..but hours of delay in central London?

Comms overload, due to the beheading. ITV website was down earlier after they posted the video of the man with the machete in his bl00dy hands, who was talking coherently to the cameras about why he'd just done it.

It was ok. Never tried it before, but thought I would give it a go

I've seen oysters now - saw them for the first time last week when I went to that food thing. Saw the man slit them, put them in a shell, squirt stuff on them, hand them over to a customer, who ate them.

Fresh oysters are unbeatable. Smoked oysters are really different. You buy them in a tin in which they snuggle together in oil. they are smoked, obviously, so not raw anymore, and are little brown meaty things that have a totally different taste and texture.

Shellfish still a bit iffy since the food poisoning dh and I had at the end of march. He had a dim sum lunch today and found himself unable to eat lots of our favourites because the whole prawn thing wasn't sitting well with him.

We currently have a very sweet lavender pekin cockerel now called Davy who started life with us as Daisy. He is named in honour after Davy Jones (late of the monkees) who we had the good fortune to cross paths with for a few years.

My husband also crossed paths with Davy Jones a few times. He said he was an absolutely lovely bloke and that his wife was really nice too. There was much sadness at the news of his passing in this house.

Magicool is great stuff. I tuned to take it with me when I travelled. (Has to go in hold). I also retain water in the heat and flying, so always would think to pack some really good things for water retention.

I must try that.

I hadn't heard the gory detail. How awful.

ETA: I've been trying to get onto the Help for Heroes website to get a wristband or something to show solidarity. I think a lot of people must be thinking the same as me as you can't get onto the shop at the moment.

I've been making stuff for a cake sale tomorrow at Isaac's school - they always do this at little notice.

Isaac and I made lemon biscuits earlier, so our kitchen looks as if a flour bomb exploded in it. I'm now making sloe gin truffles. Kitchen smells absolutely lovely - I don't like eating chocolate much, but the smell of molten chocolate is gorgeous.

Yet another event I can't get my head around.

Am I right in thinking its not to far from fc? Expect there's a very strange atmosphere around there atm.

Sloe gin truffles? Now they sound interesting...
