Went to a farewell party on Friday for a friend who's moving to Barbados with his girlfriend to work there, the shenanigans after the party (including a blank where I walked two miles in three hours and redirecting a taxi from home to a house to steal a friend's vodka) meant I left town at 6:48am on my first bus, got home, died from a truly awful hangover, struggled back to life 4pm Saturday, went out just to meet some other friends and not drink, left them to go home, got redirected again to a club and then a house with tons of booze, got utterly wankered again, left town on a bus at 9am, got home, and didn't have a hangover. Truly this has been a great weekend.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

A Dance with motherfuckin' DRAGONS.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Actually, it is Ipswich

The hospital is very good to its staff, it has all the areas that he is considering specialising in and the location works well since we plan on buying a rural property at some stage.

The cherry sauce I made on friday is officially awesome. And while I am still debating whether turning it down was a good move or not, I was offered a threesome on saturday by the girl I was making out with.

OK. It's a dessert sauce, but depending on the seasoning you could make it work with duck or a paté, too.
So, take a load of cherries (anywhere between 200g to half a kg), get the stones out (aka chop them in half), half a litre of red wine (or port), add sugar ( I prefer spooning it in while I stir) & heat.

Additions: perhaps a stick of cinamon, a clove or even bay leaf could work (make sure to remove these well in advance or they'll be overbearing).

Keep cherries & wine boiling moderately until the alcohol is gone, then just keep it hot enough to reduce the sauce until it becomes really syrupy (took me around 90 minutes). Filter (or not). You can use the remains of the cherries as a compote-like thing, they should be full of winy goodness and sweet, but the syrup/ sauce alone is awesome to go with anything chocolaty, vanilla/ yoghurt ice cream or, perhaps, belgian waffles. If you do it as prep, seal the sauce and keep it warm au bain marie.

Did my 2 presentations today with a load of 11 yr olds and 17 yr olds who are applying for uni over the next few months. It actually went really well and gave me good experience for my aim of being a secondary school teacher.

Also I graduate tomorrow

. I put my cap and gown on earlier. I kept on saying 'Na na na na na na BATMAN' for obvious reasons and cant wait to do it 2moro.

All in all a good day.

I have no idea why, if it was him and two girls he's a madman and if it was him a girl and a dude, well, that's what the spitroast-high five maneuver is for.
