Cereals that float, aint they annoying? I don't normally stray from Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, but sometimes, just sometimes, I fancy a change. I don't mind the odd box of Honey Nut Loops but their major flaw is the fact that the fuckers float on th emilk. No I like gallons of milk on my cereal, I watch the adds where they put a tiny splash on and can't understand how anyone could mke that much milk last the distance. I like my cereal covered in milk. But pouring out a big gbowl of Honey Nut Loops and filling with milk means they float and then start dropping over the edges. you don't get that with Crunchy Nuts, nice and solid. The worst offender for floating are Sugar Puffs, you have to try and weigh them down by pouring the milk over as many of them as you can before they start spilling over the sides and down the sides of kitchen cabinets. A lad at work introduced me to a new cereal yesterday. It's only available in health food shops and he got it from Holland & Barrat's. It's called 'fru-grain'. It has a box design that clearly hasn't changed in at least 20 years and the stuff looks like pieces of bark. But he'd had quite an addiction to it and implored me to at least try a piece, despite the grim appearance. And fuck me if it wasn't delicious. Made from dates, prunes and various cereals (but all magically formed into these bark pieces, it doesn't physically have bits of prune bobbing around, that would be shit) and looks to be pretty bloody good for you, so I shall be investing in a box soon.
Went out for a couple of drinks with some lads from work last night, quite an enjoyable time all told. We saw the girl behind the bar who we have hired as our new secretarial type girl. She has all sorts of qualifications but has just been working in a bar all this time. A degree in Interior Design, for fucks sake. So she should bring a bit more life to the office, will be good having a new face in after so many departures. My boss popped out of the pub for a bit because he was hungry and came back with some very curious oddities. Chicken, on a stick. Apparently it was proper chicken breast just stuck on a lolly stick and came in a lolly type packaging. Made me feel quite ill seeing it, just seemed....odd. I had to get on the train without a ticket as the machine was on 'correct money only' mode. I was only 10p over and wasnt arsed about the 10p, but of course, no options for that, just flat rejected. But the barriers were open, so I felt like a true rebel getting the train for 2 stops without a ticket.
I'm going off round the park today to take lots of pictures of trees for this tree photoshopping job I have next week, some ideal material round the woods round here so that will make for a pleasant little wander later on. But first I have to face grim old sainsbury's to do my weekly shop....urgh.
