Home sweet home ...

We've just got home from our trip to Paris with a bag full of cheese, baguette and croissants! (I had also bought half a dozen chouquettes but I'd devoured them all whilst waiting for our train at Gare du Nord)

We had cheese (and lots of it!) for dinner that night.

Then we started playing World of Warcraft for the first time since July last year ...

** Snow! **

We opened the bedroom blinds this morning and this was the view outside ...

BRR!

As it was snowing heavily outside, we decided to stay in our warm beds a little longer ... and only dared venture outside when it wasn't snowing so much. I wonder where all the squirrels went ...

Some kids were trying to hit me with snowballs. WHY!!

My shoes weren't exactly cut out for walking on slush -- I had to sit in cold soggy socks for the rest of the day :(

 

Pigging out at Borough Markets (yet again) ...

We're defo getting fat at this rate ... weekly visits to the Borough Markets has started to become our weekly routine ...

And my blog will soon become a weekly report of Borough Markets! :B

Ok, chorizo report for this week -- the queue was the longest we'd ever seen. We decided to get our coffees first, and when we finished, we discovered that the queue had grown even longer!! D'oh!

So we decided to look around, see if we could substitute the chorizo sandwich with something else ...

And found the smelliest combination of food ever existing on earth. Imagine this: cheese (of the stinky, sort!) + curry + fish mongers + melted cheese + cooking sausages + curry + olives ... Did I say, + curry??

At first I thought that there was a smelly homeless guy that pee'd in his pants near us ...

Anyway ... back to chorizo sandwich substitution ... we found a couple of other sausage sandwich shops, but after taking a look at the sausages (all really big and extremely heart-harming-looking) and other alternatives (venison burger, fish and chips, etc) we decided to head back for the chorizo queue ... which was even longer ... but sooo worth it!
