Alive: Burrow

Hello. My attention has recently been occupied by less text-based blogging on my tumblr 'Burrow'.

Cars Driving in the Rain at Night

Cooking the Biggest Prawns Ever

Jumbo tiger prawns courtesy of Grainger Market, Newcastle.

Marinated with lemon juice, ginger, garlic and chilli.


Yes, they are THAT big.


Egg fried rice.


Baby corn, onion, chillis, ginger and button mushrooms.


Stir fry veg and Szechuan pepper sauce.


Out the oven.


Looking good.


Shelled and ready to eat.


Quite a mouthful.


Best enjoyed with a cold Heineken.

Thank you very much to Jude and Sheryl for letting me stay, and for all the great food, conversation and walking!

Human Is

The makers of this robot have clearly never seen The Terminator, Terminator 2, Blade Runner, Alien, Robocop, A.I. (lucky them), The Terminal Man, Short Circuit, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Metropolis, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, Battlestar Galactica, Screamers, The Twilight Zone, Star Trek: First Contact, Dr. Who, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Matrix... let me know if I've missed any. They should probably read some Philip K. Dick as well.
