So Steve, what did you do with your week off work?

Oh bugger, I was afraid you’d ask me that. Certainly I wasn’t blogging much. I spent a lot of time staring vacantly at this computer screen whilst marshalling my energy for an intense period of beard growing.

You’ve grown a beard?

What’s all this ‘you’ business? Who do you think you are? Yes, I’ve grown a beard. Started off as laziness, then Lettice decided she liked it and now my puny razor couldn’t get rid of it if I tried. [update] - Just for gleet, a beardy icon.

Surely even you (I, whatever, get a life) couldn’t spend a whole week just growing a beard?

Well, Tom H is over here from Singapore so there was beer and curry. Somehow I got lost between Liverpool Street Station and Williams Wine & Ale House -it’s a two minute walk. Don’t ask. Anyway, they had a barrel of Ruddles behind the bar and the evening went very well. At eleven o’clock we staggered down the road to the Bengal Trader for a curry. Not sure they really wanted to still be open, and not sure we got what we actually ordered, but it was still very tasty.

Oh my, look at the Bengal Trader web site. Not just text done as graphics, but individual lines of text or even words done as individual graphics. That’s scary. Ha! <meta name="Generator" content="CorelDRAW8">

And then on Thursday, we won the celebrity pub quiz. Once again, I have no idea who the “celebrity” host was but who cares? They’ve moved from bottles of Cava to cash for the prizes, which is a very good thing. So, pub quiz tally for the year: entered five, won four.

The rest of the week was spent in studied idleness.

Whatever happened to your Doctor Who reviews?

Oh bugger. Next post. Promise.

Very True Mood:  cheerful
