The Boy has made pizza dough that needs a 24 hour prove and I'm genuinely frightened it might eat the fridge tonight.

Lastly the blurb from TOR.UK.

Aaaaand here's the UK version. Gone for less Tim Burton more a classic 1930s feel which I also love and fits the book really well as it's a whodunnit.

I love them both.

Well, Kid Kapichi at the Key Club were brilliant. Boy was amazed by them.

Spent most of this weekend helping MrsRJ with her new project. A table. It will look incredible when it's done. Here is a sneaky corner.

That might be my phone tidying it up as it was ultra ultra zoomed in. This is a bit less (but not much tbh.)

Finally got a picture of the Buzzard (I think) who lives in the woods opposite.

Someone's wrist will ache after signing all those tip in sheets. Sucks to be the...

Made a new friend in the first class lounge. I shall call him Cheese Nose.

Excellent.

Please, relax and enjoy this print of a Hyacinth Macaw, we call him Watson Doins.

Just finished this. An incredible book. One of the best detective stories I've ever read.

Absolutely massive lack of hangover from knocking back seven shots in the temperance bar and getting absolutely sobered yesterday.

Current read. Robert Crais is an incredible writer. Lots of writers are really good, but some manage to just leap off the page at you. Love his work, also wildly jealous.

Today we have been on a trip to Mr Fitzpatrick's, Britains only remaining temperence bar. It's in Rawtenstall. Well worth a visit.

Said to me. "I know you're not a practical man but even you probably realise this isn't up to code." (Our builder had me down pretty quick.)

Having a coffee in the Toastermouse cop the boy made me. MrsRJ made a prawn toothbrush holder and a Samuel Whisters.
