A lovely Tuesday

30 May 2006

The electrician came this morning and fixed the bedroom ceiling light, hooked up the bathroom exhaust fan and fixed the light in the spa room. While Jac was doing the homeowner/tradesperson liaison thing I sat in the study and marked essays. He was here for about an hour, and in the end all we had ...

Another meat pie

30 May 2006

Breakfast yesterday was a chunky steak pie from Aroma. I’m not really that keen on beef (whenever I go out I tend to order chicken or fish or pork – I’m just not really a red meat person), but I get a craving for a beefy meat pie once in a while. This pie was ...

Suit and boots

28 May 2006

I played dress-ups this evening before my burritos dinner. I put on my suit and the boots Jac bought yesterday. Even though they are definitely too big for me, they look really good! I walked around the house and showed Jac. She loves me in the brown suit (it almost has magical powers like Zoe’s ...

Sunday night dinner

28 May 2006

Jac decided to make chicken burritos for dinner tonight. She used one of those Old El Paso Dinner Kits. The filling was made with sliced chicken thighs and onions, with cheese and fresh lettuce and tomato. The onions were beautifully caramelised. The tomato got semi-cooked from being next to the hot chicken, and became very ...

Pizza brunch and the curse of the small-footed woman

27 May 2006

Alternative post title: “Lesbianism: Double your wardrobe and double your shoe-shopping competition”.
Jac has the next week off, so she’s in a very good mood. She hopes to potter around the house and garden, relax and watch dvds on the couch (no doubt snuggled up with the cats), take her nephew Max out bike riding and ...

Breakfast at the office

27 May 2006

I meant to post this earlier but got busy and sidetracked (nothing new there). On the same evening that she cooked the alfoil-wrapped fish and potato bake, Jac also panfried a couple of chicken thighs, simply rubbed with salt and pepper, for making sandwiches with. Unfortunately, as the chicken was frying I poked around the ...

Mid-week dinner

26 May 2006

This was dinner on Wednesday night. Jac made a potato bake, with lots of onions, a little bit of cheese and a teensy bit of soy milk.

She served the potato bake with shark filets, flavoured with herbs, loads of garlic and butter, and baked in the oven wrapped in foil. She baked me a tomato ...

Drawing the line

26 May 2006

I’m up at this cold, dark, crazy hour writing because I’ve decided not to exercise this morning on account of a sore left foot. It better not be Gout: The Return (it probably isn’t, it’s just that the soreness is around my toe joints where toes meet foot, and this reminded me of the gout ...

Long blinks = "It's sleep time!"

24 May 2006

I’m listening to the new Dixie Chicks album, Taking the Long Way. Jac was a Dixie Chicks fan way way before I was. But they have really grown on me. I listen to them all the time when I’m working at my desk in the office at uni and often have to fight the ...

Subjectless post featuring junk food

23 May 2006

So, as you’ve probably guessed from the multiple postings tonight, I finished the chapter. Well, it’s sort of finished – I know I will have to go back to it and fix a few um, shortcomings. I emailed it to my supervisor this afternoon, telling her I’d appreciate some suggestions/feedback. It ended up being 43 ...
