TFBSZ. Neighbour's wife came round. 3 bottles of fizz and one of wine later...

Whitecross Market has some fantastic Street Food stalls. Worth a walk if you are in the City.

Ah that takes me back [emoji3]. I used to work 2 minutes away in Old Street. Whitecross was the company canteen. I used to buy something and sit in the graveyard to eat it (which was much nicer than it sounds).

Following yesterday's ZeitStandard fish supper, the ZeitMieleTumbleDrier was pressed into use.

It appears to work.

The towels are no longer like boards covered in sandpaper.

I could get used to this.

During the chores, entertainment of a sort was provided by "Wanted"

Wanted (2008) - IMDb

which proved to be some sort of comic book thing, never my favourite genre it must be said.

It was ok in its way & definitely worth the 33p it cost.

As it transpired, "The Italian Job (2003)" turned out not to have audio commentary, so that saved a good 1:45:15 of my life.

Instead I wasted 43 minutes on

which I found strangely uninteresting.

Afternoon denizens

Patchy cloud out there, though the sun's found one of the gaps at the moment

And that's the Saturday shop done & dusted.

They still don't have the coleslaw I like in Morrisons, so I assume it's no longer available.

Ho hum.

Lunch was a Peter's steak & kidney pie (reduced) with Heinz baked beans (unreduced), augmented with half a Morrisons quiche lorraine (reduced), which was very nice.

Once more, living the dream.

Last night's televisual entertainment commenced with episode six of The Pacific. The protagonists didn't seem to be enjoying life on a tropical island very much

Then I watched Unbreakable, having been suckered in on the premise that it started with a train crash. Spoiler alert: we don't get to see the actual train crash, and the rest of it is just one of those journey-of-self-discovery-with-a-twist stories in which M. Night Shyamalan seems to specialise

So, having been denied a train crash, I realised that although I'd got the whole Robocop trilogy (it having been cheaper on Amazon to get the box set rather than the first alone) I'd only watched the first one, so I watched Robocop 2 - and finally got an absolute train wreck. I spent most of the film trying to work out whether it was so appalling because of gross incompetence on the part of those responsible, or if they knew what they were doing but just had such absolute contempt for their audience that they figured this steaming heap of garbage was the insult we deserved

Ah well, can't win em all

By the way it's raining.

Oh no it's not.

It's raining again.

April showers in May again.

The only reason I bought "Wanted" was the presence of Morgan Freeman, who is generally rather good value.

Pity I didn't realise it was derived from a comic book.

The Pacific War seems to have been a bigger bloodbath than the European War was in the West.

In the east I don't suppose there was much difference from what I've read.
