potions and stuff

Went to Harry Potter 3: Good clean fun.

That Hermione is... far to young for an almost 23 year old to find cute in anything other than the big eyed puppy dog sense of the word cute.

I got a bit confused though. Why were those two…? And did he mean to…? And what was with the…? When did she…? Would it help to have seen the second movie first?

This is kinda funny. Or maybe not.

Anyway, it was worth going to just to hear the double double toil and trouble Choir... and Emma Thompson was cool.

Also went to the food show yesterday. See, now that I am actually getting paid to cook for people going to food shows counts as research. I sampled everything from Sauvignon Blanc to ginger beer, liquorice allsorts to chili chocolates, a few soups, pastas and stirfries, and dozens of different olive oils, duccahs, pestos and aiolis. Left feeling as though I’d had a decent lunch, and with my pockets filled with enough little packets of breakfast cereal, chocolate and herbal teas to last me the next week. Yay free stuff. I bought stuff too though. I bought some tea which is a blend of lemon grass, kawakawa, calendula flowers and ginger. Mmmmm. And some tropical fruit and chili sauce.

It’s damn cold.

Exams are over but I still feel nervous.

My mum sent me a huge bag of dried home grown apples.

And Timmy, the gnome that a family friend made for me when I was small (apparently he was feeling lonely in the cupboard back home).

I'd give anything for a New Zealand apple. All they have in Ireland is deedle-dee-dee potatoes. At least they try to serve them with some variety.

You're nearly 23? Same as me? Why do I always think you're a couple of years older than me?
