So I’m Sat At Work…
...minding my own business, and some random guy walks in through the office door, looking lost. Nobody seems to get up to see to him, so I - in my new desk, which is quite close to the door - go over to greet him. "Is there;" he begins, sounding a little unsure of himself, …

Thai-Style Turkey & Rice
I've always been drawn to trying to prepare a fried-rice dish, but I've always been put off by the risk of burning it (I'd have imagined that it would be difficult to prevent rice from over-cooking and sticking to the pan, which would make for far-from delightful cleaning, later).

The shopfront itself is … -

Dreams Of Scrabble
Odd dream last night:
Claire, Matt, Sian, Andy R and I were sat in a circle on the large pavement outside the dry cleaners on Great Darkgate Street, Aberystwyth, playing Scrabble. I wasn't very comfortable sat where I was (between Claire and Sian), so I swapped places with Matt (between Sian and Andy), which was …
