It's raining outside.
Pissing on their party?
Will it keep the fireworks away?

Have decided to go with the dark chocolate containing grapefruit juice and crystalised grapefruit pieces. luxury

Right then! Supper to prepare! Puy lentils in Swiss stock with very lightly cooked sliced and chopped celeriac cooking in salted butter.

Crap! Just remembered I forgot to buy the LED lightbulb earlier. No matter. iwillsurvive

Thinking of popping a bag over it unless it goes out soon.

Neighbour across the road has an old-skool impossibly bright lightbulb in a clear fancy lamp shining right into my bedroom.

Right, this realbread isn't going to make itself. A nice tasty wholemeal will do the job I think. *weighs out flour*

What's all this shop shutting early on a Saturday stuff? I thought this was Osborne's land of profit above all else? Something not right!

Typical of the Tories - Lansley only agreed to another check of the breast implants when a 'private' company's data could be wrong.

Trip to the recycling centre today, buy a new cabinet for the living room radiator and more house clearing today. whatfun

Cat is confused. It's like a playground of videos, boxes and old cables in the living room which she feels obliged to sniff and climb over.

I have lit a smelly incense stick. I am now floating on a cloud. ommmmmm

My living room looks like bomb has hit it. There are boxes and things and stuff and gubbins all over. houseclean

About to start clearing out the cupboard to Narnia.
I may be some time.

Is it just me or does the voice of Barbara Windsor simple grate like nails down a blackboard.

I do like the Bourne films but what does the camera man always have the shakes? Too much booze a directors rule?

Lots of home-made delicious curry left over from last night. Well it seems a shame to waste it. nomnomnom

Communists in Moscow critising govt for taking power without popular support. Now there's historical irony!

Loving the baby Dyson. Cat is not afraid of it either. She sits and watches unlike the big one where she runs upon sight.

Although this 19th century victorian crap can bugger right off. christmasaroundeurope radio3

I need to go to the shops.
A baby Animal Dyson with my name on is waiting for me.
How cute. :-)

Ah....Mediaeval Baltic music from Finland. Lovely. christmasaroundeurope radio3

Ooo...nightmare before xmas is on the tellybox. May need to sneak a peak via tvcatchup :-)

Blimey! Why is it so cold right now? Going to need some more alcohol to warm up.

Braised tofu, peppers, onion, corgettes and made-in-india-curry-paste with fresh corriander and basmatti rice for supper. Oh and beer too!

It is time for some food. I may make myself a curry. nomnomnom

Note: Xmas is not about expecting presents. They have no monetary value and if you only give to get you're missing the point!

Xmas greed is upon us again. Girls in shop complaining they spent so much on a gift but the one they are expecting is not of equal value.

Cat has made a cave from sofa cushions and burrowed herself within. There is only a sleepy head visible :-)

I am cooking mashed potatoes with sauerkraut and vegetarian frankfurters to go with the rye bread :-) nomnomnom

I have whisky.
I am still unhappy though.
Depressed but getting there.

It's interesting to hear so many apologists for the Iraq war justifying the invasion and violence that followed. Odd people.

I am heading to bed for an early night. Feeling blue and tired.

The Saint is on radio4extra. It's full of daring do!

I am ordering beer online. I find the process less than enjoyable. I would rather be drinking it.

Just installed the new Tweetdeck. Not bad app but no way to resize columns. Come on Twitter. All that money and you can't engineer resize?

I am feeling sad. justsaying

My feet are cold. Why only my feet?

I am listening to the Beethoven music on radio3. I am feeling calmer. Still need cuddles though. :-/

I am hungry. I may cook some pasta. My diet has taken a knock in the past few days. I may contribute to the kilos with carbohydrates :-)

My living room still looks like a small bomb has exploded within it however I am now tweeting from my new sofa complete with new throws :-)

Poor badgers to die to help farmers bank balances. Anonymous "scientists" making decisions? Put up the evidence in public! Poor things :-(

It has been rain, snow, rain, snow, rain all day.
I am now heading to the shop.
I am expecting to get wet.
I am sad.

Have spent the day building a sofa, clearing out living room and tidying. Not complete yet but taking a well earned coffee break. :-) nocake

Too early for whisky?

