Scatter My Data Day

Ten Points If You Got The "Riddley Walker" Reference
     Be prepared for a whole lot of photographs, Violetta.  A whole lot!

Firstly, We Have "Food" As Our Theme
     I bought a load of date-expired food yesterday.  Heck, Conrad has always felt that "Best By" is a challenge, not a warning.  First we have:






Smoked Salmon Shots
Then we have:
Polish Croquettes
Followed by:
The croquettes in question, cornered on a plate
 Then came:
Scotch Eggs

And then:
"Jogobella" is apparently Polish for "Extremely Cheap Strawberry Yoghurt"
What next?  Oh yes -



Before.  After.  Before.  After.
A 14" pizza.  For those of you who like metric, this means it barely fits in the oven.

The night isn't over yet, so I may have a bite more to consume, except you won't know until tomorrow.  Oh - did I mention the bottle of Lucozade, and the Orange Crush, and the pots of Russian Caravan Tea?

Conrad - no food goes to waste!

BEHOLD THE BED!
     Lo, for these many years past Conrad has needed to endure the indignities of a sofa-bed. A sofa-bed is convenient when you need space for your hyperspace transmission coil to be deployed, but it is frankly a pain in the bum when personal comfort is concerned.  Anyway, now that the invasion fleet is inbound from Alpha Centauri and doesn't need micro-managing, Conrad can have a proper bed.

Observe in envy at cosy well-appointed firm sleeping device:

Admire the emerald cushions, the very expensive mattress and enough storage room below for an ISBM*
Volcano Choir - Repave
     Forgive a middle-aged man posturing about how hip and trendy he is, but I really really like this CD, especially the first track and especially how it ends in a monster chord.  Rather like a couple of the Chemical Brothers tracks - "Denmark" and "Wonders Of The Deep", IIRC, and there's a Beatles track too <Mister Hand enters stage left to end any ennui-laden wallowing by PSMAM**>

** "Pear-Shaped Middle-Aged Man" thank you Mister Hand!
