0072: NIGELLA LAWSON





I love how much she loves food. She cops a lot of stick about the way she does things, but I think she's fab. When I watch her, because she is so delighted to be cooking and eating, it makes me happy - even if I get a bit hungry too. I love that she makes simple food that you can actually cook at home, and that she really does not care if her food is rich, creamy and delicious, because honestly, we all know that that is exactly what we want. You go Nigella!!

0071: MUSIC FESTIVALS


People in great clothes, bands you've never heard before, food, colours and of course, amazing (and not so amazing) live music. At the Folky last night, I had the best time with Papa Pilko and the Binrats - like the Blues Brothers times six - and Fun Machine's Hungarian Disco Party - woah, woah.

0070: CHESS


The game of champions. Strategy, bluffs, poker faces, eventual brain damage.

0069: YOUTUBE



Those silly videos like the panda sneezing, the animals of youtube singing _ or Gangnam Style, it is all quite good at cheering you up. Just then, I watched the 100th episode of the Lizzie Bennet Diaries - a modern, online adaption of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. WARNING- highly addictive. Just by the way, I'm not obsessed with Jane Austen, it just seems that things in my life have been Austen-y lately.

0068: SOUP


Soup, soup
A-tasty soup, soup
A-spicy carrot and coriander
Chilli chowder
Crouton, crouton
Crunchy friends in a liquid broth
I am gazpacho, oh
I am a summer soup, mmm
Miso, miso
Fighting in the dojo
Miso, miso
Oriental prince in the land of soup.

I don't think there's any soup I don't like. It's all so tasty and homely. My Ukrainian g-mama's borsch has to be my favourite, though.

0067: SLIPPERS


My tootsies are snug as a bug in a rug. Slippers are small luxuries, but they have a great effect. Squishy, snugly, cosy, fluffy or just plain cute; I love 'em all.

0066: CANDLES


They are just great. When you walk into a candle shop and it smells so good. When you explore the different scents and find those horrible ones and gag. By the by, I found a cannabis candle today :) OH! And those candles that are so yummy you nearly eat them. I think candles are just so fantastic, that it was the only thing that could contend with a cake on somebody's birthday.

Or perhaps your into religious practises or like performing rituals and spells, an I'm down with that too.
