Whitechapel tonight

[shaneystar2]

When they went into the house to arrest the man they thought was the murderer and he was watching that old film there was Kent and Stockman but who was the other guy ?

[jno]

ah, well, Norfolk. Another instant visit when the sun came out; we dashed up and had a look at some National Trust places (gotta get our money's worth out of membership) then dashed back. We did spend Saturday night at a bijou boutique hotel ...um... le Travelodge, that was it, with its prizewinning Petit Chef restaurant and a cockroach in the bed. It was a Norfolk cockroach, you could tell from the way it was so flat - at least it was after I finished with it.

jno I would have been screaming so loudly they would have heard me in Perth.

[jno]

I wrapped it in a bit of loo paper and handed it in at reception. They were apologetic, but probably just took it to the Petit Chef to put in a burger.

[woofgang]

apologetic.....what happened to shocked and mortified?

[jno]

actually the cockroach raised the tone of this place significantly.

[shaneystar2]

I can only apologise most profusely Jno for our flat cockroaches :)
Next time stay at Shaneytowers .Full English and spotless beds !!
Lovely day here ,roasting actually .I see the little angels have broken up for the summer .Most of them were screaming round the library this morning ..
Glad to hear your day went well Lofty .... and I love your little garden Woofy .I hope you win a prize .
Nothing doing here so am going to plonk myself dans le jardin and sweat in sympathy with Neti ...Pip pip for now .

wish I'd had longer than a day but someone emailed to offer me work proofreading a cookbook, so I had to come back to await delivery of page proofs today. Only now it turns out her designer's computer has crashed so I won't get them till Wednesday, so I could have stayed away till then. And I am fleeing the country on Saturday so I won't have much time for reading anyway; she'd better hurry up then. The book is already listed on Amazon with £1.50 off so she won't want to miss her deadlines!

Oh Jude, is it your arm? Do take care.

[Jude123]

hello again I've been talking to my younger sister who broke her left wrist last winter on the ice and she told me she felt exactly the same and was scared of walking anywhere. So we ended up laughing about things.. So I may be back sooner than I thought. So no more :( butmore :)...

[woofgang]

stares round bleary-eyed... another hour's sleep wouldn't have hurt.

Dined in Mayfair last night, right on Half Moon Street by a window, with Olympic BMWs whizzing up and down all evening. I didn't see any athletes I recognised, but then I don't suppose I'd recognise any of them anyway. There were supposed to be some staying at the hotel where I was eating (the Hilton).

Steak and sides and a champagne cocktail, £29 for two, which wasn't that much more than a Tesco meal deal, and somebody else did the cooking. Tasted better than a Norfolk roachburger too.
