June 30, 2001 | Comments Off
I’ve just spent a fascinating hour (spot the irony) shelling prawns and pondering the strange use of the word ‘deveining’ which is used in prawn recipes for an act that is actually de-gutting…
Anyway, this culinary effort is in aid of a Caribbean meal that Chris and I are preparing for Alison and Philippa this […]

Mildly amusingly, Ev, who’s one of the guys behind Blogger, is looking to move to a new office in San Francisco, and wonders if anyone has any space in the city they’d like to share….. Now who can I think of who has an office in SF that they’re not making full use of….?

Wimbledon Watch – When on
June 29, 2001 | Comments Off
Wimbledon Watch – When on earth did Goran Ivanisivic lighten up? Running around without his top on, making tricksy split-screen pieces with the Beeb, *playing to the crowd*???? Can this really be the same miserable bugger of old?

It’s 11.30 at night - how can it still be this hot?
Bowling update - been for a few games with Barnaby and Mike this evening and I’m happy to report that the form which was so conspicuous by its absence last week made a partial return, allowing me to place a first, second, and third, […]

My *word* but it’s been hot today – even when I’ve been able to sit quietly doing nothing I’ve still had sweat pouring out of me. How those tennis players have been managing, I don’t know. I have my red aeroplane fan cooling me as I type.

I did a train journey to Milton Keynes today, and on the way back, the train stopped for 10 minutes for no explained reason (note for non-UK readers - this happens - just accept it), but it happened to stop beside a cornfield that was full of poppies - the English countryside retains its occasional […]