I need to go to the shops to buy some yeast. Suddenly the storm isn't as much fun. :-(

Another hail storm just begun! Cat has run away under the bed. She's had enough.

Two giant hail storms earlier leaving large piles of ice in places looking like salt mountains. Now thunder and lightening. Cool!

Off to get the soundtrack to the book by Real Tuesday Weld. An unappreciated group. :-)

Bit more house tidy to do. Going for a Laura Marling afternoon of music. Lining up the three albums to enjoy :-)

Downloading the new White Denim album. Two in one year. Feeling chuffed :-)

I am making a half-hearted attempt to clean my home. The problem is too many things in the living room :-(

Ha! Cameron in a right pickle now with new EU treaty & his stupid referundum demanding 19th century thinking little islanders in his party.

Someone's playing 'Snowplay' on their phone loudly. Very annoying.

It is my birthday next week. I am expecting cake, sweets, music and naked dancing girls. I am also expecting to be disappointed.

But there again, weirdos do the same with Lennon's Happy Xmas (War is Over). I dislike Xmas songs! bahhumbug

Nena's 99 red balloons being played as Xmas song today. Balloons do not make it festive, especially as it's an anti-war song.

It's been an odd day today. Supposed to be December however people walking around in t-shirts and few with coats. screweduptheplanet

I have fruitcake. This is not a reflection on my personaility. However I do like fruitcake. :-)

Off out for a bit. T-shirt weather outside. Fab! Who'd know it was November out there? People in t-shirts last night too.

Heading to B&Q in a while. Shelf in kitchen dipping down but unable to remove it. Going to look for uber strength glue or cement. diyday

I am home. Drunks pissing on the bus, f'ing every other word always helps me remember how much I hate the late one back.

Time to sleep. tiredmarky

Really wish Osborne would learn to shut his mouth. Each time he says anything stocks, shares and markets tumble. :-(

I am going to get a cup of coffee.

All those parties and sex scandals couldn't remove Berlusconi but the bastard bankers did. irony

Papandreou addressing the nation now. He looks fairly calm considering he's just lost his job.

Gas man completed his stuff. Now need to sort out the rest of the untidy house.

Crap day at work. Internal changes have cost me much of my role. Time to see another with some greater desire.

I have some Perogi and smetanya! Bloody great! :-)

The boiled eggs have made me feel a little better. Coffee is the next prescription. :-)

I have boiled chicken eggs for breakfast. One white, one brown.

My head hurts.

I enjoy a good nightclub as much as the next man but out of context cheap dance crap is just so crap. It's just noise and octave changes.

Why is it when people play their music very loud it's always the shit dance stuff with a boom boom boom bass?

The music is now very loud. I am very weary. I think I may just collapse where I am.

Neighbours are playing some very bad rave music. It'sgiving me a headache. boomboomboom

Time to start making some dinner/supper/whatever. Curry time!

Cat's home!!!! safeandwarm

SHUT UP!!!!!!! fireworks

Why do we need these sodding fireworks anyway?

Interesting to learn we pick our festivals based on death.

Having just got over one celebration of the undead we now have one to celebrate the institutional torture and murder of a failed assassin.

May have to kick out some tunes on radiomarky tonight. Lining up the digital decks.

I think I will make a curry. However I will wait until Cat comes home to calm my nerves.

Home too late to get Cat inside. She's outside while the nutters set off fireworks into the sky for a celebration they do not understand.

Enjoying breakfast. Not enjoying news. :-/

I hear it's all happening down in Bridgwater this evening. Carnival, wall and road collapses into the river and pileup with fires on mway.

Time to quaff a few ales and torture a few old songs I think with some terrible singing. :-)

Rocking with Johnny Cash now! LOL! There's a alternative music style! 6music

Ride of the Valkeries music on 6music is certainly a change!

I now have dark chocolate with sea salt and lime. I am happy.

Supper is almost ready. Puy lentils with green beans and pumpkin cubes with side salad of roasted peppers and leaves. nomnomnom

I am being whacked over and over by a spooky cat tail. Only so many more I will accept.

