    Towel wash done, and towels hung on the clothes horse to dry overnight

      Watching this at the moment:

      BBC iPlayer - Panorama - Secrets of the Seduction Bootcamp

      Oh crikey it's making me mad. If one of those guys ever dares to approach me, they'll get a kick in the nuts.

        The spag bol was equally if not more unpleasant.

        The bol must have come from a different batch from last week's since it was bland and uninteresting, without a hint of chili.

        The spag tasted odd and the portion control was defective so for the first time ever there was too much.

        The rice pud was reasonable.

        Once more the 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie Tea made up for it.

        Today's viewing kicks off with "Hush" the BTVS ep where they all lose the power of speech.

        It really is laugh out loud funny in parts.

          i get the spice mix from a malay/dutch friend.
          it's her mother's family recipe.

          blindingly tasty and aromatic.

          's a hard life, so it is.

          oh, and the rest of the Rioja.

            Currently watching "Great British Car Journey" on 4.

            Axmouth to Lincoln along the Fosse Way (or some of it) this week.

            Rather fewer lunatic rally drivers, racing drivers and motorcycle sidecar racers this week, unlike the one last week through the Borders.

              They’ll come past me - I live on the Fosse Way

              And I ended up ambling down the Fosse Way to the Chinese early tonight, as a friend got in touch to suggest meeting up for a pint in a bit. So things have been a bit rushed, but it was very nice as always

              And I’m off out in about ten minutes

              There was a crashed car blocking an inbound lane by the pedestrian crossing down by the Co-op, with a police van waiting there, presumably for a recovery thing to come and take it away

              Suppose I’d better get ready to head out. Bye for now

                I used to drive part of the Fosse Way when I worked in Rugby.

                It came back some time this afternoon.

                Watched the BTVS eps deftly interleaved with the Angel eps as is only right and proper.

                Now watching the Oak Island nutjobs that I missed last Sunday.

                  There’s a lot of it about. I can’t remember if it’s the longest Roman Road, but I remember it’s the straightest - never more than six miles away from a straight line between some place in Somerset and Lincoln

                  I often think about Roman legions marching past here all those years ago as I look down at the road, and the more day-to-day traffic of carts and such that must have gone past. It’s strange to think that for nearly a couple of thousand years people have been going back and forth out there. I haven’t seen any ghostly centurions marching past though.

                  The excursion to the pub was enjoyable. My photographer friend has been over in Skegness, having been commissioned to take photos at the factory where they make those small rides for children one finds outside supermarkets and suchlike places - you know, sit your toddler on the elephant, shove 50p in the slot, and it rocks back and forth for a couple of minutes, much to the delight of the toddler and the wistful longing for a time when life was simpler of the parent. So if you’ve ever seen one and wondered where they come from, they’re handmade in Skegness

                    Wow another completely contrasting morning.

                    7 degrees. No wind. Sunny. Wispy high cloud.

                    Car started!

                      Morning all

                      Sunny.

                      Dry.

                      No current precipitation.

                      Simpsonsesque sky.

                      No good shall come of this.

                      16.3 deg in here this morning.

                      I recorded the Oak Island nutjobs so I can fast forward through it ignoring the vast amount of dross.
