Sardines & Beer
The last two weeks have been unbelievably hectic and I'm only now finding the space to sit down and actually relax. Hence being a bit slow to blog about it.
On Wednesday, I decided I'd been big and brave enough by myself and met up with Nicola, my art mentor for some gentle hand holding and reassurance. I'm glad I did. She reminded me of how far I've come, complimented me on the quality of the work, its presentation and my preparation.

I like cold food.I'm a real dust-cart at night-times, eating up most of the 'leftovers'! I know. Sad!!
ReplyDeletedickiebo ~ I've been known to eat cold curry for breakfast (no pregnancy involved).
ReplyDeleteI've found that cold pizza is nicer if it is cheaper pizza. Pizza Hut is fine the next day but posher stuff from places that use wood-fired ovens has to be eaten while hot.
ReplyDeletesanddancer ~ posher than Pizza Hut? Does Sainsbury's count? They always say it's woodfired, stone baked, some such shite. It didn't taste too bad...
ReplyDeleteCold, day old pizza has quite often formed the basos of my breakfast the following day.
ReplyDeleteI say breakfast. Sometimes it's lunch, supper, mid-morning snack ...
