food

it’s a very sticky little chappie

guess where we went for a traditional sunday lunch ?

just look at the late afternoon shadow on this muffin in the middle of the road

can you believe they have restaurants just for dogs these days. it’s SO unfair. they probably get to take their scraps home in human-bags.

here was a pain au chocolat i had one morning last week. it’s only got one seam of chocolate which was a real disappointment at the time.
not a lot of people know this, but ‘pain au chocolat’ literally translated means ‘the pain of chocolate’, which means ‘chocolate window’.

spring is springing. which is nice. it’s good to see flowers flowering and sprouts sprouting.
i was delighted to see my first pork pie in a flowerbed on the way to work this morning. a sure sign that summer is not so far off.

fruit needs a rest too

highly unseasonal

no body has any time any more. i know i don’t. i’ve taken from stealing time from myself which can only lead to disaster in the long run.
every day so far this week i’ve gone to bed around or after midnight (thanks to working late) and got up around 5am to start work (i was up at 4.30 this morning to finish a document). it’s all been due to the busyness of work, but hopefully that should calm down a bit after today (well maybe).
anyway, food is a tricky thing when you are busy, which is why my local supermarket has started introducing pre-eaten foods. like this half eaten apple.
it saves you both time and money (as they are sold by weight). and also means you don’t have to eat fruit.
so everyone’s a winner (baby, that’s the truth)

i went round to mend a friend’s computer last night and to pay me she gave me a bottle of wine (for jane) and a box of galaxy chocolate bars for me ! so much for the no choc rule (back on hold at the moment).
i set the ‘point of sale’ box up and now it feels a little like i’m running a confectionary stall.
i could never be a proper computer repair man. my teeth would drop out.
but i was quite pleased with this (slightly photoshopped) photo of the chocs in their box !

i’m usually quite hungry by the time i get to work.
it being a friday i decided to buy a selection pack of teeny weeny croissants and pain au chocolats. what a treat.

unfortunately the noise of drilling and general construction coming from another part of my office took the edge of this morning luxury.
i’ve got a stinking cold and have a massive headache anyway, so the noise didn’t help. here’s a video of me dealing with the noise.
i don’t think i normally look this depressed and miserable. but maybe i do.
