I got up at 7am this morning, got on a crowded train at 8, worked from 9 to 6.30, went for a quick drink, London Shitland was delayed on the way back, got home at 9.30! And now I’m knackered.
Going to London is overrated!
Yesterday I visited Beaufort Court a.k.a. the Kings Langley wind turbine, which is sited on the old Ovaltine chicken farm …


Solar powered train:

Chotto-chicken:




.. with fresh leaves from the garden.
I went to Bletchley Park today (Wikipedia page), home of the code-breaking efforts during World War II.
On my own!
They are starting to preserve the original nissen huts and later brick buildings like this one …

The rebuilt Colossus, arguably the first digital computer:

Captured Japanese codebooks:


They have their own Harrier:

and at the end of the day there was a fly-past by a WWII Hurricane:

I’ll have to take N-sama next time!
Not to mention the many and excellent Adam and Joe Toy parodies …
No really, the office!
Well, the view out of the back anyhow:

Best thing, just sitting by the garden all day watching the tiny birds.






Thinking about getting a duck island.

Celebrating the third anniversary of this blog, we went to Taste of India, a surprisingly good Indian restaurant in the village …


Nookie?

Today is the third anniversary of this blog. By some sort of dreadful anti-cosmic coincidence, it’s similar to the second anniverary.

.. not in the garden, because it’s bloody cold.



Lovely!








Too overcooked, unfortunately.
Today I made katsu curry-rice, which was just about perfect though.
Not sure about the whole message there, but anyhow … inspired by this advert, I bought a packet. 59p per packet, and they are quite tiny compared to the real pocky. Also the milk chocolate is horrible compared to the plain chocolate pocky they sell in Japan.
