Last night we went to see Dave Gorman in the Corn Exchange and it was a really good show! I drank some wine before we left, and had a couple of (overpriced) glasses while we were there too.
When we got back we went on our computers for about an hour before heading off to bed.
I fell asleep quickly and had a dream about black pudding. I woke up to my alarm at 7:00am but felt tired and reset it for 7:20am. I fell back to sleep quickly and felt much more alert when it went off the second time.
Dreams:
Homemade Black Pudding
I was with a load of work people including my friend Pete from Jagex. We were all going to eat together, and the group had recently got a machine for making black pudding.
They opened up the machine and started putting in all of this disgusting meat and blood. It wasn't blood from a fresh carcase, but really disgusting meat that didn't seem very fresh. It looked like they'd raided the bins from a butchers!
When the disgusting mixture was in the machine we left it too cook for a while, and then they served it up to my mate Pete first. He took the slice of black pudding out of the machine and cut into it with his knife and fork. It was a shapeless, half liquid mass of filth on his plate - something truly awful.
I told the group I wasn't going to eat it because it didn't look to be cooked properly, and knowing the quality of the meat I really wanted it to be well cooked. Pete's fork was heading for his mouth but when he heard me say that he stopped and put the black pudding back on his plate.
After that we let the black pudding cook for a long time before taking it out again. This time it looked like black pudding!
I don't remember anything else so I can only assume I woke up before tasting it.
