Spare a tanner (not a tenner)?
Lovely Friday today. It’s our reward for good behaviour. Treats are allowed, calories don’t count. Treat yourself to at least another jelly baby (black or green always best) then maybe a cream soda or two.
Cheese from China *
It is true that tofu has a noble history. It is true that tofu has many uses. But that doesn’t mean I’m particularly looking forward to it.
It’s not the winning...
Well apparently it’s cooler to come second. After the show last night I was part of a film quiz team run by top actor Mark Strong (currently to be seen in The Imitation Game and Kingsmen). Mark Kermode and myself lent our considerable expertise (unevenly distributed it has to be said) and we romped to second place.
Cravat and poise
Cheery wave! Warm smile! Sincerest greetings! Another lovely week begins here! (A positive start would’t you say?)
Cream Soda and Jelly
And a very good morning to you too. The cusp of a new frosty weekend and already plans are being made, journeys calculated, bottles of pop placed in the fridge (does anyone actually say ‘pop’ anymore? Did anyone ever use say it? Maybe it was just in comics…).
Vive Espana sausage
Morning groovers. My BBC weather app tells me my degrees today are 2,2,3,3,4,4,4,4,3,3,3,3,2,2,1. So much to look forward to there!
Cardinals and rock 'n' roll
Wednesdays are better than Tuesdays, they just are. Psychologically we have moved on from the weekend and there is another one along very shortly.

Let’s achieve something positive by lunchtime. Like, maybe, only eating 2 chocolate digestives for example.That would be a top achievement.
Rollin’ and Tumblin'
There’s a small white box flashing away in the corner of the room. It is spreading a message of hope and good cheer. Translated it means I bring wifi to all, yea even the darkest corners of this house.
