Sun, 16 Nov 2008 18:01:00 +0000

Sorry, two recipes in a row . . . this was an improvisation that worked well so I thought I'd post it before I forgot it ...

September

Not been stabbed yet

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:41:00 +0100

It appears that Dorset has the lowest level of knife crime in the country, which means I can now sleep soundly in my bed at night. Unfortunately (and surprisingly) Hampshire fared rather less well in the report, and I live right on the Hampshire border. So, head too far along the good old A31 and...

Tim impresses himself with his typing skills

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 20:50:24 +0000
