Summer sports

I had cauliflower cheese after having a carvery at the Plymstock Inn yesterday- very nice too.

The meter man has just been and I'm waiting for the stairs and landing carpet to be measured.

Let's hope the carpet is no more or less than a meter then, or the meter man will be no help at all

Had a tooth out earlier. It had been giving me hellish toothache so I was glad to see the back of it. Unfortunately it took the dentist ages to prise it out, due to having a very long root apparently, and now the injections have worn off it feels like I've been hit with a hammer

It's ok - you can all relax now.

Just eating cauliflower cheese. With broccoli.

Black pudding, chutney and tomato sandwich. mmmmm

After trimming my neighbours bush hedge tomorrow, I have to go shopping.

Tesco keep throwing money off vouchers at me like they're going out of fashion. The latest is a £7 off when u spend £50.

I'm bored of Tesco. I vary my supermarkets, but Tesco, for some bizarre reason, seem to want to keep my custom so much that every time I use a voucher, they give me another bloody one.

I'm starting to resent them for giving me money off vouchers.

I think they know deep down, I'd rather go to Morrisons, and so are scuppering my plans every week by giving me the vouchers.

I'm starting to dread the receipt coming out, because I know, without fail, there'll be another f*cking voucher which means I have to go to Tesco next week to use it.

Bastards.

They're all doing it. If you spend £40 in Sainsburys you get a voucher for millions of nectar points innit when you spend £50 on your next shop (within seven days, usually).

It's the recession. All those psychologists who can't get jobs anywhere else.

My pig arrives tomorrow, so today I have to give its quarters a last check over, get the hay in and sprinkle the floor with sawdust. However the pig is as yet un named, in the past we have had Prescott, Francis and Gordon to name a few, anyone got any ideas? I should say that any Orwellian references are right out.

How about Stapleton?

Bacon

Hi GJ, whatever made you think of that name?

Pepsi, I thought Francis would cover the bacon angle.

I must confess that half this pig is mine and I chose it from the litter because it looks a bit like Nick Chadwick! I wanted a girl pig so I could call it Camilla Porker Pig. Any takers for Heaney or Ridsdale? Perhaps the hippo should have a poll.

I've just completed an experiment involving a chocolate fondue set (less the chocolate) and a half used candle. And a palette knife. It was fairly successful.

I would have done a second experiment called exploring the effects of eating the same thing two days running. Didn't have a cauliflower handy, though.

Do you have cauliflower cheese and Broccoli, or broccoli cheese? Just wondering like. If it's the first option, surely a vegetarian can think of a non tree-like vegetable to accompany cauliflower?

Ah. Tricky one, that.

Basically, in a nutshell, sometimes Sainsburys have a pack of cauliflower and broccoli florets for less than the price of a whole cauliflower. So sometimes I have cauliflower cheese, and sometimes I have cauliflower and broccoli cheese.

And sometimes, like today, I whip up a snazzy little tomato sauce and eat it with some pasta.

Had an excellent shared lunch with friends. I got half way through the fish curry before I registered it had been made with coconut milk - high in forbidden fats. Sat here waiting for it to hit......

It may not.

So it could be called Cheesey Trees to cover all bases?

celery, asparagus or leeks spring to mind. sometimes can get celery really cheap.

Celery is the food of the devil. But peas go well with cauliflower cheese.

Cheesy trees is a good name. Thank you.

If you like cheese
And you like trees ...

Got a dentist appointment today. And I need to go to the post office.

Not sure I can bear the excitement.

work

How busy have I been already today? By 8.30 I'd submitted my tax return and completed stage one of the switchover between winter and summer clothes.

Might need a nap soon.
