    I chucked out several freezer-burnt and, I think, quite ancient chops. I need to get a vacuum pack thingy. That, or Sainsbury's needs to stop selling chops in packs of two, one of which I eat while the other ends up lurking in the freezer until it has to be chucked away
    Or follow my trend and eat both

      I did that for a long time, but I was in danger of having to buy new trousers, so I cut down

        Made a nice change to be able to walk down to the Chinese without half-freezing, and with a bit of light still in the sky

        Chicken & sweetcorn soup, beef in black pepper sauce, and egg fried rice. Very nice it was, too

          Haven't drunk any booze since Sunday. I think I'll have a beer and watch some televisual entertainment

            The super new ZeitTelly has concealed buttons wot let you tune it in to stuff in the absence of a functional zapper.

            Or at least it would if two of the buttons were still there.

            However, deft use of the end of a biro (other pens are available) allows tuning to proceed.

            It's now tuned in to the two vcrs, the satellite receiver and the freeview box.

            It's still sitting on the floor though.

              I've just had a bottle of Old Peculier.

              It was very nice.

              I think I'm becoming addicted.

              That's two bottles this week.

                And now it's almost time to watch NCIS.

                The original and best.

                S3 of Longmire is on TCM this coming Sunday at 21:00 to 23:05.

                  Plus I bought a new tv today.

                  A Panasonic tx-25 crt one.

                  It cost £7.99.

                  Unfortunately it doesn't work with the zappers I've got.
                  One of these?



                  But why ?!

                    Got distracted by fiddling with a spreadsheet, working out a reasonable estimate of what my financial reserves will be at the end of this gig in July. I think I may take a nice, long break over the summer

                    Though knowing my luck they'll renew, and I'll just have to keep on adding more to it

                    Still, so much usually gets consumed on hotels and suchlike when working away; it's a pleasant change to see the reserves building up so rapidly

                    Now then: Breaking Bad, I think

                      Wondered if I was more drunk than I thought, then realised the telly was only blurry because I'd forgotten to shove my glasses down my nose. Better pour another glass.
