We have the best of both worlds! 50/50 EG and Northumbrian blend or Friesian Schwarze tee. It hasn't led to rope and gaffer tape yet mind.

Joe and Cinds just reminded me...    i was visiting my (innocent and naive) sister today.   She heard everyone talking about '50 Shades of Grey', didn't know what it was about, so she downloaded a sample to her Kindle.   She said today 'I've read the sample of that book, I'm going to buy it I think it will be good.... but what was he buying the rope and tape and cable ties for?   It's going to turn out that he's a murderer isn't he?   I love a good murder mystery...'    

How bland!

 

I'm still hoping for the rope, gaffer tape and a pair of black leather gloves.  With a cup of strong tea on the side.

Oh dear 

 

There's cable ties involved.  I had a bf in my early twenties who liked the cable ties, one night I wasn't that amused.  He soon became an ex. 

Have you ever had Friesian tea Cinds? You can stand the spoon up in it . It's a strong, masterful, and dominant tea.

Of course you have to agree a code word with the tea before you drink it.

Oh My *fans self*

 

No I haven't.  Where would one procure this?  

 

I buy Tetley Extra Strong, classy lass I am 

Code word or 'safe' word?

Yikes!    (she did initially say 'electric things' which had my mind running riot.. but turns out she meant cable ties)   They're a bit extreme - they're going to dig in....   i believe hardware shops in the US are giving advice on the best thickness of rope for optimum comfort.

 

Joe - stick the kettle on 

Probably safe word, I'm trying to wing this since actually I have very little if any bondage experience. Ringtons! The bloke who comes round in the little van sells Northumbrian blend which mixes well with Morrison's earl grey. Their connoisseur tea bags are rather strong too.

So you never did the 3 legged race at school? (If I was being proper Durham I would have said Skoowell)

By a strange coincidence I was at Grey college in Durham yesterday.

Talking of Skoowell.

 

I bumped in to a guy who was in my form class at skoowell tonight.  25 years later and he still recognised me.  I was astounded, but then (which is typical of me) had a panic attack, because I always think of the negatives, and it took me ages to calm down.  But it was nice to see him.

Joe I love Durham, it's my birth place, and even though I have lived in Newcastle for 12 years now.  When I drive down to me Mams, and we come off the A1 at Carville and drive down the A690 in to Durham, there's a curve in the road where the Cathedral rises on to your eye line, and every time in my head I know I am home.

 

Grey's college, I used to go under age drinking there 

 

Plus, years earlier I used to sell ice cream there.

The view from the college is quite impressive too! I had a walk down the hill but it was a horrible rainy muggy day. Any idea about the new building on Stockton road. Bearing in mind there is a Japanese University spin off, we wondered if it was some sort of Swedish thing. It had an IKEA look about it.

Whereabouts on the Stockton Rd?  Near the main Uni library or further along near Maiden Castle? 

 

I remember having my council flat in Brandon (about 4 miles out of the city), right at the top of the hill, nothing in front, I had a grand view of the Cathedral.  It was a massive 3 bedroom thing, with only Master C as a baby and me living there.  

 

Near the library Cinds!

Not sure Joe.  It's a while since I passed that way.  I'll drive that way next time I go to visit the parents and have a look.

Can't remember whether I mentioned I'd chipped my front tooth.  Very minor chip, but I was PARANOID.  

 

Got it fixed today, he's done a splendid job.  The drive to Carlisle was well worth it.

 

*BIG TOOTHY GRIN* 

Toss up between staying here or going to watch Deadliest Catch and falling asleep in the middle of it 

My husband just said "I'm gonna watch the Evil Dead". My face -->

 

I give him 10mins before he makes an excuse to go to the toilet, check on the kids etc. He's a big wuss 

 

I've finally decided I'm off to bed. Night all 

Yes...he's gone. His excuse? "it would never happen". I bet he sleeps with the lights on tonight 

 

Night Sprout 

Yesterday I went and watched them rig this up:

 

 

They're re-creating the scene from the Italian Job so it'll be swinging precariously once they've finished.

 

Someone's bound to blow the bl**dy doors off.... 

Is there a reason they are recreating it Cosmo?

 

Last night just as I was drifting off to sleep, I kept feeling a little tickle on my neck.  Decided it was a rogue hair drifting around.  Woke up this morning to find a squashed spider on my neck 

 

Doesn't bother me, but I know Mr C will be freaking out tonight.  

 

Of course I'll keep reminding him all day about it 

Oh you evil person you! Think i may freak out tonight now too lol

Jen the thought of a rogue hair drifting around bothers me WAYYYY more than a little spider on my neck. 

Did it look like this

 

Awwww Nutbrown Hare.  Guess how much I love you?  I loved reading master cinds that book...

 

 

 

 

 

 

....last week 

Love that book too 

Hahaha re my spider post above.  We've just got out of the shower and I noticed Mr C had closed the bedroom window.  I asked him to open it to let some fresh air in, his reply "you open it but flick that daddy longlegs that's on the outside away so it doesn't come in".  I replied "you won't think too much about the spider on my neck last night will you".... him "I will NOW' 

I'm sure there is 

Actually I only went to see if Eddie Izzard was about - he's one (of a few) sponsoring the project.  I think it's tying in with the Olympics in a celebratory capacity - hence the red, white and blue of the bus, and the fact that the Italian Job is Eddie's favourite film.

 

Poor Mr. Cinds!  You torment that poor man  

Cosmo, I love Eddie Izzard.  

 

Both Mr C and I do, we used to watch his 'Unrepeatable' quite often, our fav Eddie show.  There's a bit in it where he does 'BUNCH OF FLOWERS' which is hilarious.  Recently I was in IKEA buying plastic flowers and when I got to the till, I pulled the flowers out of my IKEA bag and shouted 'BUNCH OF FLOWERS'.  I laughed my head off, the girl on the till looked at me like I was mental.

As for the tormenting Mr Cinds.  HA, he deserves it.

You should follow him on Twitter, Cinds and tell him that you do his gig for all bored IKEA shoppers 

Hahaha I  do follow him on twitter, never thought to tell him that.

Guess who didn't sleep very well last night?  

 

He said he was lying there for ages with the quilt pulled up to his eyes and claimed he was wearing night vision goggles just in case. 

I want this Titanic ice cube maker  

 

Found it  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Titani...-Maker/dp/B005LUKHYI

Erin that's brilliant.  Plus imagine having a glass big enough that you could float them like that.

 

Coincidentally, the tune now playing on my itunes is 'Have a drink on me' AC/DC
