and we're still alive, and muchly so... i was in charge of supper duty and overestimated the amount of noodles we needed so we have a bunch of it left for tomorrow - green beans and a couple of carrots and two chopped up prok sausages [have 8 of those for the week visiting 4 different meals as our week's meat, flip] and half an onion and half a packet of macaroni - and with [...]
in the bigger scheme of things today was a bit of a crappy day - i mean i am generally quite an easy-going guy and it takes quite a lot to piss me off or really ruin a day and as i sit here typing just before i go to bed, it's not like i feel this huge 'burden of the day' or anything - i still feel like it was a great day with [...]
so today was a breakfast of 50g Jungle Oats each [slept over at my folks house and they had 50g sachets so less than the 150g between us we were meant to, but was enough] for breakfast [little bit of butter, no sugar, sigh] then for lunch we feasted on a "soup" the beautiful val made altho it was more a stew than a soup with lentils, potato and butternut in and we had that [...]
that was the tagline i saw and i was curious while obviously mildly skeptical but flip, check it out - this is insane: clicking here and here will take you there but i know that you being who you are are going to be tempted to click here instead. why would you do that, it's the first two, really.
so this morning we had a third of a 500g portion of Jungle Oats between us with butter, no sugar [i whined!] and then for lunch we had two pieces of toast and a quarter of an avo each and then for supper we had two pieces of toast and an avo each [menu changed a little bit in terms of what's on what day cos we came thru to cape town so had to [...]
my good friend patrick of cordery sent me a link to the preach at the wedding of william and kate yesterday which i sadly missed due to not wanting to watch it... but i'm really glad he did cos the words of this are phenomenal and really worth checking out or going and taking a read through again in case you were watching but a bit too caught up by lady gaga's hat... this is [...]
so yesterday was one of those fun days when i posted what i thort was a random thort on some global happening and turns out it wasn't... not that i am new to this or very much surprised - from not joining the save the orangutang group on facebook which eventually [after much patient messaging and reasoning and trying to be nice] scored Justine from Australia the prize of being the first person i had [...]
so my beautiful wife Val wrote a cool blog which you should go read here and the bottom line of which is we are going to be taking the Live Below the Line challenge next week [may 2-6] her summary of it is here: "From May 2-6, I will be taking the Live Below the Line challenge. I will be living on the equivalent of 1 Pound a day, or R12. I am doing this [...]
where 'p' is for 'pain' there are three kinds of people in the world - those who are obsessed with the royal wedding happening in the uk today between william and kate and those who aren't [the third group being those fortunate enough to have no clue that it is happening, who i assume are the poor and marginalised because if you have a tv or computer you probably cannot avoid having had it thrust [...]
so i haven't been blogging here much lately - largely it's because tbV and i have been doing transcription work for the HSRC which takes up a lot of our time and involves a bigger lot of typing - listening to interviews on audio and typing them out and some of them are not very clear so it's a lot of focus and listening and scribing and so i guess i get a bit overtyped [...]
