shark_hatDid y'all know that We Are Klang's radio show, series 3 of Charm Offensive, and Milton Jones's Hello are out on CD? I didn't. I do now.
Went to a newly opened Indian restaurant with the Curry Club from work yesterday. Had an odd but delicious dessert, called "fruit salad in custard-flavoured milk". Which it was. Cold; custard about the consistency of single cream- thicker than milk, certainly- and flavoured with cardamom; fruit salad with apples, grapes, peaches, and a couple of other things. Yum. Apparently it was also nice with a bit of their carrot halva mixed in to it.
Nice plumber has mended my bathroom taps, taken away the old header tank (the space where it was is suddenly very useful), and put in an outside tap. Riches! No more carrying water down the stairs from the kitchen. Also, there's an easy-to-reach isolator and spigot indoors so I can drain the pipe to the tap in winter so it won't freeze. [*]
(I don't plan on using lots of water on the garden- I'm agin containers, because they need watering- but newly planted things do need it, and it was a right faff this year.)
Finally got round to freecycling the too-large compost bin, so that'll give me a bit more space to turn round in the garden.
[*]Further jobs: Lag pipes in cellar. Plaster and paint space-where-tank-used-to-be. Get waterbutt, fix to downpipe.
Of course none of the other jobs that needed doing before have gone away...

Um- they do silly, they do weird, they do great physical comedy; and they also do really gross stuff. (My review when I saw them live was something like "Time Out described them as delightful; I think they have a few too many paedophilia jokes for that. Also, the bit where they make up a song about the sexual inadequacy of one of the troupe members and use a female audience member's name in it was pretty harsh. But damn, they were funny.") This Times review (http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/article1084408.ece) sums it up well, I think.
