I'd never actually made them from scratch before either. Making the pastry is incredibly time consuming and then shaping them is a real pain in the arse, so mreh. Probably won't do them again any time soon.

:o can I come live with you please?


WMMHT: New Darkthrone track. It's all I was hoping for and more. Excellent end to a not-fantastic day. Also delicious supper and blueberries for pudding.

I'll eat those things when I'm in London, Annabel.

The Darkthrone track is pretty awesome, not quite what I was expecting, production wise at least.

I don't know if any of you know of AngryMetalGuy.com, but I'm a part of their writing staff now. They're posting one of my reviews next month. :D

My boss has been slightly more pleasant today; more like her normal self. I was starting to wonder if I'd offended her. Another colleague assures me I haven't and I certainly can't think of anything I've ever said unless defending her when other departments moan about her behind her back or admitting that I try to makes things easier for her because of the stress she's under is offensive obviously....

I know I've got to stop the need of wanting to be loved by everyone because it's kinda concerning. Tbh it's not everyone, just people I like and respect.

True, but I was thinking about going to Sonata Arctica anyway, two birds with one stone and all that.
