Make sure it's a Mini adventure

While doing breakfast with my friend Conrad in Northwood today, I saw this Mini. Is it real or fake, I ask myself? To find out, check here. Fabulously clever.

"Shall we shut that door?"

Congratulations to my niece Hannah (21 mths old yesterday) on your first ever sentence!

Quite assertive for such a young lady really. A manager, definitely a manager...

Now playing. On my iPod.

I have slightly unusual tastes when it comes to music. Half of the stuff on my iPod (thanks Mum, Dad & Auntie again) isn't even music, it's sermony type talks.

* African live worship - from two Mozambican villages
* Coldplay - one album's worth of favourite hits
* Hillsong United - more conventional live worship (did I just equate 'Hillsong youth' with 'conventional'?!)
* Friends' albums: Susan Perks, Lifesize, Jenny Rose-Wilson & Tara Taylor
* TD Jakes - preacher extraordinaire
* Maroon 5
* 24-7prayer 'This Means War' album - I am LOVING it

Congrats to Jenny Wren on the acquisition, finally, of an iPod mini. Even though it's blue...?

One blog created 'every second'

Says the Beeb. Do we really have nothing better to do with our time?!

Mmmmmmmmmmmm......

I've been enjoying Abel & Cole deliveries for over 6 months now. Their produce is organic, seasonal, not air-freighted, fresh, diverse, tailored to your tastes, affordable and delivered free to your door.

Last week's strawberries were so sweet they gave the fruit a whole new meaning for me. They were ripe, red and so sweet it was as if they'd been marinated in sugar. Simply gorgeous.

Tonight, I tucked into a juicy, melt-in-the-mouth, hedgehog-cut mango. And I thought I don't like mangos.

(Perhaps they were in fact the Jerusalem Artichokes or something? I'm new to all this.)

I go for a small mixed box, for just under a tenner, once a fortnight. This week's delivery included Pac Choi - just in time for the Chinese meal I'm having when most of the family come around on Saturday for lunch.
