For the first time in ages, I've had spam in my gmail account. It read:

"Your anaconda is set to ravage the virginal beauties"

I LOLd (though even more at the targeted ads earnestly offering me National Geographic snake videos or advising me where I could buy a slow worm†)

† Though aren't they on the Red List? Should I in fact, be phoning the police?

ETA: Bugger. My Oyster card appears to have been cancelled, because I didn't respond to the confirm auto-top-up message. Because, for once, the university webmail put something in a spam folder. Incorrectly, naturally. (Though honestly, TFL, sending out messages with five attachments is just silly...)

Made dinner.

Upset dinner over kitchen floor, irretrievably bending the pan of the Remoska as I did so, so that it won't work any more.

:(

Then I knocked over some more things in the kitchen, then went out to the Italian take-away round the corner. And dropped my change into a basket of packets of biscuits below the counter.

May be turning into Tonks.

On the upside, the involitini I ended up having for dinner was quite good. Am cross about the Remoska, though. It's an extremely useful thing.

Also, and more amusingly, have just been talking to one of the flatmates, who is doing Middle English and Scots. "It's really interesting listening to you," quoth she, "I can really hear why they spelled 'which' and 'when' with a qh in Scots..."