Just downloaded Noel Gallagher's new album. That's today sorted then. :-)

Having some of @judypayne's plum chutney for supper with some salad :-)

I have just realised I have no milk for the Horlicks I had planned for later. I haven't actually bought any milk for months.

I have a plate of purple broccali with sea salt, butter and fresh bread. :-)

I am thinking this evening could be a curry evening. I have some squash and corriander. Hmm... supper

itunes tells me there is 13GB of 'Other' on my ipad. What is this mysterious 'Other' and why is it so large? curious

I am home. Cat is missing. Is she out partying with other cats? Is she waving her glow sticks as cat like beats hit the air somewhere?

Crikey! Only just woken up! Not good. Not good at all.

It is time for sleep. Friday you have been good. I must confess there have been better Fridays and you're not in the top 100 but it's okay.

Not sure what to think about the WooWoos. They are very sexy, sing well but I think a few more songs to get a better idea.

To bed now. Cat already asleep. Can I reach dreamland as fast as she did?

Sleeping well but still so bloody tired. Need to get some morning dancing in.

Time for bed. Time to read a little. Dostoyevsky's House of the Dead. Happy Days! :-)

Hey Cameron! Marking people as undesirables eh? That's new! Shall we go paint stars on thier windows and make them scrub the roads?

the @mailonline dailyfail crowd must be lapping it up. They love all this fake news crap! :-)

When the economy goes bad, the govt is wrapped in sleeze and dailyfail myths are told to be fact at conf., let's blame it all on immigrants!

I have white chocolate with chili and ginger. Could this night get any better?

I need food. I think some pasta with green pesto, artichokes and broad beans on a plate of rocket and sun dried peppers and tomatoes.

There was some Chas and Dave, Three Degrees and Stevie Wonder. The music was not my choice but like a trooper I joined in.

I did try to get the crowd to sing along to Moscau by Rammstein but to no avail.

I am drunk, in my defence. The red ale was too good to leave at just one pint.

I have been to the pub. I sang loudly to Tom Jones, Johny Cash and Take That.

I have eaten. I am now thirsty. I will head to the pub. They have beer and people one can engage with in a more inhibited manner.

Groundhog Day is on television today. Hasn't that been on before? ;-)

Right! Time to get some cat food and marky food.

Has anyone any coffee going?

Thinking of a short break in either Tallinn or Riga. Who's up for it?

It's called a CD drive computer. It's for reading CDs. Please understand. Please be nice.

MacBook Pro is on the blink this evening. It's Jobs lifeline has been cut and it's unsure what it's supposed to do.

Think I'll do some window shopping today, lounge around in a cafe for a while and grab some lunch somewhere followed by home & evening beer.

Back home from a long day at work. Now cooking curry and will probably fall asleep in it face first.

Tis a lovely sunny day in the west! Wonder if a visit to the seaside is in order?

I feel the need for more food. Kitchen is a mess though and I am uncertain I can be arsed. Perhaps if I smash a Lindt chocolate bunny ?...

WebOS down. MeeGo down. Symbian down. The world of mobiles is becoming very much a two horse race sadly.

Downloading King Creosote's Diamond Mine. Missed this one previously. Just right for those blue moments :-/

Downloading the new album from the North Sea Radio Orchestra. It's been too long since the last one. Lovely vibes! :-)

Dreams are weird things. Brain trying to weave a narative around random images, but when did I take an interest in hill digging?

Tired this morning. Dreamed about being a special agent specialising in digging holes in hills from the top down for reasons I can't recall.

Damn. Just missed a new camera lens on eBay as I was looking the other way. Gits!

Cracked open a bottle of Badger beer's Hopping Hare. I love hares. They make great beers. :-)

This is pretty cool looking how society and language has changed http://ping.fm/1HXez

Time for bed. Sleepy tired like feeling upon me.
Night night planet Earth! Cat waves goodnight.

I am considering the purchase of new tunes from Apple's emporium of music. I am perusing the shelfs as an Edwardian schoolmaster.

The thermometer says it is 17 degrees. For the day this woud be cool. For the night it is hot. We are very fickle creatures.

It is hot. I will sleep from exhaustion later so this is irrelevant.

