joy.
I love a good bit of accessorising - what say you ?

CLP, were there 2 green lights, green lights?
I love a coffee but I absolutely hate when they put that frothy stuff on the top, I just spoon it right back off again, I know that's what most people love but I can't stand it.
Have a good day everyone,

Thanks for the huggles, and "where are yous". Just having a few ickle probs at work at the mo, which lead to a sleepless night (reading Ben Elton at 1.30 am on the sofa is NOT a good thing, trust me!) (although it's a brill book!). Also hard to get on here during the day depending on who's in and who's out of the office, and evenings are just crammed at the mo (hence Nic's absinthe too).
I'm fine, and will survive. Sometimes I can be my own worst enemy and despite the promise to myself not to get too invlved with work, I do it every time. It's hard to keep focus that I am not an office manaher anymore, that I am earning way below what I am worth and have so much more to give. Luckily, it's just a job and I have a wonderful man who loves me, and my health, and a good collection of Duran Duran 12" vinyl to my name.
Accessories: love 'em with a passion as my shoe/handbag/junk jewellery collection will testify. Also adore kitchen gadgets and yearn for a coffee machine of my own one day, and yes, I too will strive for a chocolate shaker. I'd like one of those ones that looks like a dog - you know the one I mean. In red or black.

Nothing better than wandering round the kitchen gadget departments in the big stores. Often google Lakeland and have a nose. Note to self, must get out more! Been banned from buying anything until I use some of the stuff at the back of the cupboard, which has never seen the light of day. It always creates too much cleaning!
MC, I also chuckled about the bum tanning (maybe I should rephrase that!) this morning. I was laughing at the team laughing, really funny! Somehow doubt it was CLP, as we saw him and his family at VetFest at 3.30pm in Godalming!

More to the point, however, the content of today's blog seems to confirm my view that you are merely going through the motions.
This was also the case when you were at the same stage with your last book.
It may be that you have expended all your creative juices on the book and have nothing left for the blog or that you are spreading yourself too thinly on account of all your other commitments.

Bingo - Any dream involving Des must be a strange one!

Bingo - not sure I can cope with details of dreams about Des OC after another night of not a lot of sleepery.
Andy - sanger ingredients all sorted. Just got to make them tonight, and hope that my lovely man doesn't mind chewing on cling film .....! Needless to say, everything I bought for the picnic is very unhealthy, but hells bells, if I'm going to be sitting in the rain for gawd knows how long, I want Smarties and Jammy Dodgers!
I might wear my wellies actually. Christen them before V in a couple of weekends' time.
Hey, not saying I'm tired or owt, but how often do you spell your own name wrong at the end of an email!?!?

Have been AWOL for some considerable time now due to working in a busy open plan office but have now got meself a new, permanent job and have my own pad - woo hoo! So, work permitting, I can now blog again - hurrah.
I've been lurking whenever possible and there is always so much going on with t'blog - some good, some bad - but it never fails to either cheer or move me.
It's the summer hols here on campus so it's student-free and blissful - until September anyway!
Hope to be able to pop in again soon.

AliB, i did hear the story about your brekkie, but didnt hear the name mentioned . Two minutes ago, one of my colleagues appeared and brought in a bag of home grown courgettes, so, i may be tempted to try them.
Hazel, hello hunny xx
Jollyg, hello to youuuu .
Deev, hope you are not worrying still. Let me do that , I am the worlds biggest worrier, i worry that i dont have anything to worry about sometimes .
Right, off to attack the grapes, just under a kg to go.

Mind you, the funfair has only just left the green opposite us - very noisy with the booming music and kids' screams, but good fun watching the world and its wife every night!!
TFI Friday tomorrow - it's been a long week after two weeks' holibobs and I'm struggling ...

If ti was then hope we didnt make too much noise, although I do tend to giggle like a girl on the dodgems !!!!!
Can't belive the prices of fun fairs these days. They used to be cheap family entertainment, now its more like Disney.... (wihout the mouse)
Bingo and Des O'Connor ????? the mind boggles

They're a lovely bunch of people and they've been very welcoming. So, fingers crawst it all works out OK.
Have a lovely weekend yourself.

I know what you mean about the cost - it was £2 per ride so with a couple of ankle-biters, that's a lot of money spent even before you start to think about fish 'n chips and candy floss.
Not sure if you knew but they usually reduce all the rides to £1 on the last Saturday, except for the dodgems which are £1.50 - so that might help next time.
Now all we can see is the poor grass with yellow squares and circles imprinted on it where the rides were. Mind you, did you see the caravans the funfair workers live in - blimmin' huge and luxurious they are.
