In bed, aged 99, shot by a jealous husband

I'm conscious that I have not posted anything for a few days. But really, descriptions of sanding, cleaning, sealing and painting are, if anything, even less interesting than watching the paint dry. I can however report that if you get silicone sealant on your hands and you clean them as recommended using terps, they end up with a very strange dry slippery smooth feeling. Great for rubbing together and laughing maniacally.

I haven't even been reading much. To entertain myself I have been re-watching QI. You do learn some quite interesting stuff. For example the fatal dose of chocolate is about 22 pounds* (10 Kg). I suspect this is related to the fatal dose of caffeine but that varies a lot depending on the individual. Still, it does give me an answer should I ever play that old game of "how would you like to die".


*I originally wrote the "lb" abbreviation for pounds and then wondered, how many people reading this even remember such things.

Valrhona is the Rolls Royce of chocolates. It's French. Schoc is made in Greytown. Its base is Valrhona. John Follis of Truffle (in Garrett Street, of Cuba Street) supplies Schoc with some of their base products. He calls Schoc products amongst the best in the world.
