Oh such a book - and some other stuff less perfect.

• Talking of books.. I'm reading this at the moment.
  and it's beautiful. Not a huge amount of text to be fair, but stunning, heartbreaking photographs.
  
  
• I made - which was a triumph of taste if not of pastry - which I made much too short and crumbly. I ended up squishing it into place rather than rolling it (and only having a wine bottle for a rolling pin may have hindered me a little!) but it was delicious and pretty (in a rustic kind of way)
  
  
• and Which was a glorious concoction of chopped eating apple, lemon juice and dates, with hazlenuts chopped into the crumble. Completely made up, really crunchy and lucious!
  
  
• It's really quite cold at the moment and 'they' have promised us snow by the weekend
  
  
• Tomorrow I am going to a pantomime that doesn't have Starsky in it This feels very wrong, and makes me pine ever more so for the proper panto and Paulie. The panto tomorrow has Colin Baker and Davros(?)in it. I'm not sure what story they will be telling.
  
  
• I watched Strangers with Candy (the movie) last night and it was... kind of awful, but also kinda compelling. It had Stephen Colbert in it, who I didn't know I liked at all, but kind of did. Plus some other very dire people. It was.. slightly hypnotic and did leave me, despite myself, wanting more. Hmm.

Colin Baker as in Doctor Who Colin Baker? WHEEEEEEE! :D

And had you never seen the Strangers with Candy series before the movie? Amy Sedaris (and her brother David) have a very interesting sense of humor...and they were raised right here in North Carolina, so it's kinda funny because their humor is unlike our humor.

Yes it's *that* Colin Baker - alas I was a very sporadic watcher of Old who and CB was never one of 'my' doctors.

No, I'd never seen Strangers with Candy the series - it's not available to rent only the filkm, so I popped that on the list - it was... as I said, strangely compelling.

Panto without Starsky in it????? WHAT IS THIS STRANGELY WRONG AND POINTLESS IDEA? Hm.

Ooh, food pretty:)

I know - it is a wrong wrong thing (and only strengthens my desire to return to the world of REAL and PROPER panto!)
