I need a mutation; I want to be Iceman or Frozone or somebody similar. Somebody cool and er... cool.

London is mightily unpleasant when the temperatures hit the upper 80^os and lower 90^os. I believe that the forecast for today is 89-91^o. I shan't be enjoying this week at all. And just to add to my enjoyment of the working day, the server is acting very slowly, so I cannot log in to either gmail or hotmail, so my attempts to check that people haven't forgotten this evening's game are coming to naught (Though it does occur to me that I have a couple of email addresses and can get the message passed on. D'OH!).

The office seems to be operating on a skeleton staff this morning. I wonder what I've missed...?

Ravenous

The truth of the matter is that Waitrose and, I think, Marks and Spencer do rather interesting ranges of dried fruits. Sainsbury's do as well, but they're not as evocative as (especially) Waitrose's range.

The worrying thing is just how much this dried fruit looks like preserved body parts...

ellefurtle started it off. She acquired a packet of dried mango slices: Flesh. It looks like dried strips of human flesh. Long Pig, to some. Very tasty, though. And chewy.

Having scarfed that back, yesterday we went in search of more only to find that they had sold out. Clearly veggie cannibalism is rife in Whetstone (you wouldn't think it to look at the natives, mind). So flesh was off the menu.

Bugger.

But!

Dried pineapple slices look very like sections of brain stem, so we bought some of them. Scrotums too. You may know them as dried Williams Pears, but they're clearly scrotums. Sunday not being a delivery day, the rest of the range was rather sparse, but the dried cranberries look interestingly small, crimson red and chewy.

I must dig out my copy of Gray's Anatomy...
