// post fourtyone. for a long weekend I went to see my granddad in Totnes. we went to Dartmouth and had a wonderful lunch in an old Tudor manor house (tapas: a mini boar burger and sweet potato chips with guacamole and a giant couscous-stuffed baby bell pepper with goat's cheese, and a caraffe of white wine), which had anamorphic circles in the restaurant, and we went to Brixham and had crème brûlée ice-cream in the sun walked the dog along the harbour where you aren't allowed to fish by order of the harbour master but hundreds of people were catching crabs. and I chose a few piles of books to bring back to Birmingham.

// now I'm back in Birmingham and the heat wave has broken! thunderstorms and lots and lots of rain. I don't know how long it will last, but at the moment I'm enjoying wearing a jumper. the cold is much better than the hot, even if the sun does make photography much easier. xx

only the V's of my pizza remain.  it was rocket and salami and mozzarella and I didn't make it and that makes me quite sad.  I know how to make a pizza base, and all the ingredients are so cheap, and I would feel much better if I made what I ate.  oh well.

my fingers and the moon may be inter-linked at some level, but it's more efficient to be able to tell them apart.  that's a new coffee from Costa, called a Cortado.  it's good.

I don't know what to do with this blog other than talk about myself and what I'm doing, and other than some boring family revelations, talking to my Cambodia-travelling friend, and some driving around, I've not been doing much. I made bolognese for supper. I got the recipe from the BBC website, but I did not have bacon, so I did not include bacon. it said add 150ml of red wine to the mix. I was making just under half of the recommended portion, because it serves 4, so I just added about 70-80ml. turns out red wine is not very compatible with small portions of food, and I ended up eating what was essentially 12.5% alcohol bolognese. xx
