Went to my local village fete last weekend. A proper English affair it was. a dog show, coconut shy, tombola, splat the rat etc. They did have some bloke singing songs loudly over a microphone though which hurt my head and spoilt it a bit


I had a flyer come through my door for a local country fair in a few weeks time - didn't fancy paying £14 for the privilege or is that for the privileged?

I can get the same sort of thing on my back door for free.

For my fluffy friend.

I found out that a jacob's join is something like what I have with the girls when we get together.

We bring dishes of food to be shared and it is very much a pot luck what arrives at the table.

There is a mixture of homemade food and bought ready made food.

So it is a little bit like a picnic but indoors in our case.

Our next one is due in just over a week and we will also be watching a documentary and discussing.

The problem with shared food is I never know how much I'm allowed to have. I end up worrying about it the

whole evening or not having very much. I wish the'd give my a plate at the start with my share on it, then I

could relax.

What's the doco?

It is called 'The Mask You Live In' and shows many accounts of men's issues including the messages they are brought up with in society and the impact this has on them including their mental health and living authentically.

I don't have any problems with eating the food nor taking home the leftovers if there are some - it is only the 4 of us and we are all very good friends. I just hope my friends partner makes chocolate cake this time. I had a huge piece to take home last time and was eating it for 3 days. One thing which is a given is me mates samosas - she is a lovely cook too.

It is now time for fish fingers and CBB live eviction.

What more could a girl want. :D

I have just had the pleasure of consuming another can of San Pellegrino Pesca+Tea. It's not sold in any of the shops here, I had to order it online. It's a new release from this Italian-based multinational soft drink company and has a Canadian rather than a British address on the rear of the 250ml can. This tastes primarily of peach instead of the tea flavouring and this is pleasant and not forceful to the palate. There are tea notes on the back end. If I have any complaint with Pesca+Tea is that it's somewhat flat. The carbonation is slight.

Overall: I probably wouldn't pay for these again but they're pleasant enough to drink.

^I would probs have gone for the lemon or limone. The translation of pesca was more interesting than I had

expected but I'm going to assume you've been on the peach tea rather than fish tea since I don't think that comes

carbonated and in a can :D .

Drinking San Pellegrino Chino now. Bought these online too. Now, these are truly a delight. Little bit more carbonation with this one but the delightful ever-changing bittersweet flavour of the chinotto oranges... mmm, delicious!

Pretty much nothing, bored, paying too much attention to the news.

I am off to see a friend for coffee at her house today.

There may be a quick shopping experience if I can handle it.

Just to top it off I have jeans on today - who would have thought it.

I will be having a Sainsbury's lentil and bacon soup 40p, it's becoming an addiction, with some French bread at

one, followed by half a pack of teddy bear crisps and an apple :D Then I'll have to get ready for work. Damn, I

was supposed to start getting ready for my rental inspection today, it's on the 19th. I hate cleaning :(
