    Up until a few minutes ago it was clear blue skies here, now it's turning menacing. The Wife's (tm) flight has taken off, half an hour late, and I suspect it will be a tad choppy over the Atlantic. Good job I stocked up at lunchtime to cover the next few evening's meals, and since it's me on my own (excluding dogs), then I decided to go for 4 ready meals, or "screw tops" as some might know them, and two that require a corkscrew.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        Pack of 2 or pack of 4?

        As someone with zero willpower, I opt for the pack of 2.

        Otherwise I'll be jam doughnutted out.

          They didn't have any packs left, so I got three loose ones

            I prefer custard doughnuts but churros are even better. Roman Road Market in Bow on Saturday mornings used to have a great churro stall.

                Tea, as forecast, was teriyaki salmon (Morrisons, reduced) along with a fillet of rainbow trout (Morrisons, reduced).

                It was all very nice.

                Whilst it's much cooler outside now, in here it's still like a sauna.

                Ho hum.

                I'd open the windows if I could get anywhere near them.

                Which I can't.

                    Tonight's tea has been southern-fried-style chicken thighs and drumsticks (actually baked), and fries

                    These were M&S chicken bits and I don't think the coating has quite as much flavour as the Sainsbury's equivalent, or even as other coated chicken bits from M&S. But still very nice

                      This evening's escape from the pollen outside was provided via S5E7 of "Person of Interest".

                      Followed by "Vantage Point" which is a good deal more impressive a film than the dvd cover might suggest.

                      https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443274/?ref_=nv_sr_1

                      Denis Quaid, Sigourney Weaver, Forest Whitaker, William Hurt and Matthew (how the feck did I get off that goddamn island 4 8 15 16 23 42) Fox.

                      Told in a curious way but very effective despite that.
