Adverts, Organisations and Blogs Ahoy!

Please don't be too shocked by the fact I've actually been updating my blog recently - I'm not sure how long that will last! :)

I've found a possible new outlet for 'food related' posts, which is great as thats something I really wanted to split out from here, which leaves most of the business stuff over at Mattched IT and really only personal notes on any fun/annoying/interesting things which happen to us, or which I notice.

You may also notice some adverts, because I'm running a few experiments at the moment - and whenever I want to try things out, this blog tends to be the guineapig! Some of them will probably stay, but others are quite likely to go.

PS. Rosa got me a copy of "FISH" - The River cottage book - by Hugh Fearnley eats-it-all and his friend Nick, for Xmas and if you're into fishing (or eating fish), it's really brilliant. :)

Book - Making Money (Terry Pratchett)

Just finished reading this (got it for £9.99 in a bookshop in town, which is decent for a hardback).

It's really good - if you liked "Going Postal", this one is great too, as it's another adventure for Moist von Lipwig, and also has cameos from other Ankh-Morpork favourites (even a few good lines for Vimes, which always makes me smile).

Top read.

... and back again

I'm back from my holiday. Of course, I think I forgot to say that I was going, which makes this whole post fairly pointless.

My holiday book was "Frank Skinner" by none other than - Frank Skinner.

Phenomenal. Littered with nob jokes, and truly laugh-out-loud funny. Buy it. Even if you don't like Frank that much before, you might after.

The Hogfather - Part One

Just watched the first part of the TV rendition of Terry Pratchett's Hogfather.

I was cynical about it.

I was wrong.

It's blummin marvelous.

Ho Ho Ho.

Ramsey, and other books

Recent books: The Da Vinci Code, Deception Point, Digital Fortress (Dan Brown). Good (if slightly predictable), Fairly good and fairly bad, in that order. I wonder how long it will be before Hollywood dives on the latter two and insists on making them into god-awful movies?

Current book: Humble Pie (Gordon Ramsey). Excellent. I'm a bit of a Ramsey fan anyway, but reading his life-story (so far) in his own words is [explitive] great.

Next book: No idea. I'm struggling to find a new author - open to suggestions. Waiting for the next Harry Potter, too.

Oddly, nothing much to complain about here.
