A mini review – Where the Wild Things Are

Where the Wild Things Are (2009)

This film was a birthday present way back in July, and only now have we managed to get the thing into the DVD player It takes us a while!!! But it was certainly worth the wait… One of those awfully sweet films based around the workings of a  small boy’s troubled mind. Had me thinking back to my own childhood & had me thinking about what really goes on inside Sawyer’s little head a times (I dread to think!!!). Overall, a very, very sweet little film indeed.

Wedding ring gone!!!

I’m not sure I can actually write this post. I just feel totally numb… But here goes.

Last night I bought a new headlight bulb for our car. This morning I went to fit it, but as it’s a car, nothing is ever straight forward!!! For starters you can’t access the main headlight bulb on our Citroen C5 without first removing the battery. It was also bitingly cold this morning, which is always a joy when working on a car Eventually I hauled the heavy battery out & removed the headlight cover. I then fiddled about for ages before finally . . . → Read More: Wedding ring gone!!!

Tinkering…

Just to warn you… I’m having quite a tinker with this website at the moment, just in case you notice anything strange or peculiar. I’m re-jigging the Gallery section of this site and I’m in the process of setting up an online store for my artwork. Most of this I can play with off-line, but some of it is already out there, live & unfinished Do bear with me…

Pumpkin & tandoori spiced bread…

It’s taken a while to post this, but here goes…

So, with a Halloween party to prepare for, we raided the local shops of most of their pumpkins and set to work…

Rather pleased with my carving, we then had the problem of what to do with an absolute mountain of pumpkin? A huge amount went into a rather nice paneer & pumpkin dal, while another batch went into a lovely, sticky pumpkin cake. But we still had loads left… ‘Oh I’ll make some bread with it’ and off I went in search of a recipe.
