Nearly forgot!
Poll #1421403
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: AllWho should go?
Personally, I quite like Halfwit, but am looking forward to the tensions with the whole Noirin thing. I would have liked to see that play out with Halfwit in the house, given his misconceptions, but never mind.

Don't forget to vote
Dear BNP
thankyou for your recent communication. I am very glad to see your thanks for Polish efforts in WWII. I, too think this is long overdue. We must never forget how many Polish lives were lost in the struggle for our freedom. It's very nice to see this welcome of our Polish neighbours to the EU
no love,
person who knows that's a Polish spitfire on your leaflet.

Shoes
So, does the rule about no white shoes after Labour day apply to Labour day itself or the bank holiday? I mean, today's the bank holiday, which would have given me an extra 3 days of wearing white shoes if I followed that rule.
In other news, Judith rolled over! I really thought she was going to be walking first, she's showed so little sign of rolling.

YUmmy snacks.
Once a week, we get a yummy snack box delivered. It tends to consist of one dish of fresh fruit, one of fruit and one of nuts or seeds, but sometimes it's a fruit and nut mix. It's been a fair 2:1:1 mix of things we really like, things we like a little bit, and things we'd like to try, over the course of the 15 boxes we've had. The last two boxes, we had one with orange and grapefruit, dried apple, apricot & cranberries, and a sort of seed mix with sultanas labelled 'granola mix, and one with red and white grapes, hazelnuts almonds and walnuts, and dried blackcurrants. Oh, and about 1 box in 5 has something a little less healthy, like chocolate covered fruit, honey-coated nuts, or rice crackers.
The point of this is, if you like nutritious snacks for your day, they come through the post, to home or work, whichever you want, and you can get a free box by going to graze.com and entering this code: 82653HK
(If you subsequently decide you want to keep having boxes, I get one discounted box, too)

Cherry Blossom
Someone recently was asking about cherry blossom. Both our local cherry varieties are in bloom now; the sweet, eating one was earlier than the jam one.
I have a blossom question of my own. I was under the impression that my greengage and Victoria plum trees should cross-pollinate. My greengage has lots of blossom, but the Victoria plum has none yet, not even buds. Is this an indication that my plum tree is dead? If not, how will they cross-pollinate if they don't flower at the same time?
(Both my blueberries blossomed at the same time last year, and this year only the one I thought was dead has bloomed so far, so maybe it's a freak something or other)

Cookbook project
Those of you who follow will be astonished to learn that I have completed the first fifth of my cookbook project. The reward for this is that I get to buy a cookbook, and I had planned to buy a Columbian cookbook. However, the book I had in mind has sold out. This is where you come in....
FWIW, I have a reasonable representation from European countries, and also from Asian. I have only one American book, and the whole of Africa is conspic by its a, which seems an error. (Actually, there are some African recipes in my Middle Eastern book, which was written by an Egyptian, and also in the Madhur Jaffrey world book of vegetarian cook, which is a fabulous book and I heartily recommend it. but Africa is big. Also, there's a Desmond Tutu pan-African book which seems like a good thing, to be encouraged.)
Poll #1369429
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: AllWhich should I buy? Furthermore...
Comments, of course, entirely welcome.
TIA.

A couple of weeks ago, I pbought some things from Japan Centre
This was after ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) skorpionuk mentioned them.
I bought some very lovely cakes and some red bean paste (the main reason for my order) but also a tamagoyaki pan and some sushi moulds. They didn't have the tamagoyaki pan I ordered, so I got a lovely email from a real person explaining and asking whether I wanted a different one. I like that.
Then the stuff came and it was all good, and I've just tried out the sushi moulds and I have lovely coherent sushi for approximately the first time ever! Hurray for sushi moulds :)
So, in general - good stuff, would buy again.

Sleep
Judith slept ten hours last night! She went to sleep at 10, and then I thought she was going to wake up at 5:30 as usual, but instead she fell back into a deeper sleep (and I went back to sleep) and she didn't wake up until 8!
Long may this continue :)
She was tired out from yoga (which I hadn't quite expected her to enjoy as much - she loves it, giggles away like anything) so I don't expect as much tonight (unless I do a session with her on my own maybe).

Sleep!
Judith slept for 7 hours in a row last night! That's the first time she's gone that long, I'm hoping it's a good sign.
She was really cheerful when she woke up, too :)

The trouble with hiring games off the internet
is that they don;t come with the manual.
I know that Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has a multiplayer option, but I can' work out how to play it. Daft, huh?
