I love mashed potato! →
This links you to a wonderful article about mashed potatoes, different approaches to the process, the varying outcomes when using different potatoes and tips on how to get the best mash.
I’ll be honest with you, I love a good mashed potato but I’m pretty basic with it. A fair amount of Lurpak, a little milk and some salt is all I ever want to add. I like it mashed well so it’s...
I'm at my desk before 09:00
Spooning instant coffee into a plastic mug with a wooden spoon.
It’s going to be one of those days.
I just watched Inglorious Basterds.
I’ve been meaning to for quite a while, I’ve heard lots of positives about it and a few negatives so I was quite looking forward to it. It’s also not a coincidence that I find time at some point to watch a film that stars Daniel Brühl.
I’d been skipping over the tumblr posts that involved scenes from the movie because I didn’t want it to give anything away. I’m...
It's Mother's Day!
And I love my Mum more than anything. I’ve already gotten all blog schmultzy over her back in September when it was her birthday. But I don’t think it hurts for me to say more than once how strong, kind and compassionate she is. Because she really is.

Colleague: “One of my students has misspelled Gulf War, ‘golf’ war”.

Controversial post of the day:
At least once a day something about Metric ends up on my tumblr dashboard. This means that I should probably like them, right? Well the first thing I ever heard Metric do was a cover of Between the Bars and I disliked it so much I really haven’t been able to give them a chance since. I think I’ll stick with The Cardigans thanks.
