shark_hatAnyway yes, I don't actually go around moping about not being in London all the time, [1] it was just thinking about nostalgia that sparked it off. And I do, in fact, like it up here as well. Right now I am stressed about something else entirely, viz, builders. And that my Boosh Series 3 DVD was dispatched on Saturday and has still not arrived. I mean, people have icons of the special features already and I haven't even watched them yet! Noooo!
..but there's stoo for supper. Yum yum.
(Stoo recipe: Chuck some meat, onion, root veg and celery in a pot with the remains of last week's soup, and some lentils if you've got some five-year-old lentils that need using up, and probably some yeast extract and tomato puree or wine or something, and a few herbs, and slosh some water in, and cook it quite gently for quite a long time. Gets nicer the more often you leave it in the fridge for a few days and reheat it, up to a point where it'd go off probably but I've never got that far.)
[1] Sometimes I mope about not being in Edinburgh, for example.
