Shopping: for jeans (how is it possible that two pairs break down as the same time?) and black for work (do black and white patterns count as black?)

Blogging: such a lot of catching up after a busy year

Cooking: slow cooker dahl, inspired by forgotten lentils

Today's Obsession: Phew!  Clothes shopping, even at the second-hand shops, was not as bad as I thought it would be!
