Here's the pavlova, this one was for the 'team' - I'd promised Boss a pavlova and this visit seemed the perfect opportunity, I took it to a meeting with us where it was pretty much demolished - we didn't even manage to save a slice for Pete!
Then it was Pizza Express in the evening for a team tea with Boss and Pete, happy days!
Speaking of deja vu though...I had a conversation with Bernie about all the different vu's. When I asked her if she was aware of other vu's she came up with voo - doo (not quite what I had in mind!)!
Deja vu - (literally "already seen") is the feeling of certainty that one has already witnessed or experienced a current situation, even though the exact circumstances of the prior encounter are unclear and were perhaps imagined.
Jamais vu - (from French, meaning "never seen") is a term in psychology which is used to describe any familiar situation which is not recognized by the observer. Often described as the opposite of déjà vu, jamais vu involves a sense of eeriness and the observer's impression of seeing the situation for the first time, despite rationally knowing that he or she has been in the situation before. Jamais vu is more commonly explained as when a person momentarily does not recognize a word, person, or place that they already know.
Presque vu - (from French, meaning "almost seen") is the sensation of being on the brink of an epiphany, very disorienting and distracting, presque vu rarely leads to an actual breakthrough. Frequently, one experiencing presque vu will say that they have something "on the tip of my tongue".
Reja vu - The feeling something that has happened or is happening will happen again, possibly in the near future, possibly in the distant future.
Deja entendue - (literally "already heard") is the experience of feeling sure that one has already heard something, even though the exact details are uncertain and were perhaps imagined.
And for Bernie..
Voodoo - A black religious cult practiced in the Caribbean and the southern US, combining elements of Roman Catholic ritual with traditional African magical and religious rites, and characterized by sorcery and spirit possession
