        Huh? - it's what we always called it,- i don't think a west of scotland council estate <where i grew up> could be called posh. - calling it 'tea' was posh.

            And very fine it all was

            Particularly A Canterbury Tale (1944), in which I don't think there's a single shot you couldn't capture as a still, frame, and hang on your wall

              Luxury.

              Had a big tin of Heinz(tm) Baked Beans with little sausages (BBE 2015) for my tea.

              Currently 2/3rds through Lethal Weapon 3, which is paused to make way for Doctor Who.

              It will thereafter resume, and then be followed by the Oak Island nutjobs in its usual fashion.

              Doctor Who has proved so interesting that I'm changing the cell in my watch.

              I may be some time.

              <25 minute hiatus>

              Glad that's over.

              And the watch cell has been changed without losing any of the little screws and such like, and lo! it still works, mostly thanks to the purchase of a card of cells from Lidl(tm) some years ago, one of which turns out to be The Right One.

              Getting the little screws back in turned out to be a challenge, as did getting the back back on the right way round.

              Another challenge was pressing the buttons in the usual demented fashion whilst attempting to remember how the feck the thing adjusts.

              And now it's done.

              For another 5 months.

              By which time I'll have forgotten it all again.

              Didn't think much of this ep of the good Doctor really.

              There's not enough oxygen in the air for spiders to survive at that size.

              Back when there was 25% O2, there were dragon flies with a 1 metre wingspan.

              And so we resume the final half hour of "Lethal Weapon 3".

                  I've got Lethal Weapon versions 1 to 4, but it appears I've only watched the first one, about two years ago. I should fix that

                    I'm practising drinking my mug of tea with my pinky finger sticking out so I look even posher.

                    The Oak Island nutjobs found some baulks of timber which seemed to be cut on a circular saw, apparently this was disappointing.

                    So they're drilling another big feck off hole a bit further away because the previous borehole had a gold coloured object in the CCTV picture.

                    They also found a copper ring and a copper coin with a metal detector at a site in the forest.

                    The excitement was palpable.

                    In other news, yesterday's bonfire relit itself this afternoon, much to my amazement.

                    Plainly the ashes weren't as cold as I thought they were.

                    So enough smoke was emitted to satisfy any self respecting Apache sending smoke signals.

                    A recent check showed that the stuff had all burned away by this evening.

                    Such a wonderfully successful weekend is its own reward.

                      Tea tonight was pork chops, with chips, peas, gravy, and a stray Yorkshire pud that was left over in the freezer; and very nice it all was

                      Been out to the bins and it's not warm out there: 2°C, apparently
