It has been a bad day.

Time to read Monday links to cheer myself up.....

What’s up buttercup

How close are you to going full postal?

Tea has been a couple of M&S duck legs in a port and orange sauce, with chips and peas; and very nice too

My mum had bought them but, for whatever reason, neither she nor my dad could eat or wanted to eat them (not sure which), so she stuck them in her freezer and passed them along to me yesterday.

And the chicken soup has finally reached completion and is being allowed to cool ready to spend a night in the fridge where the flavours can develop before freezing. There's loads of it

Just as well Asda doesn't follow Walmart in selling glocks.

My last attempt at chicken soup went mouldy.

So it graced either the drain or the compost heap, I forget which.

On further consideration, it might have been the drain since I've had increasing problems with the way the sink drains.

Having taken this long to finally work out a chicken soup recipe that I really like and can reproduce (and which is actually healthy because of the unspoken vegetables), I conserve it carefully - there's still at least one from a few months ago in the freezer

I'm off to the doctor's tomorrow - not the place next door but their main surgery, out in a village a mile or so past big Sainsbury's. It's just for some tests to do with the stomach problems from the other month, but I forgot to ask if I should fast, so I suppose I'd better in case I'm meant to. That means nothing from half eleven tonight onwards, and no coffee when I get up in the morning

Anyway, now all the kitchen stuff is dealt with, time for a film or some such

This evening's entertainment, such as it was, consisted of ep 3 of the Chateau thing with Dick Strawbridge et al, a deeply uninteresting P.K.Dick thing on Electric Dreams*, followed by a more interesting S1E18 of "Person of Interest".

And so to bed.

They liked it.

I didn't, having found it tedious enough to read the Radio Times for a while.

After all I have to get some value for the incredible £2.70 I paid for the fecking thing.

Band practice over, TFBSZ

Tonight's cinema came with a continental twist, being ID:A (2011) - IMDb in which a woman comes to lying on a rock in a river in France, having lost her memory. It turns out she's Danish and, as is the way of these things, up to her neck in all kinds of heavy stuff. It took a little while to get moving but, as is also the way of these things, everybody who deserved it ended up suffering a gruesome death, leaving the good people with the spoils. Pretty good, really, I thought. It's also mostly in Danish, so acts as a useful reminder that trying to understand spoken Danish is still an unsolved problem for anyone not born in Denmark

Goodnight all
