It was my birthday last week and the two leading ladies of my life, Mum & Caroline both made me a cake. I'm still feeling pretty smug.
Mum made me a classic chocolate cake with cream filling. Very chocolately, very creamy, very 'mum' and very damn good.
Caroline tried a little fruity number (still talking about the cake here), a Strawberry cheese cake with masses of fresh strawberries sitting on a bed of creamy goodness, nestling in a delicious crumbly base with white chocolate chunks in - delicious.
Needless to say, both cakes were absolutely amazing. It was the first time I'd had two slices of cake for breakfast ever. I was ready for a kip by 10am that morning...
Last time I was at my Mums house, she showed me a rather nice old sign making kit for shopkeepers, before the days of glossy point of sale stands or computer printed shelf pricing. A more innocent time when shopkeepers had to make their own signs for these sorts of things. It comes complete with classic vintage clip art, like the pointing finger. Fantastic.
Well, it's on eBay now, so if you're interested check it out.
Just a quick photo from near Beachy Head, whilst out in Eastbourne this afternoon. Quite a nice day all in all, the sun was appreciated.
It's snowing! We might event get snowed in and not be able to walk up the hill to work tomorrow! Anyway, these are the best photos I could get without actually venturing outside of the centrally-heated 'safety zone'. I might actually get some decent photos later...
Just got back home after a rather boozy night in the pub, third night running, ahem. Just as Caroline and I were entering our house we glanced up the road to see a guy being set upon by two ‘emo’ kids. They were viscious, with punching, forcing him to the ground, and then kicking - even stamping on his head. I ran over, along with another chap (who as a bit bigger than me, rather reassuringly), the guy was rolling around on the floor in pain with a fair amount of blood pouring from his face. The two emo kids (actually about 19 years old), were not hanging around, one stayed and mumbled something before heading off. I was on the phone to the ambulance immediately, the poor guy, by now was standing up and very emotional about the situation, at one point I thought he had it in for me but he slowly calmed down. The ambulance was pretty quick and the police turned up a moment later. I was impressed with the number of members of the public who stopped to help - 3 or 4 people were witnesses and a genuine assistance.
I was a big annoyed at my initial reaction though, for a split second I saw emo kids and thought they’re “passive”, assuming the fighting to be playing around. But they weren’t, they were just a couple of aggresive young boys who attacked a (to the best of my knowledge) perfectly innocent Australian guy who’d only been in England for a week.
Stereotypes rather obviously never do anyone any favours. Emo bastards.
After some serious SingStar loving, and then later some slightly more serious SingStar hating, I’ve now returned to the SingStar loving camp.
I’ve been given a mention on the Official SingStar newsletter!
I like to think I’ve dug a little hole for myself in the SingStar online Community, so I’m pleased to see that my videos have been recognised by the official SingStar team.
Still - I’m looking forward to improvements. The SingStore is still lacking in updates, the ratings system doesn’t work most the time and I have not been able to post a comment successfully since before Christmas… But thanks guys ;)
This is just to let the world know that I went out and got an iPhone last week.
Despite saying I wouldn’t get one, and despite lots of voices in my head shouting “Don’t do it! Your current phone does all those things anyway!”. I still went and got one. Sorry Orange, you did nothing wrong.
I love it though.
