Another week begineth...
Oh Monday Monday (ba bahhhh ba baba baa) so good to me
*YEAH RIGHT*
Not much to report for the weekend except that our local does the most amazing roast this side of Roastsville. I had a ribeye roast and it was delicious. The gravy... ay ay aieeee. Got slightly tipsy on wine and then fell asleep on the sofa. It was only 7:30 - oops. I'll put that one down to over excitement.
Keep thinking about you Steph and what your up to. I wonder if you are eating roast (???).
Anyway, the lovely (and handsome) Mr J Thomas has cooked me a fantastic looking dinner of pastaish goodness so I'd better go and enjoy. Ciao.

Bonjour mon amie!
Bonjour from the Alps!
Its just gone past 11 pm and i am trashed from too much apres ski! thought that it was important to document this moment hence ihave spent 30 minutes trying to remember the logon that i used to create this blog and thus now have sobered up a touch!
The conditions here for boardinghave not been great, only got a good anount of snow yesterday and that was my very first day on 'powder'. must say it was worth getting up at 7am and getting on the slopes by 8 in order to experience it before many other had the cance to 'carve it up'! We've been having great fun here this week - highlights include; using my new board - its' luch! the very boyish conversations over dinner, using the walki-talki's in an obscene manner, apres ski of van chaud and the list goes on. However its important for me to let you all know that im now officially a competant boarder which i am very proud of 'cos it is really f'ing hard - on this holiday i have been mostly tackling red and blue runs with a few spectacular falls - a face plant yesterday sticks quite plainly in my mind!
right off to drink some more, but thought it was important to share this moment with you all!!
muchos love to you all and hope that things are going well in BA lovely steph!
sxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ps. hope all home stuff is going good for everyone, hoping to have multiple dinner invitations when i get home!?!!???

Let it snow!
Hey everyone,
So, this is my first time in the Metaphorical kitchen, it seems that we are all well on the way to owning our own kitchens, Hartfield Road, Tankerville Road, George Road, T's somewhere between Oval and Stockwell and Steph, right now the world is your kitchen, he he!
Not much really happened last week, in fact I spent more evenings at Littlebury Road then I did at the new place, but 69 has finally gone now, it felt very strange on Sunday see the place so empty, there was a dead ladybird on your bed Steph, I think that it got depressed when you left and committed suicide. I did go to see Apocalypto on Saturday with Luke, what a crazy film that is! I couldn't really tell you what the point of it was, but it was really violent in the first half and very gripping in the second half, interesting!
Yesterday a number of things happened, I went to Toy Fair again! (It's my fifth Toy Fair, I can't believe it!) I had my photo taken with a David Beckham lookalike, very funny and we woke up to snow as Sally mentioned, and it wasn't just a light dusting it was a full on thick coating, Luke managed to completely cover me in it as he scraped it off his car and didn't notice I was standing next to him, nice! Not sure if we'll see anymore in the next few days but it was nice while it lasted.
Steph, have you heard all the controversy about Jade and Shilpa in Big Brother? To cut a long story short, Jade, Danielle and Jo were branded racist bullies for constantly picking on Shilpa, Jade was evicted last Friday and her public image is pretty much trashed, she's been begging for forgiveness ever since and is apparently going on a trip to India to re-build some bridges, crazy hey!
I'm off to Nuremberg next week for International Toy Fair apparently it's going to be minus 5 so I'm preparing to freeze and eat lots of sausages.
Well that's about all the news from here for now. How was dinner with the crazy Irish guy the other night? It sounds like you've met some right characters already and a hot guy too, good work Steph!! Spanish going well? I met some of my Spanish licensees at Toy Fair yesterday it made me think of you, aaahh!
Missing you muchos, keep well and safe and hope to hear from you again soon.
Lots of love and hugs

