Barnet-Chaville

This is mainly as I have a friend from Barnet. I do wonder what there twinnings achieve though? Every town puts two or three(or eight in the case of Barnet) random foreign towns onto their signs, but why? I sense a conspiracy

Moelle

Yep, those are cross sections of a cow leg bone filled with their delicious gloop. It was a good birthday

Down the well

Every home in france is required to have a well in the garden. This is for when the children are bad

Lost phone box in Trappes

This is in a new town on the outskirts of Paris. Nobody knows how it got there

The view from the top 2

And again at night. Sadly not during the five minutes on the hour where the Eiffel tower sparkles. Also no matter how good camera phones get they still can't take a decent picture at night it seems

I am not sure what else you could really want from a view in Paris

Things i find on my desk

Two gold coated glass(?) disks. They are pretty but i do not understand why they are here

Holby staircase

Apparently bristol staircases are the envy of the whole country

Better than a sandwich

So i tried my hand at a bit of a different lunch today following recipes from justbento.com. We have a salad with some green peas(not from the website at all just my fridge), some plain onigiri (which are not quite right but for my first time cooking japanese rice and making then they are not bad), some of that pickled radish which may be called daikon, some bite size teriyaki chicken(which do not quite taste right either as the marinade did not reduce correctly) and some sprinkles of sardine and pine nut furikake.It took rather a long time to do in total but it was a fun way to spend an evening.

Edit: It tasted pretty great too.

Cambridge education slump

Despite the grand reputation, the basics are not being covered

I have no memories of taking this

Bus stop ain't got no road

A man playing a guitar from within a bin

Pretty much what it sounds like. Cambridge can be an odd place

O potato tree

Come children, gather round the potato tree for a mug of warm spiced bovril and then straight off to bed so father potatomass will come and leave you root vegetable-based goods if you have been good this year

Pret team assemble!

"Okay men, it's the fifth quarter. The lord gave up these fine sandwiches and real Italian cups of coffee and by jingo it is up to us to sell them. We can do it team. And anybody who can't... Well I'll bust your arse back down to burgers flipping at McDonalds by closing"
