Order of the Brown Nose

In addition to being in the Guardian, it would seem that the Flatmate and I have now been spotted and featured* in the Private Eye too!

This is quite an honour because as my friend Matt says "You cannot get yourself into the Private Eye...you have to be chosen"It was all exciting as we thought of responses to the man who nominated us. At first I thought we were being mocked but then I realised that in order to put us into the Private Eye, this guy would have to read the Guardian too (dork!) and even read the "Nice to Meet You" column (dorkier!) and then I felt better. We think we might invite him around for coffee and croissants some morning (or, as the Flatmate said, only 1/2 a croissant, because after all, we only have £1.40 to spend).

My sister is in London for a few days. The visit got off on a bit of a rough start as a stream of tube cancellations, runnings late and late/absent busses left us wandering London in the pouring rain until 1:00, but today was grand. There's an amazing photography exhibit at the Tate. I am now a member and can go to all of these things for FREE and I can even have a coffee in the members lounge after now! Am I poshing it up or WHAT?

My other highlights of this weekend have included garden centres, drinks with friends and watching the toddler of a friend of a friend produce mammoth poos in her bathroom, but the joyous stories of potty training will have to wait.

The sister and I are off to make a mom-classic recipe for dinner tonight. Gosh, I wish I hadn't blogged those two bits in succession!
