Its getting good and cold, even in London, and I think that I might have to break out my log tweed coat, after its had a dry clean, to provide some much needed snug warmth. If I do start wearing it I have to bear in mind that its a nightmare to lug about on the tube – if you wear it you lose 3 pounds in sweat each journey (might not be such a bad move seeing as I’m overweight but…) or I carry it which is not easy cus its heavy, bulky and things fall out the pockets. Of course, if I get a seat then all’s good but I can’t bet heavily on this rank outsider.

The office is very cold as well, it is double glazed but there’s no heating and the building is fairly old and drafty. And seeing as all I do all day is sit and type there’s not much blood circulation help there – more trips to the kitchen for tea will sort this out – always a good idea. Wonder how cold it will get in a few months time. brrr….

Just finished a great lunch of pasty, chicken something and lettuce sandwhich and a Sainsbury’s little pot of gooseberry fool – the best pudding you can buy for 35p, absolutley stunning – better with some kind of choclate to dunk in it – where’s my twirl bar?… aha.

Off to watch the Departeded later, can’t imagine it’ll be anywhere near as good as Goodfellas or Casino but expect that it’ll be much more enjoyable than Gangs of New York, which I liked but didn’t love.

Saw a few Halloween films last few days;

Halloween – ace, jumpy, smart and kept imagining that Donald Pleasence was about to speak to camera and say; “and thats why you shouldn’t have sex”.
The Omen – daddy of the genre turns out to be not much cop all in all – satan goes to the zoo is fun but not as good as End Of Days
Rosemary Baby – now we’re talking – very creepy – very good – playing on the fears of women everywhere in a really nasty way and yet it manages to be a really good guessing game right up until the last few minutes – well, unless you know the plot – I thought that it would be left ambigous and felt a wee bit cheated but still, I really enjoyed it.

the twirl bar…wasn’t sure people still ate them. i remember when i was a kid, went to ireland, before twirls were available in the uk they had them there, and my aunt worked at the cadbury’s factory in coolock. well. you can imagine, to a 12 year old it was like being given the secret key to the pyramids or something. i miss cadbury’s.

American chocolate’s not up to much then?
Do they do bars?

I suggest trying to get a cadbury’s hamper sent across in time for thanksgiving – maybe with a tub of bovril and some sausages thrown in. I say this but I have no idea what food Americans have and what they dont…
