Had Kashmiri Dum Mutton for dinner last night.
Commonly known as plain rice, creamy buttery sauce and knee of goat. Using a power saw I managed to cleft a smidge of meat from the knee. Iona tried it and had a coughing and choking fit before mumbling “….cartilage…”.
Went elsewhere and had pizza…
I was passing through SCATS stores the other day and discovered that they stocked Thor’s Hammer. Handy!
Hail Jul,
many thanks for the books – got them in two packs. I’ll be reading them as soon as I’ve finished the latest – ‘do not disturb’ by debbie bagshaw -a gripping read, possibly modeled on ‘only a factory girls’ ! All good here. two new puskies in residence – Geoff softened right up when he actually saw them 
fitting in nicely and don’t seem to mind a spot of mangling. hope all good out there. Have you painted the statue yet?
from the guradian this morning….
“Question: How does the post office make sure that 2nd class post arrives a day after 1st class
Answer: On sorting, 2nd class post is sorted into a separate pile. The previous days 2nd class post is added to todays 1st class post and sent out for delivery. Meanwhile todays 2nd class post waits for tomorrows 1st class post before being allowed out of the sorting office.
The cost of this addition sorting is borne by the extra cost we pay for 1st class stamps.”
Sheesh.
Started work on the raised vegetable beds this evening. Hard work!
Cheers for the great present Liv and Han – they fit fine, and will be perfect for the summer. The nurds were pretty tasty!! Hope all good with the new house. Crips prezzie is lost in the post (as per usual!) – is yours Jul!!? Glad the parcel got there -can’t believe it was broken though. I packaged that up in a much bigger box than was needed, and at great personal expense, crammed it with your shorts and some saucisson for extra padding – festering posties :/ Send me a pic when it’s painted.
Thank you for the letter mama! It was nice reading! Mayumi says hello!
Just starting to think about all the stuff I’ll need when I go to India in a couple of weeks. Passport, tickets and Iona… the rest not so vital I suppose…
Financial Times: Do you want to start by paying tribute to Michael Jackson, Peter? Everyone else seems to be doing that.
Peter Mandelson: I’m not absolutely sure who Michael Jackson is.
my packet just arrived! thanks Tan! we are really enjoying the saucisson, so cheers very much for the resupply. the statuette made it almost in one piece. there is a clean break at the neck wich should be easy to glue. i think Mayumi has some paints, but im still not sure what colour as yet. ill show it to her when she gets home tonight!
happy birthday tan! prezzy is in the post!
