Spaffed. What an excellent word. Haven't seen that for years!!

I use spaffed quite a lot. Maybe I'll ease off if it's a Boris favourite

Lunch was a Ginsters Cornish pasty, Morrisons, reduced, with Heinz Baked Bean on Morrisons pumpkin seed toast.

It was nice enough.

Tea/dinner this evening was more of yesterday's roast lamb.

It was nice enough.

Followed by stewed blackberries (added sugar batch) with custard, which was Very Nice.

The evening's entertainment commenced with "The World at War", this being ep 10 about the Atlantic war from 1939 to 1944.

We're currently in 1940/41 with one of the few surviving Nazi U boat commanders grinning over his exploits.

Dear old Doenitz has said his bit.

Never mind 1943 & the reading of Naval Enigma will turn up soon, though the programme won't mention it.

Quite a pleasant evening here - sunny and Simpsonesque, without being excessively warm (21°)

Turns out that the grinning Kraut on the World at War was only there to grin coz we sank his U boat and took the bugger prisoner.

Doenitz lost his younger son on another boat.

Yes, we Boomers have been very lucky in that regard, as my mate & I observe every so often.

Though we did have the joy of duck & cover, "The War Game", "Threads", the Cuban Missile Crisis etc.

Just watched the Abandoned Engineering thing about a variety of lunatic things such as the septic iron smelter in Pennsylvania that apparently had a greater output than the UK in the 1940s, plus the Italian 1888 cannon that some poor sods took to the top of an alp in WWI.

Now watching "Invasion" being Sam Willis holding forth this week on 17th & 18th & 19th C. attempted invasions of GB, starting off with Bonnie Prince David Niven in Technicolor(tm).

I suppose he used that word during the pillow talk?

For tea tonight, the last of the chicken dopiaza out of the freezer, with the usual bits. Very nice
