The joy of a proper cup of coffee, a properly cooked piece of fish and a salad. A salad never tasted so good! A week or two of fast food in the past 'till next year. Xmas holiday starts now!
Spending £20 in TKMax 6 years ago on a pair of insulated snow boots (reduced from ~£90) and being able to walk round at the moment with lovely warm toes!
I've done that when I've been out sediment coring on the Mersey Estuary in the winter (before the above mentioned boots that is)!
I went for a 2 hour walk in my nice warm boots the other day, wearing only a thin pair of thermal sock liners and had lovely warm toes. I love my boots! Oh, and before your mind heads straight for the gutter, I was wearing a thermal t-shirt, a thermal top, a down jacket, thermal leggings and jeans on the rest of me.
People who are full of themselves, have terrible attitude, are insulting, or have the high ad mighty princesses behavior going. To sum it up, it's the majority of the kids in my grade that annoy me. Especially when they think they are tough and know how to fight from watching UFC.
Tormenting vegetarians[1] and homophobes! While hanging out backstage at a performance of the Nutcracker my ballet school is putting on, a young lad was helping move the props around, and using his position to order some of the young ladies around... they complained to me, and I went up to him, placed an arm around him, and in my sweetest voice said "I love you man!" His response was to look at me with a mixture of annoyance and repulsion, saying "You're either entirely gay or entirely insane... I'm going to go with entirely insane."
Then later, there was a bucket of fried chicken that had been used as a stage prop, for the dancers to eat... I was polishing off the leftovers when a young lady approached me, saying "You're eating that? Others have touched it!" I continued feasting, responding, "Yes, and it's delicious." She informed me with passion that she, a vegetarian, would never consider devouring such crap. Another young lady came up and asked excitedly, "Is that chicken?" and took a piece... and vegetarian gal started lecturing: "They rip the poor chicken's head off! And then its legs! And stuff it in the oven!" Meanwhile, the second girl is just listening, looking at the chicken... and I butted in with, "and they fry it and batter it and make it delicious!" At that, the girl with the chicken popped it into her mouth while looking at vegetarian gal... who stormed off in a huff. *cue evil laugh*
[1] I have nothing against vegetarians, I've met some perfectly normal ones.
Reminds me of when I was at uni and someone of whichever religion it is that dislikes pigs came into the flat. My diet in first year was about 75% bacon sarnies (15% alcohol, 10% coffee) so you can tell how the conversation went. She definitely didn't like me when I said that my dad had been a butcher for 16 years
While I'm here - southerners trying to cope with snow Always funny watching the numpties on the news who think that half a mil of snow means they're housebound
Going for a walk with the dogs at 10:30 last night.
Across an entirely frost encrusted field.
The night was so clear and the full moon was so bright the field shimmered like it was covered in tiny christmas lights.
Almost like the little stars you get in your vision when you're nearly KO'd (to give it a martial arts slant).
Magical.
