Condemned!

The skanky flats next to ours have been due to be knocked down for ages, but it looks like work will begin soon.

This looks very scary!

Jo and I had a naughty last evening together before she jetted off to Barhelona. We had chips at Jack McPhee's and it was fabulous!

Lee has VERY eclectic tastes in music, as this proves.

Lee, Enemy of the Mould

Lee, originally uploaded by mooosh.

We have had a problem with mould on our bedroom wall. Not any more! We donned the green gloves and skooshed the mould stuff on the walls this weekend, so hopefully it will not return and I will stop coughing.

Mmm! What a tasty meal it was. And the sum total of £23.50 for 4! Mucho cheapness. Well worth a visit!

Andrew translated some words in preparation for our trip to the Polish place on Friday. Click the photo to see the meanings.

Jo's London Eye

We are all thinking of things to do on our trip to London. Jo is studying hard in the manner of her old uni lecturer - with one bulging eye.

Tulips

I went to the doctors about my persistent cough.

She advised me to buy some flowers to look at instead of taking cough medicine.

Here they are!

Loose Ends Blanket

Nothing to do but knit my blanket

Citizen McChesney Party

Me? Tequila? With my reputation? Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

This was early hours of Saturday morning at Rebecca's party.

Christmas? Already?

Christmas? Already?, originally uploaded by mooosh.

But it's just been! Let's hope this is just an oversight from last year rather than pushing for this year!

Snooooow!

Snow last nite from my bedroom window. I LOVE snow, me.

I texted practically everyone to tell them of the great news, such was my excitement.

Screen Clean Baboon

Screen Clean Baboon, originally uploaded by mooosh.

This is my computer screen cleaner, which I rescued from my old desk at lunch time.

He is supposedly a baboon but looks a bit more like a highland cow with his face painted.

Jo gave him to me many moons ago.

And his arse.

Painted.

Healthy days are here again

My orange peel mountain after lunch today. It's about time I started trying to be a bit healthier.

Broken Needle

I have no idea how this happened.

It was in my bag and then I went to get it back out and it was broken. A clean snap. I have tried to mend it with tape, but it did not work. I managed to knit with the broken stump long enough to finish my piece, but sadly it really is unusable.

Pomigranant

6 pomigranants for a £1! What a bargain!

Plum Wine Dai Suki Desu!

The plum wine has arrived! 3 bottles of Takara Plum from the excellent www.mountfuji.co.uk arrived today on my desk. I have a great weekend ahead of me hopefully!

Mmm chocolate

Lee's latest culinary experiment. Chocolate pots which are crunchy on top and runny in the middle.... mmmmm

Yay! Calendar!

Calendar!, originally uploaded by mooosh.

mar-c kindly crafted me a new calendar to go over my old one from last year. I have something to count the days down til my release now!

I got the original on my first trip to Bangkok in the amazing Zen department store which has the finest selection of Hello Kitty things one could ever hope for.

Sadly on my last visit there, the shop was closed for renovations and I couldn't find them anywhere else.

Is This For Roll?

Roll?, originally uploaded by mooosh.

Undoubtedly the sorriest excuse for a roll I've seen in a long time.

The Kelvin Cafe in the West of Scotland Science Park is undoubtedly the worst cafe in Glasgow. And the owner, Gillian is the most sour-faced bitch I've ever had the misfortune not to spit on :)

I was running late today and didn't have time to bring lunch to work, so had to make my first visit to the cafe for many a moon. This is what I came back with.

I will never forget lunch again.

Yer Tea's Oot Leonard

This is what I have been working on, craft-wise, lately. Leonard is made from a pair of Jo's holey socks which date back as far as her school days, I am told (that's a lonnng time, fact lovers).

He will hopefully be the first of many sock monkeys to be churned out by yours truly.

Carpet of Needles

We took our Crimbo tree down on Sunday, a day late (oooh, get us). Instead of the more logical through the window route, we went for the more traditional down the stairs, as much mess as possible route.

The result? Utter carnage. Archie truly got the last laugh - it took 3 emptyings of the Dyson to hoover up his lost needles and then it fell on top of me and hurt my back.

Next year, we'll have an artificial tree - or adopt Islam.

Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam

No one knows just how important my job really is.

New Diary!

Jo made me a new diary! It's got lovely geisha dolls on the front of it, with a very handy green thread with a ladybird bead on the end to help me keep track of what day I am on. Let's face it, I need all the help I can get.

Coughtastic

My cough just won't go away. I have bought this bumper bottle of Covonia. I am tempted to drink it all at once and see if that works.

Lucky Lucky

My new lucky cat. I hope he works.

Buttons

These buttons arrived from New Jersey on my desk today as part of a swap parcel from Tracy there. They will come in very handy for Reject eyes!

Kopek Kreta

This is a Polish cake - in English - molehill cake because ... it looks like a molehill.

It's chocolate sponge filled with cream and a layer of banana in the bottom - it's looovely!

It was handmade by my almost sister in law Aleks and consumed by us all on new year's day after my homemade steak pie. yum!
