    As for forgetting them, they were in my workshop with various (important) pieces of wood (set aside for when they will be needed,) sitting on top of the boxes

          However, if that were the case, I suspect you'd be looking rather yellow.

          So I'd take it as a green light to carry on as before.
          That's the plan!

          Tonight's repast has been chicken in red wine sauce (out of the freezer, from January) with chips and petits pois. Exceedingly nice, it was

            Dinner/tea this evening was M&S battered haddock, largely because they didn't have any breaded and thusly that's what I bought a fortnight ago, and bought again this afternoon.

            It makes a pleasant change from breaded.

            The mandatory two passes of assorted fabric through the WM & the TD have happened, leaving only the cottons to deal with tomorrow morning.

            The evening's entertainment was provided by "True Lies" with a very foxy looking Jamie Lee Curtis and a remarkably young looking Arnold, with Art Malik as a Naughty Person in the sight of almost everyone.

            1994 is a loooooong time ago.

            Ms Curtis was looking quite splendid.

            Though the silver vixen look she had in NCIS a couple of seasons ago is just as sexy.

              This evening's first feature was Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) being, as implied by the name, the rest of Kill Bill: Vol 1 from the other night. Good fun

              And after that, a movie premiere chez moi: Breaking In (2018), in which a woman and her children go to her estranged, deceased, and crooked father's house out in the woods, only to find that some very nasty crooks in search of the father's hidden fortune have arrived at the same time; the kids are quickly captured, and the mother battles to save them from the outside. All in all, it's like an inside-out version of the very good Panic Room. It trots out a large number of the standard tropes for such situations and there are a number of fairly obvious holes in the plot, but despite being pretty formulaic it manages to develop a character of its own. Maybe wait until it's in the bargain bin, but it's an enjoyable example of the genre even though it's never going to get any awards for Most Contrary To Expectations.

              Goodnight all

                Morning.

                Sunny (now, it was raining earlier).

                Windy.

                Bracing.

                Pleasant enough.

                1st pass ongoing in the WM, 20 minutes to go.

                Saturday morning shop & dvd browsing done.

                Chap I know down the road was found dead in bed after at least a week.

                That explains why I haven't seen him recently, poor sod.

                Ho hum.

                Sick transits on glorious Mondays, as it were.

                He should never have traded that Volvo for a Mini.

                    Morning denizens

                    Sunny out

                    But very windy and a tad chilly, judging by the blast that came in when I opened the kitchen window

                    And the weather forecast is threatening snow overnight

                      A vert wet and windy dog walk earlier. 40+mph gusts (according to the weather station) and sleet as well. Dog was ok, she just trotted along the the lee of the hedges. I looked like I'd been dragged through them.
