    Dinner at lunchtime, tea at dinnertime

      Yes that's the way it worked for us peasants.

      And yes, this time I had remembered correctly, "Predestination" is about 2 feet from the top of one of the piles.

      And no matter how hard I look, "Ebenezer" isn't there and doesn't miraculously reappear. Ho hum.

            And there we are, done for the day.

            Trip down to Morrisons for bread rolls for the week, followed by Yet More Gardening, which, in this instance, involved a fork in addition to the rake.

            Stone me, the roots of some of this tulipe seem to go down for yards.

            Then again, the stems of some of the brambles were about 3/4" in diameter, and the honeysuckle was about half an inch.

            A right bitch getting that stuff out.

            Couldn't be arsed to do a bonfire today.

            However, after much charging, the Seicento finally sprang into very noisy life, seeing as the exhaust is blowing.

            And my next door but 1 neighbour was enjoying himself felling an ash tree on the canal bank.

            At 12 years old it was about 25 feet high.

            The damn things are like weeds around here and seem to be taking over from the alders which are afflicted with some odd disease or other.

              Gosh.

              My daily bowel movement waited until 3 minutes after Doctor Who had started.

              Did I miss anything?

              We appear to have someone taking the michael out of Big Ears playing James 1st & 6th.

              The last time the evil one appeared in Doctor Who Sylvester McCoy was playing him.

                In order to ensure all bases are covered, my tea at dinnertime has been a full English breakfast, which was exceptionally nice

                  Following on from the tedium of Doctor Who, this evening's entertainment continued with "Hunted" with Tommy Lee Jones Benicio Del Toro.

                  The Hunted (2003) - IMDb

                  It was rather good in a "First Blood" sort of way, though no one said "Don't push me".

                  Now watching the Oak Island nutjobs doing their money wasting thing.

                    Didn't you miss out lunch?

                    Feck me, the nutjobs are getting desperate.

                    Now we've got a face carved into a glacial erratic.

                      I originally intended to have it for lunch, but I couldn't be bothered to cook it then
