Virtuality

Somewhere between real life and the virtual world there lies the Jabberwocky. Captured in pictures and held fast by words it is arbitrarily defined as the Beast. To think, though, it would take only the slightest of tweaks, the gentlest movement in language, and the...

The Infinite To Do List (otherwise known as do-you-Swindoo?)

I'm sure everyone has one, a vague collection of plans and dates that you will tackle when you have a moment. I have one that I am gradually working my way through, adding to it more often than I cross something off. It is fast becoming a creation so complex you need...

Malicious Paperwork

We have taken some small, tentative steps towards becoming a legitimate business. I have submitted the license application to Warwick District Council to register the dear Jabberwocky as a real life food business. Hopefully the WDC will give the project its blessing...

Yesterday was a glorious day in the chronicles of the Jabberwocky. The kind of day which, if we were in a musical, would have been a song. If we had been starring in an 80s film, it would have been a montage and if we'd been in ancient Greece, it would have been...

The Beauty within the Beast

To nickname our Jabberwocky "the Beast" came about largely by accident. It was as much a frustrated description as a term of endearment in the days before the MOT; back when it lurked on our drive, defying any attempts to make it function. Today, not only does it...

Spring Forward

by Flic Luxmoore | Mar 28, 2011 | The Business of Catering | 2 Comments

This year I can proudly say that the clocks going forward did not take me by surprise. I was ready for time travel, and made it through to the other side with only minimal lateness. Spring is in the air in Leamington. Having neatly eclipsing the weekend, today, like...

The Pipe, the Beast and the Earley Café

If you could measure progress in the exciting new currency of golden bins, yesterday would have been a 5 out of 5. Not that the currency matters, I'm just trying to tie in a theme, and if you had seen the bin, I am confident you would understand why. The important...

The Next Step

The miraculous news is still settling in. I assume that at some point in the next few days I will unexpectedly begin leaping around and singing. Behold, the Beast, now certifiably road legal! I think that much of my excitement has already been expended on the delight...

The Golden Bin

This week I discovered what gazumping is and why one must fear it. We have, you see, embarked on the slow and arduous process of getting a foot onto the very lowest rung of the property ladder. The offer I mentioned on Sunday was accepted, and we have begun the...
