I've just had a chinese takeaway and a glass of wine. (bang goes the diet)

And the budget... my tea, including beans and fizzy drink, was £1.10.

I love moules marinierw. We eat moules a lot and i find it hard to enjoy the, any way better than this. Ots one of the few meals i cook several times a year. We just have them with bread. . But loads of parsely like a salad.

The left over jus i sometimes make into a leek soup the next day....its rich winey lemony deliciousness is very good.

You know what it's like.... I was booked in until 4ish .... and even though I was only 33 miles away or so .... that's over an hour in these parts

I was North West of Bl******d F**** and South West of Sh********y.

Oh yeah, takes ages to get there...you were right. Fwiw, we could always meet in the S city.

As I've never been, I don't know (until I Google) if that's a one-horse town - and if I'm in a town I'd like to see more than one horse.

Where I was today they didn't even have a horse.... I suspect they borrow a horse-shoe on special days, but that's as exciting as it gets there.

Its a diddy city.

What sprt of horses do you like looking at? I can tell you if S has one or a few maybe, though i don't know it brilliantly.tend to just do the central areas. For me, as far as it is, uless i go to B its my nearest M and S and decent high street chains. It also has some smaller chains and cute tearooms and, (shame on me) a wagamamma. I just love big bowls of overpriced noodles, dumplings and raw juice...even with the strange bring it when its ready thing. I can get most of that stuff in B, but S has a different vibe.....not as young, but also, not as up to date. I quite like that.
