It is amazing what you can find on the internets. Perhaps this is something I should consider to while away during my convalescence: Butter Sculptures. Yep, still ill, feeling so yucky today that I can’t even get out of bed but will force myself in an hour or two so I can bathe and try [...]
Well, I did expect to have a rest over the break but this is silly. I feel even worse today than I did yesterday and kept pao awake most of the night with my coughing and wheezing. Eventually I went and coughed and wheezed in the land of spare oom as I felt horribly guilty [...]
Send flowers (red ones, no lilies, they make me sneeze). I like roses and freesia and carnations. Purple if they haven’t got red, please. I paid a visit to Dr Eagle-Eyes (no, it’s true, he really does look like he has eagle eyes especially with those thick black rectangular frames he wears) and it is [...]
I’m mean old mrspao. I made Jasper stay in last night as I knew it might freeze over in the night and Merlin tends to guard the catflap so he can’t come back in. I woke up to find that he was sitting on my chest – he is a heavy boy and boy, did [...]

pao and I went to the Community Carol Concert outside BHS tonight which was really excellent and very busy. I was a bit surprised to see that the ABC had turned up!
At last, I have been able to get the pastry out and mincemeat I bought from the St Mildred’s Fair weeks ago and produce these babies. Careful application of brandy butter will be required.
Gorgeous boy has been with us five whole years today. Five years ago today, I first spied him lounging in Sainsburys’ foyer thin, tired, and hungry desperately trying to keep warm under the heater. A Sainsburys’ employee was standing over him trying to work out how to pick him up to evict him. I scooped [...]
