Walnut cake and Frankfurters


Inspired by the lists on other blogs, e.g. the Urban Woo’s., I’ve made my own:
Hideous minor celebrity I fancy and feel deeply ashamed about (and repulsed by myself in consequence): Dennis Waterman (I didn’t mean to fancy him. I had one of those awful, creepy dreams after watching him by accident on TV.)
Favourite cake (if not allowed squishy chocolate) : walnut and coffee.
Strangeish meal I eat when completely miserable, which always perks me up: frankfurters with lime pickle.
My lucky underwear is: a boned, zebra-print set (with yellow lace edging – ugh) that I got in a moment of sale-madness years ago. Got a wonderful job offer while wearing it, also was wearing it when Michael’s secretary rang with offer of dinner. It is incredibly naff and uncomfy, so I only ever wear it when everything else is in the wash.
Most horrible recent sensation: last Thursday, when I accidentally tipped some pommes dauphinoises into a hairy rug, and then had to comb it out with my fingers. While the kitten rode on my head, trying to be helpful.
Part of a politician that most annoys me: David Cameron’s puffy cheeks.
Thing I hate most about this summer: having to wear sweaters. Also, the way the milk still keeps going off in the fridge (the way it does in hot summers –why is that?).
What animal would I most like to see a comical youtube film about?: polar bear. Wish there were far more polar bear films on there.

Cow has no idea what lime pickle is but thinks it sounds good.

As well as the stripey underwear, which are definitely a luck magnet.

Moo!
