Bartering, eating, reading and blissing

I already subscribe to my local chapter of http://www.Freecycle.org, which is great for giving away stuff, but I find that I am wanting to trade my skills for those of others. http://barterzilla.com/ looks really promising. It is a newbie compared to
http://westernmass.craigslist.org. I am hoping that barterzilla really takes off.

Last Saturday we discovered a new Indian restaurant called Bollywood Café in Shrewsbury, across from Indian Café. The food was extremely tasty and everything was hot and fresh. We returned earlier today for lunch and were quite disappointed.
I guess it was the chef’s day off today, as the food was obviously prepared by his assistant or even the servers. It was that tasteless. Everything looked good, but lacked the balance of spices and flavours that is so unique to good Indian food. Even the kids in the restaurant were misbehaving. I guess they know what good food should taste like.
Next week we are checking out Indian Café next door…

Yesterday it was seventy degrees here, and today it barely got up to fifty. I liked it though, as it was the ideal weather in which to read ‘Angels and Demons’ by Dan Brown. It was completely unputdownable.
I read it in six hours straight. Now, I am about to read Da Vinci Code. These books were so popular for the last two years, that I was not inspired to read them before now.

I am planning to fill in the bare patches of my lawn (due to rocks) with clover. I think it is very beneficial to the soil and will look really good in the summer.
Clover has so many blessed advantages; I am surprised it is not in widespread use.

I am now going to prepare a pot of tea and settle down for even more blissing.
