Another crisis, but quickly resolved
    
The crisis in the title: this refers to the fact that last night, the spiciest thing in the house was (gulp) mild chilli powder. We had a little bit of 'hot chilli powder' left, but that quickly got absorbed into the chilli-con-carne. The chilli-con-carne still wasn't all that spicey, but the mild chilli powder was as good as useless. Thus, we were in the very unusual situation of living in a house with no decent chilli powder/sauce. Definitely far more pressing than any kind of imagined global warming crisis.

Anyway, the resolution came in two stages. That night, I quickly ordered (from somewhere called www.funkypepper.co.uk) a couple of bottles of some suitably spicy sauces (read: inedible in all but the tiniest quantities) and, the following day, bought a little packet of powdered habanero. You see, I had today off work (having gained enough hours via the magic of 'flexi time') and so the three of us met Rob, Rosie and Freddie over at the Mason's Arms (Strawberry Bank). We then went over to Cartmel, which is where I bought the habanero powder stuff from. So what on earth is that weird metal tower thing in the background? My mobile phone had absolutely no signal when in sight of that tower, so M**** speculated it may have something to do with the Cartmel Races. Answers on a postcard, anyone?

- Comment: You're lying, or at least mistaken: you had a bottle of habanero Tobasco lying at the back of a cabinet in the kitchen. You forgot about that, although I guess that stuff is also fairly mild, yes. Hello. Hello?

- Comment: Hello.
Looks like a mobile phone tower to me (some people seem to be way too interested in this stuff):

.. which doesn't explain why you had no signal, I know.

- Comment: Oh yes. I thought mobile phone tower. I just thought its location was odd (in the middle of a race course) and it didn't seem to be working too well as a mobile phone tower. I think some people think these things have 'other' functions besides mobile phones transmitters. All fascinating if slightly silly stuff.
