What a nice afternoon.  I went to see sushidog  for the first time in eons.  It was supposed to be for cake and string but we gabbed so much and ate such nice cake we forgot all about the string...

The cakes were yumtastic.  Savoury feta and courgette cup cakes... moist, tangy and delicious (I brought 4 home to reheat for breakfast).  Then lemon cupcakes, elegant, fluffy and lovely (I brought 4 home to have for pudding!)  All washed down with big hearty malbec, mmmm.
 
So we gabbed about all manner of nonsense, but mainly food and books.  H has a way of describing favourite books with such enthusiasm and verve that it makes me want to go and read them all right this second!   (Was delighted to find someone else who likes GK Chesterton...   I might have a mini-fad on him next.)
  
I caught the London Overground all the way back tro Richmond and was comforted to notice a policewoman on my carriage.   Admittedly she was quite young and half asleep, but still...   (it wasn't until much later that she moved seats and I realised she was actually a knackered waitress on her way home from a shift in a remarkably policewoman-like uniform.)
  
Still, it was a friendly carriage.  I chatted to two nice Kiwi boys on the train home while finishing Elijah #2's head  (...in case you were wondering, ms_siobhan ).
 
Right.  Home now.  Time for more cheese...

Oooh Elijah#2 excitement!!!

I've tried reading some GK Chesterton but didn't really get on with it but I did really enjoy the adaptations that were on BBC7 a while back. I love talking books with people too - combined with cake it's a perfect way to spend the day.

The Man WHo Was Thursday made me laugh out loud... we tried to record the BBC7 audio book of it and managed to miss the last 2 episdes - doh!

Must confess Elijah only has a head so far... (he is knitted from the head down) but fear not, I am aiming to get him done this month so he is with you by the start of May.

Also meant to add BBC7 has Father Brown stories on at moment, I am annoyed they've switched round when they have childrens stuff on though - I tend to fall asleep listening to the comedy and the last couple of mornings I've been roughly awoken by over chirpy and enthuiastic childrens presenters singing rubbish songs v early in the morning.Pah.
