Any chance of the sorbet recipe RosieH? Sounds fab! D'you need an ice-cream maker?

A window seat on the upper deck of a bus. Especially on the left-hand side.

Except if it's the front seat, then right-hand window applies.

It almost makes up for the c@ntbollockses shouting on their portable phones.

Most nearly.

This is the one I use. You don't need an ice cream maker - just take it out of the freezer every so often and break up the ice crystals - however I've just bought a machine and made it in that for the first time. Soooooooo easy (but doesn't taste any better, so go for it)

Oh well done ruffers! I hope you like it.


Big "good luck" hug to you. x

Waking up early on a day when you're not working and taking a few seconds to realise that you have liberty, then making strong tea in your enamel mug, going back to bed and dipping into that book of Evelyn Waugh's letters that you haven't got round to reading.

Or old copies of Viz, that works too.

Wow a double rainbow - how wonderful!


I have joy, but it's not really irrational. I resigned yesterday from a job I've been moaning about for 2 years 8 months and 3 days. YAY


Anyone else experience joy recently?

Despite being dog-tired and not quite with-it in general, I spent a very pleasant Wednesday evening in North London with some good people, watching some bands, spotting some vivid rainbows and thinking ?I love living in London ? and I don?t even mind the 63 home on a cold August night?

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
