Stuff I'm reading..

The curious incident of the dog in the night time, by Mark Haddon

a, so far, fantastic book on about an autistic lad and his detective adventure.
makes you see another way of understanding the things around you. sometimes i think we are all a little autistic.

Games people play by Eric Berne

Interesting book on Transactional Analysis, which i was reckomended by a chap on a training course. i thought it had something to do with 'Game theory' which is the mathmatical study of games, it isn't

The prince by Niccolo Machiavelli

given to me by my boss, i Still can't get into it but the basis is that Machiavelli devised some rules that he (and many other thoughout history) believed that a prince, or ruler, or perhaps manager should abide by. it was writen in latin and has been translated many times.

Today i shall be mostly eating Courgettes



These are favourate vegtable, or at least were.
This year i've grown 3 plants in my new veggie patch.
I've now got about 3Kgs of them in my fridge and have eaten them for about 2 weeks solid.

Been looking for things to do with them tonight and have found..
1. Soupe à la Courgette
2. 9 pages of ideas, mostly involving Courgettes at the BBC





Above, some of them are quality trunction size, whilst others are like ladies fingers.
