A good day

Today velvetdahlia and I went for dim sum at Yauatcha in Soho. Good dim sum and good company; what more could one desire on a sunny summer's day?( Read more... )

Also, blueyonder have just put up a column I wrote a while ago, about webcomics. Many of the links in it are actually the product of speedlime's noble brain. One day I hope some of her art will be on the web for us all to marvel at.

Finally, a recipe for some very degenerate sorbet (invented this weekend):

1 1/2 cups cold water
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup lemon or lime juice, or both
Zest of one lemon or two limes
Handful of mint leaves
2 or 3 tablespoons Pimm's

Combine all ingredients in a non-metal bowl and stir until sugar is dissolved. You can then put the mixture in the fridge for a few hours if you like.
Either freeze using an ice cream maker, or place mixture in sealed container in freezer and stir every few hours.

Tall frosty glasses of sorbet all round. Enjoy!!!

even Metafilter is having a good day

Some really good links over at MeFi: An article about communist-era jokes, a discussion of late, great British animator Bob Godfrey, a page devoted to failed world language Volapük, and (especially for orkamedies): Anvil shooting.
