    Just long enough for the gamey flavour to develop?

      Nope.

      Hope it's not the "usual" which is either the Marina or the Tawe.

        Home, and holiday!

        Not too bad a trip back

        Now trying to decide whether to rush through tea and go across town to see a band, or give it a miss and just relax

          Tea has been homemade chicken soup out of the freezer, with croutons and a thick hunk of that brown bread with lots of different seeds or some such in it

          And I have decided in favour of trekking across town to the gig

            I've been put off chicken for a while. (See General)

            Didn't realise that Next wasn't that old as a retailer.

              This evening entertainment was "Knowing" (2009) Nicholas Cage.

              Quite creepy until the reveal.

              Enjoyable if daft.

              Followed by S1Ep11 of "Person of Interest" where our hero is confined to a wheelchair in proper "Rear Window" fashion.

                Home again, after what can only be described as a night out

                The gig was excellent. It was Marrakesh Express, who are most of Diesel Park West plus one, doing stuff by the Hollies, the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and CSNY. Very good stuff, with the set interspersed with brief contemporaneous video clips of interviews and such explaining how things came together, but it's mainly the band having a good time playing good songs

                During the break, Rick (from the band) was stood just by me chatting to someone when an elderly gentleman with glasses and a neatly trimmed white moustache, wearing a smart tweed jacket, approached him and shook his hand vigorously, crying "Rick! You're ******* killing it tonight mate!" thereby proving that these days, there's a fine line between and

                And on the way home I stopped off in the local I don't often go in since an arsehole became landlord, where I had a good chat with our local paper's crime reporter. Being a local journalist is a pretty precarious thing these days, it seems. So maybe my decision to go for the degree in philosophy rather than taking the job as a trainee journalist on the Biggleswade Chronicle all those years ago was the right one after all

                Goodnight all

                  Morning denizens

                  Rained after I got in last night, which was unusually considerate of it, but it's stopped now and the day's just very grey and gloomy

                  It's going to rain again later though

                  Anyway, the bins have been liberated, and that's the main thing
