The free chicken legs from Asda became a casserole and then a gruelly soup, feathers and all. Cheat pasta! Hungarian nokedli: two eggs and some flour = dumplings for lazy people! Harrassing the cows in Boveney on the way back from deciding Eton Wick is definitely not future home material.

The rusk cookies look innocent enough before baking. Moooo! Check out grandma cow with the wrinkly neck. Green and Blacks easter egg

Dinner with the rest of the strange empanada quiche. Um, wall. With a framed picture of Putney rail bridge at night. Chicken soup and dumplings!

Want to be even cooler than you are already? Design your own unique boat shoe! Here's the new configurator, painstakingly bug-tested to within an inch of its life. Dandelion heads by the towpath Georgina made chocolate birds' nests.

"I wish we went that fast" Tidying up the flowerpots in the pit. Getting through the post-training camp mountain of stinky kit.

Cycling back along the towpath into Windsor. That fraying back tyre is replaced thanks to the nice man in the bike shop round the corner!

Currently reading. Can't decide if it's edgy cosmopolitan hipster genius or quasi-intellectual mindless trash. Further camp rules. You see, it is all about the rowing at Vesta. I come home to doughnuts! This is love!

Clinique.com is transactional at last, and they gave me almost as many free gifts as you'd get at bonus time. No more waiting! Friendly cow! Novices coming off the water at Eton, seen from the bridge.

Great swathes of bluebells are out by the roadside and making my ride home smell a little less carcinogenic. Distinctly un-strawy cheese straws. Some euros left over for my Ghent trip next weekend.

Waiting at Terminal 5 for the flight out to Basel. Tidying up the lavender, making a lot of spiders homeless in the process. Easter cake with extra chicken.

Slightly-too-gluey pastry for the tuna and red pepper quiche that tasted just like an empanada. One thing I did gain from training camp: some of my favourite biscuits! The end of our towpath ride, with Windsor castle at the top of the hill.

It had become apparent that the one-time christmas tree wasn't going to dispose of itself, so I took it upon myself to make it look less neglected. At least now it takes up less space.

And a copy of Biba! Oh how I've missed trashy French magazines; now also excellent fodder for new words to describe shoes. How now brown cow? The finished rusk biscuits.
