Been another busy week! Got back from Margate, bag of spearmint mojos in hand ;o)

Went to the Rooster concert at the Guildhall on Monday night - pics are here - they were absolutely brillint - nothing quite like a nice loud rock concert!

Shiny new handheld got delivered yesterday, along with the GPS kit. Mmmmm, shiny toy. So now I really *shouldn’t* be able to get lost.

Hazel, Peter, Joe and Adam are due down tonight to stay for a long weekend …. can’t write about what we’re going to be doing yet as it’s a secret from the boys ;o)

So, what did happen to them? I remember them, but chatting to Andrew about it on the way home today, it would appear that I may be the only one :o( They were a lovely 1p chew - one of my favourites - see if the pic below jogs any memories ……

Oh, and while I remember, pics of team event at Goodwood are here

Well, after an interesting weekend, you’ll notice that the site has changed ever so slightly - courtesy of an email from Google(you all know the story ;o) )

If anyone has any ideas of what I should do to the site, gimme a yell - I was feeling particularly uninspired when I wiggled it around yesterday

Today, whilst making breakfast, I stumbled upon one of life’s great mysteries. The bagel, or, more importantly, the cinnamon and raisin bagel, is without a doubt one of the greatest breakfast food stuffs invented. However …….

Why-oh-why-oh-why-oh-why has it got a hole in the middle? I can understand that it may make eating it simpler, as it can be placed on the end of the finger, but did the designers not think of us mere mortals that need to butter the damn things? There are clearly some options here …….

1) Suffer the hole - it is there for our ease-of-eating pleasure anyway, and buttering around it really isn’t all that diffcult now, is it?
2) Demand the creation of bagels without holes - easier to butter, and everyone knows they don’t last long enough for you to worry about holding anyway.
3) Take one bagel from every pack that you buy, cut it into little bits, and poke it in the holes of the others - an extreme approach, but then we have both the joy of easy buttering as well as the poke-out-ability of a removable centre for those of you who like to hold your bagels that way.

I’m going with option 3. Another almost disastrous world event resolved whilst sitting with a cup of chai this morning. I think it’s time to rest my brain now ;o)

Vas moved in last night - will be great to catch up with him again and have a few giggles. He’s already spoiled me by bringing my a big bowl of popcorn while I was on the phone, and has threatened to fatten me up with some good Greek food - let’s see what happens!

Oh, and in other news, saw a *very* funny thing on the way home from work the other night …. a tractor that had tracks like a tank! Quite possibly the funniest vehicle I’ve seen in a while, second only to the Marmite tankers t’ut north(and how *do* they actually get the marmite out of them? giant knife, or very patient ‘tip and wait’ technology?)
