Saturday was Guy Fawkes Night and the birthday of the Missus. We had a quiet day indoors. I tried to capture some fireworks with my camera, but it didn’t quite work out. Instead, I caught a flash of yellow light. I’m not sure if it is a firework or the streetlights in the distance. Looks cool and very arty though:

We’ve got a new game at Chez Lock. It goes something like this: the Missus chooses a recipe from a book or newspaper, buys the ingredients and I cook it. Yesterday, it was Jamie Oliver’s “Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Hotpot”.

Don’t worry – it tasted very nice. The secret ingredient was plenty of cider to give it some kick. Oh yes!
Look at this. This picture is a picture of the dirt and dust from under our marital bed. God we live like heathen slobs. Great, ain’t it?!!?!?!

And finally, the obligatory “aaah, ain’t he cute shot” of Alex the Wonderdog. He seems to get all the comments these days, so here’s the little blighter doing what he does so well…sleeping. Trust me, this is what he does 98% of the time when he ain’t grumbling for food or taking a constitutional in the garden.

Today, I left the house early to walk to the local Woolworths to purchase the new Kate Bush album “Aerial”. I am currently listening to it as I type. It’s very good and I am enjoying it a lot. Her best album since “The Hounds of Love”.
Also, tackling chapter 14 of “Dead Rock Star” and I have decided is what the occult really needs is a children’s pop-up book of total evil and damnation.
