It would appear the internet I had ready set up in the new flat was cancelled by the old tenants. Can’t say I blame them, athough it would have been nice if the estate agents had mentioned something. Tonight I am posting from Goon’s flat, 5 minutes from Covent Garden Market, where we have just been shopping. We had some more oysters and fizzy, then I went haywire and bought some spicy salami, some pecorino, olive oil and balsamic syrup. After tasting the salami and cheese, Goon decided he wanted sausages and something cheese related for dinner, so I went and bought some additional good quality pork sausages and red onion chutney and we are now waiting on some hot dogs with smoked paprika wedges for dinner, while nibbling on the salami and pecorino.
It took us 40 minutes to work out how Goon’s new grill worked. This is why my gas cooker rocks, even if I’m paying more than Goon to live in zone 2.
I also bought Goon a cake from Lavender Bakery. I ate most of it. This is why I don’t make cakes: I would end up the size of a house.
Due to internet setup times I may be away for a week or so. No matter, it will give me time to sort out the interesting fungus growing on my new kitchen’s window. Ah, the joy of renting….
See you soon!

Thanks for reminding me that I need to arrange broadband in my new rented property in Yorkshire. Right now I have no kitchen, Ros, as I’m replacing it completely for the benefit of my new tenants. Ah, the joy of renting…

Hi Ros!
You may not get this in time, but I didn’t receive your number. Anyhoo, I had an e-mail with your number in it from the BBC food meet, so if you haven’t changed it since May ‘07 (!) I’ll send you a cheeky text when I’m heading down there.
