80 mile an hour winds, buckets of rain, waves crashing up to the sky and bits of tree and houses trashing everything in site?
Everywhere but here. We got about an hour of rain and then a gorgeous sunset (you’ll have to take my word for it - I forgot I had my camera with me); it wasn’t even windy enough to turn my cheap Primark umbrella inside out. I suppose I should be grateful that I’m not going to wake up and discover a tree on my bed or something but… oooo, anything for a little excitement!
I had a day today. Work was all fine and fun as usual but this evening I just felt tense. I felt unwanted, unneeded, useless, crap and all those happy happy words. It was one of those evenings when I just wanted to throw my hands up in the air and scream ‘why do I bother?’ or something equally as melodramatic. It was the kind of day when I really really wished I hadn’t given up chocolate for Lent - I could have eaten my own weight in the stuff today! Oh, only two more weeks to go! Hurrah!
and then… mmmm, Cadbury’s Dairy Milk, Galaxy, Dime Bar, Mars Bar, and yes even you - Reeces Peanut Butter Cups - all of you shall come second to this
It’s a five stone (about 30kg) easter egg, made by L’Artisan du Chocolat, sold at Selfridges for £499 ($1002.49). And worth every bloody penny. Four people have already bought one. 168,540 calories in it. That’s just beautiful.
