And I love to live so pleasantly… *EDIT*

My diary has finally been restored!  Well, OK, it’s doing the multiple copies of entries thing and there’s no notes on my old entries, but I’m willing to wait and see if that changes before submitting a support ticket for it.

I’m having a lazy day today.  My dinner is going in the slow cooker.  Sweet and sour chicken.  I usually use the slow cooker to make spaghetti bolognaise or chilli, so I decided top change things up for once.  I just wish there was somewhere round here that sold racks of ribs, fancy making that again.  Oh well.

Watching the GB Davis Cup tie at the moment.  With Andy Murray and Kyle Edmund out injured at the moment, this was supposed to be an easy win for Spain.  Unfortunately for them, no-one told Cameron Norrie this.  He won on Friday in 4 hours, after being close to a 3-0 wipeout and he’s taken the number 1 player in Spain to a fourth set and coming up on 4 hours today.  If he can keep this up, he’ll go very, very far.

Also found out today that my mums Christmas present has been shipped.  I did order it before Christmas, but it’s not released until Thursday, so I didn’t pay for it until this weekend either.  Not sure if I should warn her it’s on the way or leave it as a surprise.  (She does know I’ve bought her the book.)

Still struggling to find a lightbulb for my lava lamp.  I’ll get there.

Will

*EDIT*: When cooking, it generally helps to remember to put all of the ingredients in…

Which is my way of saying i forgot to put the bloody chicken stock in to my sweet and sour chicken.  Should be fine though

I’ve been watching the Davis Cup all weekend too… Canada is taking on Crotia, and we’ve been doing rather well. I love watching tennis, but I’ve never taken the time to show up and watch it live. Something I might have to change very soon.

Yay!! My past entries looked weird- and some seemed to be missing- for awhile, but they appear to be okay now. Notes are there, but strangely some appear unsigned although clearly they were from friends. No pictures, which is a little sad.

My word, I know you got into this party way before I did, so if you are still waiting for your old diary to restore I guess I won’t complain. My wife and I love our slow cooker. Because she is visually impaired it suits us well that I can just chuck some stuff in in the morning then she can switch it on for me a few hours before I get home from work.

I am a sucker for those microwaveable ribs you get from Lidl. Filth never tasted so good.

I’m still waiting on a “Christmas” present to arrive. Must have been put on the slowest boat China owns.

ALL the ingredients do help a recipe to taste good.
