Crimble Prep Continues

Following the recharge period in the centre of town I return to the task of recording records. Now I ain't the tallest person on the planet and in order to reach a box of dental records (nothing exciting just stuff about dental training) I have to grab the nearest thing to a kickstep in the room. It's a flight case that out of idle curiousity I open and discover I've been standing on a latex or similar material, female torso. Freaky. Probably not the wisest move in terms of health and safety.

Return to Liverpool, a quick flit into the No Mercy en route to home. Fetch a ham and dismembered bit of Turkey for Christmas Eve and the visit of Alan and his new significant other. Monst has a shopping list waiting for me at home and off I head to Morrisons and Sainsbury's to fetch the food for Christmas and the main shop for January. Come across Lemon and Lime Jaffa Cakes. It's just so wrong it's right.

New Boots and Panties..... and Blogger

Transfer to the new version of Blogger today. Unsurprisingly with just under 4,500 posts, it takes a little while to complete. Mightily relieved when it does though.

A day that begins badly because poor Callum is sick. General winter bug going around, vomit one end, diarrhoea the other. I head to work before it gets too hairy. Sort news before I go and change plan, instead of the Land of Manc I head to Reggie.

Complete some searches, deal with some FoI issues.

Call to head home at lunch time to bring chicken soup. Follows a conversation about the Liverpool Cheese Company so is an excuse to bring back cheese to work. Tracy has the crisp bread, I fetch in a few grapes. Cheese choice is Baltic a Northumbrian cheese washed in Summer Beer from the Baltic Fleet just down the road from Reggie, and some Danbo Carraway. A library munch then. Typically Gareth arrives in time for a sliver of the Baltic!

Home via the curry house because Cal has thrown post soup and is therefore avoiding food, all the more for Monst and myself.

Mental Images

I've never been to the Madejski Stadium (I have been past it though) so in my head as I listened to the 4-0 drubbing of Reading today, I see Elm Park (the place I saw my fist pro match, back in the days when Reading weren't Royals but were Biscuitmen). I know this is stoopid but there you have it I am. Some time I'll have to go inside the Madejski but I'm quite content with my current mental image, OK the ground was far from posh but it lives in my head. Mind you I have the same problem with the Emirates right now, my mental image remains Highbury, daft or what!

Day has been dull, scoot Cal's duffle coat to the cleaners. Cook - the advantage of being on my tod is I cook properly, have time to cook so I'm eating small portions of meat and large portions of veg. Good stuff, baked spuds for lunch with prawns, pork pad thai for dinner. I even reach for the 'Two Fat Ladies' cookbook and bake their evil choc cake for a weeks worth of nice pud (it's incredibly rich and needs to be eaten in small portions).

News comes from India. They've celebrated Diwali with fireworks, Cal has been riding a camel by himself (Monst got off hers apparently having hit the panic button). A rug has been bought along with some silver jewellry. They had a vegetarian meal (I'd loved to have been a fly on the wall for that one) but by and large the food has been good. A good train journy by the sound of it too.

Lazybones

A day of laziness, furl and format the news but apart from that do bugger all except tidy the kitchen. The height of energy expenditure will be taking Monst to work. Cal has been playing the 'Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe' game on his Playstation and is struggling with Ogres. He gets upset when they kill him but I kinda like the ogres so I'm rooting for them. Other than that just the delight of listening to Arsenal demolishing Middlesbrough and as this followed Manure's loss at Citeh a good football day all round. Feed the family and drag Monst to work before planning milk pudding cooking sesh to reduce a major milk glut that has developed over the week. Technorati Tags: Laziness; Furl; Milk; Food; Football
