Woo hoo! It arrived finally. First impressions:
And much, much more...
It was the first time I'd cooked a stew. It ended up cooking for 3 hours in the end, by far the longest cooking thing I've ever done. It went really thick in the last half hour and was much better for it, I'm sure. The beef was delicious. A slightly different taste from the steak and mince I've bought before. Ooh, that reminds me, there's a pound and a half of mince in the freezer as well. God bless those organic rearing vertical farmers.
Stuff's been going on, I just haven't been blogging.
I spent 35 hours on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday writing a specification. It came to 30+ pages. At one point it had me totally curled up with stress. Louise gave me Bach's Rescue Remedy, which managed to unknot me enough so that I could finish.
The Powerbook was nearly delivered on Thursday, but they couldn't get in. The removal of the sticky may have been to blame. Grrr. I could have gone and got it yesterday morning, but nobody answered the phone and I didn't know the address. It will come tomorrow. Joy.
Instead, Louise and I went to a farmer's market in a car park in Notting Hill. It was pretty cool. All the food looked great and everybody was really friendly. We bought a bunch of stuff, including goose eggs, which were immense. I bought some braising steak, which I'm currently stewing. Man, it smells fantastic. I bought some black radishes which are going in as well. There's also some potatoes, carrots, shallots and some of the Thyme I've been growing in there.
I've chilled a lot this weekend. I really wanted to kick back. I've got to do some work now, but that's OK. I read the last issue of Wired which contains some really interesting stuff about concepts of space: network space, dump space, blog space, sex space, 30 spaces in total.
Also, Louise and I went to Kensington today and looked at furniture in a wonderfully couply way (2 years and counting :-). I saw a cool soft cube for £30 that I could sit on the balcony on. Also, desk bits in Habitat. I'm thinking of building a desk out of some leg bits and a chunk of glass. I want to move into the front room because at the moment I sit in a hall with no windows, whilst the sun shines in the next room. Plus I sit in a different room from my speakers. Ack! Anyway, a plan is germinating.
Oh yeah, last night I saw Seven for the first time! Sorry everyone. I won't do a review, 'cos everybody's seen it. Suffice to say I really enjoyed it.
I live in a gated courtyard and the communicator thing from the gate to our flat is broken. I was expecting a delivery so I put a sticky next to the gate with my phone number on it so that the delivery guy could ring me and get in. Somebody removed it! Why? What on earth for? I would have removed it afterwards. Now I might have missed my package. It was my laptop, which I really really want. I just can't understand why anyone would do such a thing. Not even kids out to annoy me would do that, it's too subtly devious for them. Ack!
