Things

[juliet]

Porridge in the morning fills you up really quite impressively (& is wheat-free, you see, hence fitting with the whole 'detox' thing). But it is a bugger to wash off the saucepan. This is about the one thing for which I'd like a microwave in the kitchen.

Hummous, lentil sprout, & watercress sandwiches on half-rye bread (shop sold out of 100% rye) are v nice indeed. More lentil sprouts on the way, also alfafa.

Having lunch with kitty_goth in the George (except I didn't eat anything, due to having had too many chips this week already, really, & also the above-mentioned sandwiches waiting for me) is a very good thing.

Have concluded that I'm not going to katstevens' gig tonight (sorry Kat!) due to a) being broke (door charge), b) being broke (transport - cannot cycle as it's not my bike to leave around in Brixton), c) being knackered & d) not feeling at my most go-out-y generally. Was hoping to go bother marnameow, but she is busy, sadly. So, night in on my tod it is (Pete is out at another gig). Anyone at a loose end who wishes to come to Bermondsey &, er, watch me knit (note, I can talk & knit simultaneously)? Also you can play with the rats.

I feel that I should have something to *do* tonight. Like, other than knit. Maybe I should do some coding, but I'm not sure my brain is up to it. Maybe a *little* coding. I feel generally a bit - untethered, maybe.

Work is being busy, & I am being useless. I want to go home now, please.

Man, I love porridge, I really should start eating breakfast.

Actually, I'm at a loose end tonight too, I am pretty tired and don't feel like going out meself but I certainly wouldn't mind doing some of the old crochet and watching dvds or something if you fancy it?

Breakfast is ace. Mmm food.

Sounds like a potential plan. You up to trekking to Bermondsey? I suspect I really can't cope with the leaving of the house, also see above re brokeness. I can, however, probably provide some form of BEER (ok there is at least one bottle, anyway), though I am still off the sauce. And ratties! Don't forget the ratties!

Aye, I can probbly do that with nae harm - up to leaving the house enough to find me at the tube station though, I have forgotten where your house is again - all Bermondsey looks pretty much the same to me! What time? Although Sunny Peckham is close to you, the transport can be a fag if timed incorrectly :)

NB I am going to pop to the shops for DVD shopping so I might turn up with all sorts of crap, hurrah.

Do you want FOOD? NB I have no idea what is in the fridge. Vegetables of some sort, I guess. It may wind up being STEW. Although there is also leftover chilli from yesterday.

Anyway. How's 8-ish? Although I am entirely flexible, depending on how this fits with your plans. And DVDs++, hurrah.

Do you want to make it sevenish actually, if that's not too early for you? As this way I can leave work, pop round the shops and bimble straight over, without the hassle of bashing through the crowds to get home, pick up crochet and battle back out again - I think I am just too tired to face a double whammy of rush hour travellers! I might have to pop to John Lewis to pick up emergency crochet supplies though - how harsh...

Beware: one of the DVDs I'm planning to get is Finding Nemo (it's GRATE)!

(stew = marvellous btw)

Sevenish is fine. Ring me from the station & I shall come collect you? (note: home number is in this post if you can't raise me on the mobile - it's a bit erratic atm).

And! I can give you your stitch holders, hurrah.

Yay - An Plan!!

Do you want anything from J.L whilst I'm there, then? :)

[juliet]

No! No! Evil temptress!

...actually, if they have 3.25 circs in 40cm or 60cm length, could you nab me one? ta. But not if they've only got 80cm - already have those. I could do with 'em for the neck of P's jumper.

I think if I was at a loose end I'd be worried about getting too close to somebody who was knitting, in case they knitted my loose-end-ish-ness up into a scarf or something.

Re porridge -- if you put hot water in the pan to soak it straight away after you get the porridge out of it, it's much easier to wash.

cold water does fine.

a significant part of my upbringing was the everlasting porridge pan - i.e. make porridge, serve, put pan to soak in clean cold water. following day - pour out water, make porridge in pan incorporating yesterday's leftovers...

Porridge is the tool of the devil. Especially if its like the stuff my mother makes, i have come across thinner concrete.

I have a microwave you're welcome to take off me for £20ish (grr - I should have said something about this to people ages ago, but the end result of my broken microwave saga is that I have two microwaves, and obviously I only need one....so let me know).

[juliet]

Ah, no, y'see, we *have* a microwave. We just decided that we use it sufficiently little that it's not worth the space it takes up in the kitchen. The kitchen is very small. So the microwave is in the study, awaiting removal to the attic. Unless anyone wants to borrow it for a bit, anyway.
