Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

OMGOMGOMG!! Alan Gordon's new book is out NOW! OMGOMGYAYY SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! *ransacks amazon, orders book* So I'll have to live on baked beans on toast and soup for a month, it'll be worth it, dammit. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Kitty cat is being remarkably good natured about the eye drops, if rather sulky. 3 doses so far (1 drop in each eye) and no scratches for me :)

Work was so boring today, I wanted to stab my eyes out with a spork. Roll on the long weekend.

Highlight of day - very, very jammy/creamy sponge cake, courtesy of BigBouncy, whose birthday is next week but she'll be away, so we get birthday goodies this week instead :) Mmmm cake. Is there a more luscious combination than jam and cream? Seriously, if you ever want to make my day, just get me a cake loaded with jam and cream, I'll be a happy mousey. (If there's chocolate too, I might die of joy.)

We didn't make it to Bath.

*sighs*

What we did get was 2 and a half hours in a solid traffic jam on the A1(M) with no option to bail out and find another route until the outside lane traffic finally cleared and I could haul the car out of the standstill that was the inside lane (queuing for the M25 junction) and head south to where I could turn round and go back North.

I was not a happy mousey.

Over a vast cooked breakfast in Little Chef, jenni411 and I decided that we just couldn't face another 2 hours in the car driving to Bath, especially as we were hearing on the radio the M25 was slow anti-clockwise. So we bailed. We've lost the hotel room but it was half the cost of what I'd have used in petrol to get there, plus parking fees, so eh, what the hell.

Instead we spent a very happy afternoon pottering around the Veralamium museum, Roman Theatre and bath house mosaic in St Albans :) Much more fun!

And now jenni411 is baking apple and walnut cake. Life is good again!
