Yesterday I went into town to have a meeting with the bank (just an annual review thingy) and then went for a wander around the markets. I found a very nice chilli marmalade, much like the one I bought in Gloucester in February. I'd like to learn how to make jams/marmalades at some stage. I also got a couple of pairs of knitting needles as I don't have the right sizes for the sweater I'm making.

Afternoon was a BBQ with [livejournal.com profile] angeoverhere, J. and [livejournal.com profile] softfruit. I ate a massive amount, as is typical for me at barbeque, then in the evening we watched Team America. That film has one of the best quotes ever. See the first one.

Lazy day today. I forgot to set an alarm, so only woke up about an hour ago. Hopefully this hasn't altered my sleep cycle too much.

Pondering going somewhere today but not sure where or to do what. It's quite hot to be outside.
Is anyone interested in going to see the Jodrell Bank telescope?

Our dad makes marmalade a lot. He also knows how to make jam. He got the recipe from his mum and so eventually I hope to learn how to make it myself.

When I get my arse in gear and learn, I'll tell you how to make it.

From what I've gathered so far, it involves a big metal basin and lots of sugar and you have to be careful not to put your hand in it when it's heating because then you cry.

It's so nice getting someone to watch a film that you just *know* they're going to like... ;-)

BTW, did jen say anything to you about birthday/housewarming party type plots?

I'd really rather like to, one of these days.