Finally...
... Have managed to navigate the blog website! Am impressed you managed to figure that out in Spanish... I was struggling in English yesterday! Seem to have regained the ability to follow simple instructions this morning though! (I take that comment back if it doesn't work!)
Just decided that living further out is great - the extra 10 minutes commute a day has just paid off - got to be the first person up and making foot prints in the snow down our road this morning! Then was very disappointed when I got to work and realised there wasn't any in Bond street!... ah well, I guess I can go home and play in the slush this evening!
You'll be glad to know you're not missing much here Steph - the flat's nearly unpacked (ish) we do have a sofa now, so me and Nat don't have to take it in turns on the rocking chair anymore! We do however still look like 2 little old ladies eating out dinner off trays though!
You sound like you're having lots of fun though am very jealous of the shopping part (i'm so cultured)... Good luck with the Spanish lessons!
Take care of yourself
Lots of love xxx

The very real kitchen...
...at number 2 Tankerville Road is fully unpacked. We did that first as we figured food is the most essential pick me up when there is mess to be sorted and cleaning to be done.
Had our first slight house drama - the boiler turned itself off yesterday due to low pressure in the system (typical, the coldest day we've had for weeks) and according to the manual it needed re pressurising which seemed fairly straight forward and so I duly rose to the challenge (Joe being otherwise engaged helping Chris lug white goods around South London).
Unfortunately, I didn't quite rise high enough and ended up getting Joe's Dad and his mate round to help me. They were suitably impressed that I'd managed to get the cover off the boiler so it seems their DIY expectations for me are pretty low.
It's fixed now anyway and I have also learnt how to re pressurise heating systems which is a useful life skill I feel.
But generally the move went really well. We were very tired at the weekend but very happy. It feels like we're on holiday or having a sleepover - it hasn't quite sunk in yet. All I know is that it makes me grin alot and that's gotta be a good thing...

Blogging fun!
Hello!
This has been a very confusing first blog attempt - all the navigational stuff is in spanish....i will have to ask my new Spanish teacher to focus on cyber terminology tomorrow!
So, am having lots of fun in BA. Met some really nice people over the weekend, and a slightly crazy irish guy that fell asleep in his steak. Will hopefully be meeting up with one girl in Lima in a couple of months time - i think you would all like her a lot.
Seen quite a bit of Buenos Aires now, had fun in the marshy boats and done lots of wandering & taking in the sights. the shopping here is amazing, and so cheap. am kind of gutted it´s my last stop & not my first! Sally - you would love it, haivanas for 3 quid!
Unfortunately beer & wine is also mega cheap (2 quid for a LITRE AND A HALF of beer or a nice bottle of wine!) , so have had far too much to drink the last few days. Am paying for it now though....the cold that´s been threatening me for a while has finally appeared. I sounded like Mike Reid in my Spanish class today!!!
loads of people left today, so it´s just me & Crazy Irish this evening.....off for dinner now, so will speak to all in the kitchen again soon!
lots of love andthe biggest hug in the world to all of you!
Steph xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

tonight is the night....
... that we say good bye to our lovely little home as we have known it! Ah! The end of an era but what fun it has been, lets see some highlights....
- Beagles passing out in both house toilets in the same night
- Pibbers managing to fall through the garden furniture whilst attempting to wow the Radio 1 listeners with our glastonbury knowedge
- Trips to Infernos and blurred vision of Sally struggling to carrying bags of KFC home for a yummi feast
- Covering the house in headstones and autumn leaves for Halloween parties
- Shoes that are to-die-for stuffed in practically every corner of Stephs room
- Nats ability to fall asleep in any location...nightclub, pub or even in full conversation flow
- Abopting 'Micki' as the house mascot
So long, little house, we shall miss you.....
But onwards to future adventures that are yet to be had!! whatever will be next........

Introduction
Deep down in the bowels of number 69 Littlebury Road there is a magical and wonderous place. Sure, to the untrained eye it looks a little run down, with its chipped white laminate cupboard doors and it's distinctly wobbly lino flooring, but it is a place of dreams, of laughter and of general misbehaviour.
Sadly, that kitchen is no longer our hub but we have a new hub now - presenting The Metaphorical Kitchen. There's no stolen pub chairs to sit on or surplus Christmas chocolate to munch but no matter how many miles away any one of us might be, we can always be here.
Tea anyone?
