        And very nice it was, considerably more so than that I bought from the butcher for last week.

        A big thankyou to Morrisons for that.

        Currently listening to The Food Programme on R4 which, for no readily apparent reason, is about food in computer games.

        No mention of gagh though.

        It's sunny & warm here.

        Much of the morning has been taken up with Moving Things to Clean Underneath and Behind.

        There's rather too much crap in this place.

        More of it will be leaving this week.
        When the fun stops, STOP.

          As for face recognition, it works off relative positions - tops of your ears to your nose, distance between pupils, tip of nose to top lip, things like that. So if you had plastic surgery, you’d probably not be recognised.
          Those things never work for me I must have a funny shaped head or something.

              Bacon butty for lunch; and as it's Sunday, none of this wholemeal nonsense - lovely soft white bread

              By the way, yesterday the slow cooker yielded six portions of chicken and barley soup by the time it was done, at around midnight

                Memo to self: when drilling holes do try to remember what's underneath.

                Also washing the curtains is fascinating.

                Not.

                Ironing the curtains is probably even more fun.

                In other other news, her next door is out in the garden doing some much needed weeding.

                Him next door is off to Bath with his mother to see Michael Palin's show.

                    Possibly.

                    The label said they were machine washable and so they proved to be.

                    And survived tumble drying.

                    They're back up unironed since they look ok to me.

                    I did go to the trouble of finding the iron & cleaning the dust off it and the ironing board before deciding I really couldn't be arsed.

                    Having moved everything other than the televisual devices that sit in the corner, the vac is now much fuller of crap than it was.
