WHO keeps looking up “cat rigamortis” on google and hitting my blog? could you please leave me a comment just to tell me why you are looking for it? because at the moment i can’t decide whether to picture you as a spotty 12yr old who wants to see minging stuff on the net, or [...]

Lomo Saltado.

Ok this is a post for all you foodies- yes I’m branching out into recipies. I’m going to be more up myself than Nigella, hungrier than the hungry caterpillar and hipper than Jamie Oliver. And if all else fails, I know I’m definitely going to be fatter than yow!
 Lomo saltado is one of the Peruvian staples. Its [...]

All Apologies

I’m sorry the blog has been gathering dust recently, I was rather busy for the two weeks Jeff was here, and now im back to bartending which means leading a nocturnal existence. Treff, the pub where I work, is exactly the same as usual- dead quiet until about 2.30am when suddenly it fills up, meaning we can’t [...]

My Favourite Statue

I added the cigarette myself… Even without it, though, it is a very odd sculpture.

Unflattering, But I love ‘em

This is l-r Anita, me, Mai, Kayleigh and David, the My Friend hostel crew, all (bar Anita) looking jaded and sweaty post Carlos’s birthday binge. Good old Huanchaco. Also note Tom Cruise making a cameo appearance at top left.

Panamericana, 5am

OOh AAh SOo SUNBURnt!

Disjointed Musings

I saw the basset hound again today, taking his owner for a walk. i had bread in a carrier bag, and as i walked past, the dog smelt it, ran towards it, and tied up his owner.
a cleaner in the supermarket today followed me around half the store, sweeping behind me. it was quite odd, but [...]
