h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

S'ok, I won't pinch it

I want the Forty Licks album particularly now as it's got the track She's a Rainbow on it. Driving me because it's being used in a TV ad at the moment.

I've put it in my Amazon wishlist *hint hint*

Ah glad you dropped by l/c! Oh no I trust you...I actually have the ...Masjesty's Request CD with the song in its unvarnished form. I mean it's been remaster & all since!

remasterED

Ooh, have you?
All I have of theirs at the moment is a cassette which is buried somewhere... Thought it was high time I made amends

I have a few of the old albums on CD; England's Newest Hitmakers(with Route 66, etc), December's Children(and everybody's)-with You'd Better Move On & Get Off of My Cloud, 'Request'(with She's A Rainbow & 2000 Light Years From Home) & 'Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out' with Midnight Rambler, etc. Just noticed or was reminded, that all four are marked 'digitally remastered from original master recordings', so not Totally unvarnished I suppose. A couple old cassettes too, notably Jamming With Edward.

Have been a-rummaging and found mine. It's called Solid Rock and has Route 66, Get off of my cloud, Jumpin Jack Flash etc. Some of the mono tracks were 're-processed' in stereo

Ah ok, sounds good !:-! So how's your weekend been?

better than my typos I hope!

Um, not bee very exciting but it's different to w*rk

Had a few glasses of wine earlier so struggling with typing here too

How is yours going?

*been*

In a word 'quiet'. Nothing exciting, did some reading & meal preparation but otherwise...

Mine mostly consist of housework, shopping with a bit of hootooing, and gardening in good weather

Some housework, considerably more hootooing - it could've & should've been much more balanced!*sigh*But such is life...

Balance - isn't that having a bar of in each hand?

I always try to make sure I do a few unnecessary things every day. Make things seem more enjoyable

Actually my definition of balance is somewhat flexible - a bar of in each hand is nice, but for total balance in the mouth is required too! An acceptable variation involves in either hand, in the mouth & either or in the other hand. Or for a couple more months there's another option, which involves in either hand, in the mouth & a glass or bottle of local Alley Kat brewery's Porter in the other hand.(Actually I've yet to try it with , but it's only a matter of hours.)

I'm still perfecting balance in a few other areas.

I'd settle for a bar of in one hand and a or in the other Perhaps I'd wear a halo just to balance everything out

I have been known to dunk a bar in my tea Is that allowed?

Oh it's all allowed when it comes to how one enjoys...their 'enjoyables'( & in this case). But you raise another possibility for balance, I know that Godiva makes a liquer. So that could certainly make for a very alcohol-based component! And coincidentally on the topic of I notice that one of our Canadian supermarket chains( http://www.superstore.ca/west )has introduced a chai-the east indian . Actually both a Licorice Spice(licorice with cinnamon, orange peel & clove)& Chocolatey("a complex blend of cocoa nibs, cocoa pods and cinnaman and naturally sweetened with stevia"). So yes, or chai-as purists would stress a distinction-is another option. Or rather -obsessed option.

I have just had a look at the Godiva liqueur. I would definitely end up rather unbalanced after a few of those though I see they have recipes for other drinks including Godiva

Looking at seasonal (as you do ) Hotel Chocolat do their own Advent calendars

Yes the liqueur would make the 'balance' issue rather touchier/trickier/dodgier. But then walkiing a bit of a tighrope now'n'then keeps things interesting...if not challenging.

I must admit I haven't really looked into dark advent calendars. Most that I've seen are milk ...although I'm sure Purdy's http://www.purdys.com or Bernard Callebaut http://www.bernardcallebaut.com might have one if I ask. Or I can certainly keep my eyes open, so to speak - I have seen them! Hmm, possibly Carol's http://www.carolsqualitysweets.com , they've relocated but when they were in the area they imported a number of products from The U.K..

Balance has been restored - I have just had and shared some Galaxy with my daughter. That was so good of me don't you think?

I wish I could remember what they were but a few years ago a Dutch colleague brought me some s. They were
Can't say I'm a fan of Hersheys so far although I've only sampled their Kisses
