Visited nyecamden for a date last night. He cooked steak (rare), with a salad and incredibly nice bread. It was RIDICULOUSLY good. And Cherry Garcia frozen yoghurt with strawberries for afters. OH MY GOD.

Something that had never occurred to me: sliced strawberries in the steak salad. Very sweet, but just the thing in sparing quantities.

This morning and early afternoon we went shopping. Got an office chair for him and a £70 LCD monitor with a scratch from CEX. Morgan has nice ones for a bit over a hundred, but CEX won this bout. (Morgan also has some nice cheap netbooks in stock, £150-200. Worth checking.) The monitor mostly just works on his Eee 701, just not very smoothly at all. I also got some solder, a tiny T5 Torx and a cable from Craplin.

Came home dying of plant bukkake, tree spaff being sprayed directly into my eyes and up my nose. I have taken lots of every drug imaginable. I haven't yet snorted tabasco again, but I'm getting damn close.

Madam has been sighted! Someone called saying they'd seen her down the road in the past few days. I also called out "MADAM!" this evening and Freda imitated me, calling "Ma'am!"
