Have given in to the need of tidying my study corner, which I've been putting off due to the conundrum of desk and computer. Ideally, I'd like to put an Alve in, but a desktop is too big. I ought to be able to use my work laptop, (if I leave work

Am beginning to see the point of rss feeds and collecting a few. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to order them in a particular way, nor can I find a good thought/recipe/cartoon for the day. Actually I haven't looked for the cartoon yet. As you

I see they've never corrected the spelling on the website (bocaddillo, honestly!) - however, had a perfect a meal as ever last night at El Coto. Didn't realise there was a sensible train back on to get home from Newcastle again too - very handy.

two hours pretty much it took me to get to work today! wish we could justifiably work at home when it's dodgy weather. no snow ploughs, no gritters (someone said they'd heard rumours the gritters were out at 3am, but it snowed loads more after that)
