Crumbs - what a lonely day I've had in here. Not a soul has crossed the threshold.

Tea! I need tea!

Just sat through a two hour training session on 'Diversity'.

The upside was that someone bought a load of pakora and vegetable crisps for the halfway break.

It also included a rather patronising little video about a peacock in the land of penguins. In the feedback at the end, everyone said they disliked it.... It was a bit like being beaten over the head with a blunt metaphor.

Also, got very wet this afternoon, when it chucked it down.

On the upside, a steak pie for lunch, and the pakora, means I don't really need to cook dinner.

They sound 'orrible!

Actually, with the peanuts and sesame, they wouldn't be my choice.

So here are some chocolate digestives.

Try attracting some vultures to the garden, I bet the cats would back off then!

On the other hand, getting a dead antelope onto a bird table could be tricky.

I have some biskits here. They contain sesame seeds, almonds, peanuts, honey, etc.



They are horrible, no one will like them, except me! ;) :unsure:

Wrong - I'll eat anything. Well OK maybe not everything - most things I suppose :tongue:

I has cat too Speicher. Baby robin in garden at the moment :ohmy:

Arch - diversity? and pakora? Presumably you were being schooled in the art of environmental diversity - ie lots of species? And Pakora - is that one of many?

No alas, it wasn't environmental, it was... whatever you call it when someone comes along to lecture you on something you already know about in the workplace...

I'm sure there are people who'd benefit, but it did take me back to some of the dull transferable and people skills courses I had to sit through in my PhD days. The 'peacock' film was a dreadful patronising American thing, and wasn't even logical - the peacock saves the day, but not because of any of the things that make him different, which was sort of the point, that different people bring different qualities to a situation.

It was in the last course we attended that I made the elephant in my avatar, when she gave us some playdoh to make a shape that expressed us as communicators. (The heffalump wasn't my shape, but what I made afterwards by way of a 'doodle').

And Pakora is spicy battered veg, from the Indian supermarket. They do good samosas too, although on the spicy side for me.

I can has pakora!! Onion bhajis are a (very good) form of pakora. I'm guessing it's Hindi for fritter.
*Googles*
The Tamil for pakora is bhaji. Not sure why they use the Tamil word for onion ones, and Hindi for spinach and potato ones, but whatever, they're still good :smile:

Morning Afternoon all.

Is it just me, or is it quite quiet around here at the moment?

I'm actually having to do some work, very disappointing.

Yeah, it's quiet.

Too quiet.

Be on your guard...

Any minute now, Speicher will leap out, like Kato, and do karate on you.
