Crabtastic!
Have I mentioned how much I like the Anchor & Hope? Ah, I see that I have.
Oh well, I thought I'd let you know just how brilliant it is again. I have no kitchen for the time being, you see, 'cos I'm having a new one put in (photos to come - you'll be pleased to know I've become something of a kitchen bore). So last night I trundled along to the A&H for supper on my own.
Sitting at the bar, I couldn't resist this tasty chap.
He put up quite a fight, however, especially since he was already cooked. After a 40 minute struggle, however, I was declared the winner.
Yum!

Santacon 2009
Yes, it's that time of the year. London Santacon 2009 took place yesterday and once again it was drunken, messy and hilarious.
I had a great time along with Santa Dibbs, Santa Sam and Santa Katy (seen here with a low-flying sprout, care of Santa Craig.
This year we started at the Prince Charles Cinema, where there was an 11am showing of Fred Claus. Ticket prices were £4.75 for ordinary punters and £2.75 for santas. It was a sell-out and spirits were high throughout.
After the film, most of us headed to Holborn, although a miscommunication also had a bunch of santas heading to Camden where a rendezvous had been planned with another group of crimson-suited, white-bearded merry-makers. Here's Santa Dibbs on the escalators to the tube.
I will update with lots more photos and commentary, but Google Chrome just crashed and I lost everything I've spent an hour typing up... in the meantime, here are some pics.

Oh, crivens!
I didn't read an email properly last week.
It was from the kitchen designer I've retained to design a new kitchen. He let me know in the email that he wants to come round with some workmen between 8am and 10am.
Tomorrow.
I guess he has to, since the kitchen company Möben are due to come in next week with the all-singing, all-dancing new kit.
The kitchen is based on this range.
I'm really dreading the upheaval.
And now I'm going to have to spend the next hour washing up and cleaning!
