Munchies (once more)

Cadburys Crunchies... smaller than they used to be, or what? Or perhaps it was just the ones I got with my easter egg. Whichever, I was mildly disappointed, as being of an apparently smaller size, it makes my chosen way of eating Crunchies (biting the chocolate off the outside, then eating the honeycomb stuff from the middle afterwards) much harder because it's far trickier to hold the de-chocolated honeycomb without breaking it. Or so it seems.

Meanwhile, I also note that you can get "mini" Jaffa Cakes. Beware, this is just a ploy. Before you know it they will become the norm, and "normal" Jaffa Cakes will be sold as "giant" Jaffa Cakes with a predictably higher price! None of which however solves the eternal "cake or biscuit" question...

As for what's been going on since I last bothered to write anything, Lovely Girlfriend arrived back fit, well and safe from Australia, and has not as yet shown any sign of deep vein thrombosis.

We have also managed a weekend away at Easter, though to the decided less exotic, and certainly less tropical, Forest of Dean. In a tent. Sleeping on an airbed which decided for whatever reason (puncture seems the most likely) not to stay filled with air. Not withstanding being a little chilly and uncomfortable at night, however, we still had a pleasant time, and I think Lovely Girlfriend may be persuaded to repeat the experience at some future point in time...
