Vegetarian banquet at Golden Lion, Lancaster

NOT enjoying the last, normally calm, last half hour of my working day.

It's no good, I'm cracking... Have to reheat the pizza right now... #hunger

I hate half-term. The streets are full of screaming kids and all my friends are on holiday, probably still in bed. Bastards.

I've tried cheese savoury for the last time. Feel queasy. I have the face the fact that I hate it.

Sunday, October 25, 2009

My oh my, how rough we feel today. Anyway, sleep is overrated. Hoping that a roast at the white cross will help...

Some days you just need to make a shit-load of bajis

Ralph is collating all the first-orgasm stories he was told last night.

Ralph, is technically awake.

Friday, October 23, 2009

Aha, home, bless you...

Countdown to party... Now the question is, as I feel rough as a badger's arse, do I pre-party-prep by A: Sleeping, or B: Drinking beer?

It's time for Radio Darvish. Yes, it's the kind of day where traditional Persian music is just what is required.

Hot cat in box

Now, if I can just stay busy for long enough perhaps I can pretend that I'm not hungover.

Got that Friday feeling :( shame it's Thursday then...

Now feeling rather sick after eating too much bombay mix. Must be the E621, E160c, E100, E102, E110 and E330... *sigh*

Eating a bowlful of spicy balti bombay mix to help me focus...

For some people flawed is perfectly acceptable. They seem very happy. If this is ideal, then perhaps I'm flawed.

Stuck inside for lunch today waiting for British Gas - "Any time between 12 and 6" - wtf? How vague is that?

Wish *I* was drinking a mojito right now, like some I could mention :( *sigh*

Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Personally, I think that a nice, ice-cold bottle of lager would make the last 30 mins or so of the working day just that little bit better.

Urgh, hungry again, the desire for curry is strong... very strong...

Now that's just not funny - where the hell did the weekend go?

Friday, October 16, 2009

Off to buy some weekend beer.

Feeling the power of css coursing through my veins. Just a shame that css isn't a funky designer drug.

Lovely day in Lancaster... Shame that someone has let their dog shit just outside my door. Dog turds can really take the shine off your day.

#lancaster gone forever has the golden glow that walked me home, replaced by sterile leds. ..

Fried halumi, hummus, salad and chilli wrap for lunch

Foggy day in Lancaster

Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Now to start the next batch of sloe gin... xmas will be hazy this year...

Off to buy some litres of gin.

I seem to have forgotten how to sleep. Third day now of simply lying there, awake in the dark. Feel more Zombie-like with each passing hour.

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

under the duvet on the sofa feeling ill and sorry for myself

Just had a gift of sloes... I feel a few more litres of gin coming on...

Wife ill all night long. Morning, my stomach does a wobbly back-flip... Oh dear... Hopefully just toast-desire.

happy cat in square of autumn sun on the bed

INT. DIMLY LIT, CHILLY ROOM. Web designer can be seen hunched over a keyboard, muttering to himself. A cup - I ♥ NY - stands empty and cold.

Another tough Monday looms - cough, cold, no sleep...

Sunday, October 11, 2009

hoping for rain so I can stop thinking that I should get out and do something wholesome

Friday, October 09, 2009

Doesn't feel too clever today...

Thursday, October 08, 2009

And the wife leaves for London in a vague swoosh of intensity...

A cat, in a curtain, does not help productivity...

Food at the whitewell inn today, what a great pub!

Afternoon off ftw, heading for a pub lunch in a sleepy, leafy, quaint village, then a walk in the hills. Enjoy your afternoons.

Just corrected something terrible, but luckily, no one else had noticed...

Tuesday, October 06, 2009

Baked mushroom, potato, spinach and cheese in a white-wine and cream sauce for lunch... Soooo rich and fattening - feels good.

Cat flap was damaged during night. Now the it gently wafts opens with the slightest breeze, sending a chilly wind through the house...

This day is off to a horrible start....

photo taken with a combo of binoculars and my phone of suspicious people at the end of street!

Almost time for spicy tofu Thai Yellow Curry with rice...

Not entirely sure that I'm actually enjoying Monday morning.

Saturday, October 03, 2009


Cocktails with the girls...

Heart stopping butter fried rosti with melted cheese and fried egg for breakfast...

Friday, October 02, 2009

It's the weekend, excuse me while I slip into something more comfortable...

Just taken delivery of 12 bags of coal, 10 bags of wood... Winter is here, it seems...

Lancaster pigeons have learnt a new trick: hovering before you, hummingbird-like, trying to peck your pasty...

There's a party starting in 9 hours. Do you think it's too soon to start drinking?

Thursday, October 01, 2009

Bored of the train now. The fake, jolly, blitz spirit of the overcrowded train has long since faded and been replaced by empty-eyed despair.

Full of veggie sausage and mash. And peas. I overcame my natural, deep-seated fear of peas and ate a handful of the horrible things.

Beautiful, sunny day in London
