The sun is out, the sky is blue...

...it's beautiful, and so are you, dear Prudence.

YEAH! Sunshine! Oh, but it's wonderful - we've been underneath a big cloud for about a month. And the roads for today and yesterday (both really sunny) were completely clear. This irritates me since it blatantly means that there's a lot of people walking on these nice days, which in turn means that the big traffic jam I always get stuck in is largely made up out of people who don't need to be driving. I always walk anywhere that's walking distance so long I have time, and walked to work every day when I was at the paper - so much better for you, and free! Laziness, that's what it is. Rrrr.

Oh, another Big Up to Hubs, who last night made a smashing Spag Bol - knocked it up a notch by putting dried chilli in there. Mmmm! I'm hooked on Chilli at the moment, I could eat it with anything!

Chilli and me: A clarification.

No, I'm not preggers. *Points downwards to 'Period Pain giving me Gyp' post of a couple of days ago*. I've just gone Ker-azy for me Chilli lately - realised how tasty it is with sweet things when I had some chilli fudge a couple of years back, and then KittyKat introduced me to chilli chocolate pudding (Nigella's recipe, apparently, although every time she serves the stuff I immediately suggest that both Kat and I leave our Hubbies and elope together. I'm certain I could aquaint myself with Sapphic LadyLady Love if there were enough pudding on offer). And now I know I like it in Bol Sauce. I've got the taste for it now and cooked up a lovely black pepper and chilli stirfry with baby courgettes tonight. MMMMMM!!! I've also fallen in love with baby courgettes, BTW.

Spice is nice. Spice is nice... I like it so that it makes my hairline sweat. That's my endurance limit. I have no idea why I have become so fond of something that is, let's face it, an Irritant, but I suppose that's just me.

In non-food related news, I just had a phone call from my best bud from School - haven't seen her since the wedding, and *that* was the first time we'd met in years (she's still in Mighty Mighty Ilson, about 4 hours drive away) but she's down in Kent on Mon so I get to go out to tea with her. Woo, Come On!
