Im so proud of James, he started his new contract job last Thursday...
Talking of jobs (or rather lack of them) I saw this sign in the window of Lush I think this shows just how bad the job market is here in the UK :o(.
Just click on the picture for my flickr pictures
I have been taking my camera to work with me in the hope of being able to film some more people playing the Street Pianos, incidentally I was able to upload the video onto flickr eventually with the help of James ;o). Ironically I havent seen anyone playing the pianos (its like they know!!!).
I took Als advice and had a little tinkle on the piano (even though I cant play), the first time I ran my finger across the keyboard (someone I used to work with was walking past at the time and called me a hooligan ;o)). The next day I was feeling more defiant and gave the keyboard three bashes as I was walking past. The next thing I knew I heard someone else doing the same thing (he gave it one bash ;o)) its good to know I inspired someone ;o).
I found another piece of Innocent Vegpot reading, this time it was on the Spicy Chermoula Tagine
"power lunching
When did you last get genuinely excited about lunch? Was it when Jean Claude Van Damme came over and Brevilled you up a nice ham and cheese number? Were guessing it probably was. But we think we can provide even more lunchtime excitement. Right here, inside this pot. 3 of your 5 a day quick as a flash to heat and eat. Admittedly there will be no Belgian high kicking. But there will be vegetables, good health and good taste. And as JCVD once said "God gave me a great body and its my duty to take care of my physical temple" So please let this pot worship your er physical temple" ;o).
On my train line we normally get air conditioned trains, but shock horror on Tuesday there were problems and I had to sit on a non air conditioned train, it was horrible!
In my bid to get the word chocolate mentioned more on this blog see my wordle, I had today a piece of chocolate with Chili (there are three more pieces in the bar I bought) , it was really nice, the chocolate had a really hot flavour to it - I will most definitely buy that one again).
I weighed myself this morning and was well gutted that I put on two pounds, I cant put it all down to meeting my friends for lunch as I only had scrambled egg on toast, oh well I will see how I do next week.

No AC on a train? I would have protested. Here in hell...er,I mean, TX, if the AC goes out in your apartment (during the months of probably april-oct) it is considered a 'Maintenance Emergency' (right up there with uncontrollable toilet and a broken front door)and they will come right out. So, I could not imagine riding a train to work without AC. Poor Amber. I feel for you!
As for the Chili chocolate, it sounded like you didn't like it, but you said you will be buying it again? Did I read wrong...did you actually enjoy the heat? Two pounds-Foo Schmounds....don't worry about it! :)
The chili chocolate was nice ;o)
Here in the UK we rarely have heat hot enough that demands AC.
I think our highest temperature has been in the low 90's (which is probably a walk in the park in TX), when the tempereature ever reaches 100 (about once or twice a year) , then you get headlines about it!
Thanks not too worried about the 2 pounds ;o)
I remember being on a train some years ago now with no AC. That was from Manchester to Euston but thankfully it wasn't too hot. It was noticeably warmer than it should have been but nothing you couldn't cope with.
Where do you get the chili chocolate from? I wouldn't mind trying some of that as it sounds interesting!
Al, the Chili chocolate was from Paul A Young he has a shop in Camden Town and another in The City.
If you have any specialist chocolate shops near where you are, they may do something similar too ;o).
I don't think we do, but if I'm ever in the vicinity of one of his shops I'll have to pop in and have a look!
