having two blogs. I started the second Queenie cos I had trouble accessing the Magic Theatre for a while as Mrs F had locked me out (stoppy mare). I am keeping them both because I am fond of them no other reason and cannot bear to kill either of these ladies off.

BUT I keep forgetting which one I am in and find myself answering people who have answered one blog in the name of the other blog.

Clearly I am too stupid and badly organised to cope with having two. Lucky one of them is not a secret identity. I would make a hopeless spy.

Oh well.

Well we were out quite late last night in that there fancy London. No we were not rioting about Boris's alcohol ban http://uk.news.yahoo.com/afp/20080601/tod-lifestyle-britain-transport-offbeat-6058bda.html, we were celebrating my new job by doing a riverside and Fleet Street pub crawl ending with a fabulous Tapas Meal orgainsed by Nick at Navarros in Charlotte Street ( I might blog the piccies if we ever get our internet back) on a reconnaissance mission so I would know where to go on Monday Monrning and how to get there. We got back just before midnight but then there were Vampire movies to be watched and vodka to be drunk.

Anyway, I am rambling the point which is that it is the Farmers market today, so we started the day off right with some ostrich steak in burger buns and a nice strong coffeee. We had that quite late so Mr S has only just cooked an amazing lunch using some smoked duck breast which I purchased in the farmers market, some single cream, fressh basil, onions and mushrooms and linguine with a tomato, snap pea and coriander salad on the side served with a choice of white wine which has had peaches marinading in it all morning or some Heck's cider or both and so now it is time to have a nap in front of the telly for a few hours.

BUT before I go off to do that, maybe I have to confess to buying some Biltong today in the farmer's market from Wobbly Bottom the excellent goats cheese vendor. Seems like they make their own. Yum! Mmmmmmmmmm, Biltong will make a good and tasty late night snack next weekend I am thinking.

Time for 40 winks now.

Whats a going on?

Yes blogland does look odd well if I go into QueeneMab anyway, Mrs F seems fine. BUT I cannot comment or open some posts from Queenie.

Anyone else having problems?

To try and make some home made hummous tonight.

I blended some chick peas with garlic, paprika, ground jeera (cumin), olive oil, toasted sesame oil, a little salt, a birds eye chili and some fresh lime juice. It was not as good as the delicious dragon's breath hummous he made, but it was quite nice although the colour was rusty rather than tawny and I am going to try again sometime soon maybe using lemon juice rather than lime and maybe some chopped coriander, Oh and maybe some pine nuts.

In other news I am getting Mab and Mrs F all tangled up. Oh well it will take me a while to figure it out I suppose.

Now I don't have to drive till lunchtime tomorrow, so maybe I COULD have that second glass of wine.

This morning as Mr S has a meeting to go to.

I do not see the sunsrises so well now as the leaves are on the trees. What I could see of this mornings was a hazt peach colour.

The Chestnut tree looks beautiful with the flowers out but the pollen from them it is playing havoc with my hayfever.

I am glad it is Friday today even though it has been a short week.

Some nice chilled wine this evening, but what to eat though, had smoked mackeral salad last night.

Going to have a picnic with Mr S, Sarah and Nick tomorrow if the weather holds.

Looking forward to the Greenwich meet in the evening.

So that is good news for some of us.

In other news my holiday is over today so back to work. It is another beautiful sunny day so I am less than enthusiastic.

"Just one more cup of coffee for the road", then as Mr Dylan used to sing back in the 1970s.

Hope you all have a good day.
