1. I joined Google+. It's mildly irritating in the same way as Facebook. Does this bode well for its future? I have no idea. I loved Google Wave, and look what happened to that.
2. There's a new Waitrose just down the road from my flat. Delicious microwave meals and patronising semi-assembled recipes in boxes ahoy! It's probably a good thing I don't live here any more. My Granny used to shop in Waitrose but she only ever bought discounted things. She didn't believe in sell-by dates, occasionally with spectacular results.
3. If you're in Cambridge at the weekend, buy a pork pie from the market on Saturday (from the butcher's opposite M&S) and on Sunday, cakes from Tom's cakes.
4. Tomorrow I go back to Devon. I'm looking forward to meeting Kinetic, who spends a lot of time chasing the chickens, apparently. I'll try to post some video to make up for the sad Kenelm news.

Poor Kenelm, I suppose that's the reality of animal husbandry, and better for them to have human intervention than wait for nature to take its eventual course.
ReplyDeleteI was in fact in Cambridge at the weekend, but too busy attending my brother's wedding to stock up on pork pie and cake, although cake was involved so I didn't miss out.
I'm a bit scared of Google+, I'm not sure it's a good thing to have one's social circles codified. (In reality my main objection is that I'm jealous of everyone who's managed to get on.)
Hurray for cake! I hope the wedding all went well.
ReplyDeleteI'm not convinced re: Google+. But if you want an invite theoretically I have some -- e-mail me at rebecca DOT rushforth AT gmail DOT com. Someone told me he'd seen a graphic where someone turned the circles into Dante's circles of hell, which sounds quite cool. I think that the people you follow don't get to know the name of the circle you've put them in.
