Dear Charlotte,

Before I start, let me just tell you (because I know you'll appreciate it) that I am currently eating risotto. Its left-overs from last night, and its not my finest...but good all the same. Risotto always reminds me of you. Remember when you broke up with 'whats-his-face' and I came round and made you risotto Verde? You'd already eaten, but you had some anyway, because that's just the kinda gal that you are. The one that I am currently eating is a little unaccustomed. Since I had no white wine, I had to chose between opening a bottle of birthday champagne...and using some left over Christmas mulled wine, which is still in my fridge. I opted for the mulled variety...I think you'd do the same. Also, because I was low on vegetables, its loaded with peas. So imagine, if you can, an off reddy-brown risotto, dotted with green.

I know this isn't, strictly speaking, a 'blog' - but its the only way that I can write one and not feel like a giant tit. When I've tried before, I just don't know what to write, you know? So, instead, I write to you dear.

Oh good, I'm running out of things to say already...errm...did you watch the Lily Allen thing last night? It was rather good actually. She took her dog to see a psychiatrist at one point, which was both cute and annoying. I currently have approximately £2.00 in my bank account - enough said. Aside from that *sigh* she came across very well - just a normal girl really.

Back to food - I went for lunch today. I had a halloumi salad with harrissa/mayonnaise dressing. It was L.U.S.H. And only £5.00 in All Bar One, in town. I'd recommend. I also had one glass of wine and was basically pissed when I got back to the office.

Anyway, I have to go now...theatre tonight with work - one of our actresses is in a production in The Everyman and Playhouse, I'll let you know how it is.

Next time, I'll have much more interesting things to say - I'll read a paper or something.

Love,

C xx

p.s. have you ever noticed how white Britney Spears' teeth are? WOW. I wish I was her friend.
