Ipod generation

We've just joined the 'Ipod Generation' with the arrival of our Ipod photo...I am broadly using the words 'we' and 'our' in the vain attempt that it will sink in and I will be able to fully share the new toy with Peter! (He is already convinced that it is mine!)
Anyway, since it arrived before Easter I have slowly been adding music to it...I did add some photos too..but I think they need to be edited and rotated before they become interesting to other people! My mum did seem impressed with the slideshow on Easter Monday...

Rhubarb update

Well, I finally got some rhubarb (from Sainsbury's). Unfortunately it didn't quite live up to expectations...or maybe I shouldn't have eaten it just before bed...maybe I overcooked it....either way, I don't think Junior thought much of it. I think I'll be sticking to the Rhubarb yoghurts...

Miles Mendoza's Website of the day

Whilst I don't like to admit that I listen to Radio 2, after all it is a sign of aging...Mile Mendoza came up with a goodie today...Pi-tag This site provides a service where you can tag your life securely. Free luggage, keys, pet, mobile, laptop tagging. I guess it would come in extremely useful if you have a habit of moving around a lot and it would also save writing out those pesky luggage tags which can become detached fromyour luggage. I think some more investigation is required...

Mix your own Dr Who theme....

Without wanting to jump on the Doctor Who bandwagon...this truly is fun! BBC- Doctor Who - Radiophonatron You can play and mix your own version of the Dr Who theme...Hooray for the Radiophonic Workshop (that was)! I think my favorite sounds on the Radiophonatron have to be the 'Mouse Organ' and the 'Scottish Hamster'...Have a play!

Rhubarb

The quest is on...I'm not convinced that it's a craving, although I am finding it hard to convince myself of this. It's totally the wrong time of year to find the fresh stuff easily so I am having to make do with rhubarb yoghurts form Sainsbury's. This week I tried their rhubarb crumble...Peter convinced me that it would make economic sense to buy the family size rather than the indivdual double pack. When he returns tonight and finds that there are still two helpings left in the fridge i think he will change his mind! As crumbles go it will never match up to a homemade crumble, but was a good attempt on Sunday when I cooked it...yesterday tea-time it wasn't bad after being heatedin the microwave...I'll see how it fairs later today...
If anyone knows where I can source some of the fresh stuff it'd be great to know! I know of a market gardener in Yorkshire which grows the good stuff in sheds all year round..but they don't seem to have an online outlet...Trouble is by the time it comes into season proper, Junior will have other things he/she wants to try!

AMEX Travellers Cheque Card

American Express - Travel Money Online...Now this looks like a cunning way to carry around a lot of travellers cheques...and would save going to the Travel Agents or the Bank to buy them...
