Friday, Bradford's monthly comedy gig, Bag Of Quips (ugh), first time I'd managed to get there. Stan Stanley and Alistair Barrie, and a compere who wasn't that great- to be fair he was struggling against a small crowd (and not a natural comedy audience, I think) and a badly laid-out room. I have a feeling I'd seen Barrie before. They were both good, I laughed more at Barrie, but thought Stanley may have had more interesting things to say. Not really worth ploughing through the pissheads in the city centre at half eleven on a Friday night, though, unless it was someone amazing on. Leeds it is.

Managed to get up in time for a farmers' market on Sunday, just, and it was fun; surprised that there were no veg at all, but lots of interesting local meats (guinea fowl, rare breed beef, goat...), jams/chutneys, bread, some cheeses- well worth going. Intended to nip in to Harvey Nicks for a weeny jar of blackcurrant jam (60p), got ambushed by the sushi bar (£15), oops. (Incidentally, they've got some interesting chocolates in there).
Saturday-Sunday was the first 24 hours it hadn't rained for about a fortnight, so I sighed, and mowed the lawn and weeded and pruned, being clawed by several vicious roses- I wouldn't mind quite so much if they showed any inclination to flower at all, but they're straggly items with no decorative value who just lurk behind other things and wait their opportunity to lash out at you. *sucks scratches*.

I actually managed to finish Saturday's paper by the end of Sunday, which never happens!

mutter mutter pedants mutter can't i have a few unclear referents in my own blog mutter. No, in the food section about 10 yards from the sushi bar. I didn't get maki with blackcurrant jam, either.

Pedant? Maybe. But you got sushi for lunch, so watch me completely fail to feel sorry for you.

Mmmm raw tuna.
And I had an ostrich burger from the market, too! (Texture like a turkeyburger, but more taste. Was nice.)
