    You know that thing we’re you go to a village fete and buy a cask of beer for £40 then invite your neighbours round to drink it?

    No?

    Just me then...

      As predicted, this evening's meal turned out to be Liver, Bacon, with onion and mushroom gravy, which is a first, largely brought about by rather stupidly cooking the bacon, onions & mushrooms in the same pan.

      Tasted ok, though I put rather too much chili pepper in with the flour which spiced things up rather more than expected.

      The liver was a pack, Morrisons, reduced, that had festered rather a long time in the freezer and was distinctly past its best.

      The evening's entertainment began with the final 45 minutes of "The Conversation (1974)" with Gene Hackman, which was mildly interesting.

      Following this was "The Grey (2011)" with Liam Neeson, which is definitely a bit of a downer.

            Back from the pub after a pleasant session discussing a stolen Orion, the remarkable detail in 18 megapixel photos of Yorkshire, cheap stuff from Aldi in the context of Viz Comic, and other such matters of moment

              DOH! Not 18 megapixels; my photographer friend has been testing a new thing that took ~180 megapixel photos, which is a LOT of megapixels

              Well, I think that's what it was, though I might have remembered incorrectly. It might just be 130 megapixels, but the number 180 rings a bell

              Anyway, it's loads.

              Moving on, my post-pub entertainment was a rewatch of The Accountant (2016), which is without doubt one of my favourite action films for reasons I find hard to define but which work for me

              Goodnight all

                  Morning.

                  9

                  Dry.

                  Sunny.

                  No discernible precipitation.

                  Dozed until 09:10 this morning.

                  All that gardening must have worn me out.

                  Not that the sleep was particularly deep all in all but there you go.

                  The radio went on at 05:15, just in time for the World Service to transmogrify into R4.

                    Morning all tidying up after last night’s gathering. A bit overcast and there was the odd spot of rain when we went for a short walk earlier.

                      Today's Sunday lunch was roast beef (purchased 18/12/18 and residing thereafter in the freezer).

                      It was nice enough.

                      Also simmering on the newly repaired dual circuit radiant ring is a large saucepan of lentil <pfffft> soup.

                      Listened to an interesting programme on R4 about living on a desert island.

                      "Stranded! How to eat on a desert island.The Food Programme"

                      BBC Radio 4 - The Food Programme, Stranded! How to eat on a desert island.
