Running with a dime in my hand

And good morning to you too. All good here and Thursday already. Enjoyed the Marian Keyes chat yesterday, we couldn't have wished for a better first run at it. She was so warm, funny and enthusiastic I would not be surprised if some of her books registered big sales increases yesterday ; Cold Comfort Farm hasn't been talked about on the radio for quite a while! Still to come Jilly Cooper, Ian Rankin and David Nicholls.

Foodie Thursday is a Spanish dish and features beef and chocolate in various proportions. An education awaits for me as I would never order a savoury dish with chocolate as some things ARE JUST WRONG. Chocolate is for puddings, that is the natural way of things. Then I shall take one mouthful and realise I have to rethink things somewhat....darn it.

And oldies today, well how about this report that has been looking at where in the UK is the friendliest place to live. The answer is Burnley apparently, followed by the Outer Hebrides. Brent in London as the least friendly. So THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE seems to good place to be. What have you got then?
