2some credibility

No-one believes me when I say that mushrooms are evil. They look nice, sure, but they’ve got the texture of rubber and they taste like weird stuff so they’re evil.

And these ones

Made Charlotte

made this girl sick

Sick.

I didn’t post a picture of the sick, though.

I got these – they’re pretty fun. You have to do this ghetto mod to your flashgun with a couple of thin strips of velcro. I like the light gold one, it’s kinda sepia-ey but only really subtle. I used it on the mushrooms to bring out that nice brown colour. The paler ones I think will be really useful, but I’m not sure about the magenta one.

First strawberries.

first strawberries

They’ve been through it, these strawberries. In a pot since destroyed by excited puppy, the strawberries made the treacherous move to hanging basket only to defy all the odds and grow into the most delicious strawberries Charlotte has ever eaten. Apparently. Personally, I think strawberries are crap, but there y’go.

Charlotte used to collect these leaves, because of the ridges.

I seem to be on a closeup kick the last couple of days. I might go walking somewhere I’ve not been before tonight – there’s got to be so much of this place I’ve never seen before.

I can’t take any credit for this, but I thought it might be quite nice to monitor the progress of it all. It’s very nice.

I dislike everything about grapefruit, except the way it looks. It tastes like a mix of orange juice and earwax.

I so tired (by jaspertandy)

But not a holiday. Rough day. Lucky for me I have a cute dog and wife to cheer me up when everything else seems to be trying to bring me down.

Divorce is so undignified. Whilst everyone involved is undeniably spiritually and personally better off, it’s hard to side with it when parties just don’t seem that way. I’m idealistic, yes, but the people who raised me don’t deserve what they’re living with now, and it’s really difficult to see things like they are. I’m being intentionally vague, but that’s why this block of text is hidden. I love my mum and my dad, but the conditions they’re both living in right now; well, I wouldn’t want that for me.

[Advent Calendar] Day 1

I have this awesome advent calendar, purchased by my excellent wife.

Behind door number one is a pirate. I feel like I should be less surprised.

6Sushi in the park.

You can get vegetarian sushi, which is pretty awesome. I never had sushi before; the idea of raw fish didn’t appeal. The idea of raw vegetables and sticky rice definitely does, though.

Lovely, quiet sit in the (now-funded!) St. James’ Park before walking to work with Charlotte.

Unused.

Our sushi.