I have whisky. I had whisky last night. I am spoiling myself.

Puy lentils cooked in swiss vegetable stock with organic green beans and salad, served with a light rye and caraway bread. nomnomnom

Decided to skip the wine this evening.
I have whisky! :-)

Off topic: I need a 50mm LTM to M mount adapter for my camera. Any offers? whatriot?

Mushrooms rehydrating. Salad is waiting. Pasta and pesto to come. :-) Now then, red wine or red wine? Decisions decisions.

I need some grub. Going to the kitchen to make some pasta salad.

Popped into Tesco on the way home with bag full of food. Stopped on the way out by security guard and manager for 'rubbaging in my bag'.

These new earphones are an unexpected joy. Went looking for desired Etymotics HF-5 but bought Phonak Audéo instead. They are fab!

I am in the pub. There is free wifi and a juggler. More pubs should have circus acts except clowns. Clowns are just wrong. noclownsinpubs

A welcome cuddle from cat this evening.

Buying an aeroplane ticket, bus ticket and coach ticket. Getting all in alignment in both directions is a challenge worthy of Ceaser!

Oh bleeding no. Not Football filling up the airways again with its pretence of being oh so important. summerfreeoffootballisbetter

I'm hungry. Time for rye bread, cheeses and salted cucumber and tomatoes.

Now to hit the pillows. Sleepy eyes!

Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street :-)

Sleepy now. Time to hit the pillows..... zzzzzzz

just in time for the cheap russian soap opera. Angry people yelling and frowning - it's the universal language of all soaps.

I think I will make curry! The need for extra hot, extra spicy, extra silly heat level is great within me and needs satisfying.

It is Friday! I have a day off tomorrow. Isn't that exciting? Mmmm?

Loosing the two for one meal deal ticket is likely to be high on the hawkholiday disaster list @vickiblight teatowelclub

The chances of this day being rubbish are fairly even so far.

I am having two double whiskys. That ought to help! :-)

Bed time. Tired but so many problems running around my head unsure how much I will sleep. Wish I had some vodka!

Anyone have any recommendations for Kyiv? Places to go, things to see, etc.? Will have some spare time on my hands.

I appear to have overdone the sun. My head is now peeling. notagoodlook reachesforcream

What is this Antiques Master on bbc2? It's like some horrible dailymail inspired vision of entertainment for middle class frumps.

Oh go on then glass. Fill your brim with red vino and let me sup of your majesty in content happiness.

Oooo... hello....an unopened forgotten bottle of Portugese red. Lovely surprise for the pasta salad. wine

What happened to the summer? Is this a repeat of 3 years ago when we used it all up in the spring?

I feel the embyonic stages of a cold coming in. Not this close to the harbourfestival please no!

There's a cocert on Russian telly now. It's an oldie worldy style caberet. Much better! :-)

I am watching the entertainment from Moscow. It is distinquished by the fact that it is not in fact entertaining at all.

I have a spicy tomato and basil soup with my walnut bread. It is very scrumdidliumptious.

Time for food. Sugar levels too low. Begining to see things. Even this blue badger staring at me agrees.

The Italians really showed off. Briliant show with a certain foppish flip of the hair.

Still the British showed how good an airforce can be with sticky backed plastic and empty washing up liquid bottles.

Just reviewing some of yesterday's airshow photos. The Americans were brass and big, the Ukrainians undecided and the Swiss rather neutral.

Brooks and Coluston sat in front of a Parliamentry commitee and said they gave money to police, a crime for 100 years. Why not arrested then?

Wish this one was televised. Would have love to have seen 1000 performers all crammed onto the stage! bbcproms radio3

I have sunburned (burnt?) my head. Ouch!

My body aches in new places I did not know could. itsnottheyearsbutthemileage

Ironically, despite being soaked through to the bone this morning, I am now running a bath to relax in. gofigure

Benjamin Grosvenor on bbc2 bbcproms right now makes me feel so inferior. 19 years old and a piano master already! grrrrr lookathimplay

Why did nobody remind me the first bbcproms of 2011 was on tonight? Have I missed Janacek's Glagolitic Mass?
