Katy keeps complaining that Bean always leaves his cats lying around and never puts them away after he’s done with them.

He’s our boy
A sausage roll and a shandy. Wonder from which side of the family he gets which bit.
And a picture of cat licking its butt
To complement the twig.
I got a twig
The people at work sang Happy Birthday to me and gave me a twig (which was later taken back, but for good reasons). My work people are nuts, and they’re a big reason why I like my job.
First goal achieved
As of today, the bathroom scales tell me that I am below 100kg for the first time. Next goal is to go below 200lbs.
[recipe] St-Hubert traditional coleslaw
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup (60 ml) white vinegar
1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
1/2 tablespoon (2.5 ml) onion salt
6 cups (1 medium) thinly sliced cabbage (with a knife)
1 cup (2 large) shredded carrots
Salt and pepper
In a bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cabbage and carrots. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow all flavours to blend.
Cubanos!
Katy and I watched Chef, a movie where a chef loses his restaurant job and starts a food truck as a way to get back his creative mojo and get his life back into shape. We really like that movie. It’s also serious food porn and put us in the mood for Cuban sandwiches. So I made some today.
Swiss confederation day
Katy and I took a lakeside stroll to go see the fireworks.
Mongrels re-watch
Katy and I started rewatching Mongrels, a show that actually made it past the BBC stiff necks in 2010. I’d forgotten just how much I loved it the first time around. Especially Kali the pigeon.

Nelson:
How was the funeral?
Kali:
I masqueraded as a dead man, partially blinded a child and caused a clergyman to question his faith in Christianity.
Marion:
How was the buffet?
Kali:
Was adequate.

Kali:
If I wanted to be permanently attached to a needy, accident-prone cretin, I’d move back into my old nest. (cut to Ame Winehouse singing ‘Valerie’ on stage with Kali poking out of her hairdo, talking on a mobile phone) Hello? Is that the council? I’d like to complain about the woman living under me! Why? Because she’s a donkey-faced crack skank! Alright, I’ll hold.

Kali:
A Thai bride and some Genesis. I’m trying to lure Harry Hill.
Thai Bride:
Come on baby, me love you long time.
Harry Hill:
I could’ve sworn I heard Genesis…
Kali:
Oh God, Kali! Improvise, improvise, improvise, improvise, improvise, improvise, ooh, World War II stick grenade!
(Kali throws grenade; everyone ducks as there’s a huge explosion; Harry Hill’s clothes fall on top of them)
Marion:
So, Harry Hill… brown bin or blue bin?
All:
Brown bin…
Random moment of the week
So I’m taking out the bins before making my way to the bus stop, when I hear a really loud chopper noise. As I’m walking to the bus stop, I finally twig that there’s a helicopter idling in the middle of the football pitch. Shortly after, it took off but I missed it because I had to get to the bus on time to not be late for a meeting and I turned a blind corner relative to the pitch.
Edit: Right. Well this day is shaping up to be interesting if it keeps up like this…
