Loose lips sink ships

Sometimes you go off on a bit of a twitter venting session, and then realise the person you were letting off steam about follows you on twitter.
Actually, this time I didn't go off on a twitter rant.
And I'm not going to go off on one here.
What I *was* going to do here was write something particular, but I can't remember what.

Coffee quest: we just might have a winner!
Posted Jan 22, 2016
I think I've found a strong contender for Coffee Quest.
I have found somewhere nearby which meets lots of the criteria.
1) It's nearby
2) They never pour milk in your coffee
3) The coffee itself is really good
4) It's not a chain shop
5) The staff are lovely
6) The price is reasonable
7) They have proper cream buns
Number seven was never one of the original criteria, but I think it deserves bonus points!

Hic! Hic! Hic!

I ordered a vegetarian pizza, and got a pizza covered in processed pigs.
But I'll tell you - what they lacked in accuracy, they more than made up for in capsaicin. I am eating it as a matter of principle, but it's agony.

A new year's resolution

I think in 2016 I will listen to more cellos. They are pleasing to my ear.

Happy Christmas
Posted Dec 26, 2015
Happy Christmas to all of you.
I really enjoyed Christmas. We just had the family together, chatted, and ate a bit more than usual. Ok, maybe drank a bit more than usual, too.
So nothing spectacular, but something very special. I think the older you become, the more you become aware how special times like this are. You appreciate your family more and realise they won't be there forever. Sitting around the table having a joke becomes more special.
And what made it even more special is *nobody* started an argument.
