Catching up on MasterChef - the knock out rounds.

Called the parentals. They're well and chipper. I was told in detail, twice, about the procedure in force at their local Tesco. An hour on the phone! I think they were starved of fresh conversation.

Dad is struggling with guitar lessons over Skype. The technology is working, it's just that he doesn't get on well with the remote nature of the teaching. But he's still enjoying the lessons and is practising in-between them so it's not so bad.

Happy Traum's Picture Chord Book.

I taught myself to play in the 70's/80's with it.

And my first neg rep issued!

Much appreciated.

I reckon there’ll be five bowlfuls left for the freezer

Six, it turned out

No namby-pamby bowls, either. About 360g of soup per bowl, and it’s so thick it’ll need diluting

Oh dear, looks like you have a friend for life there.....

I've had much negative rep, strange and often very abusive attached messages over the years, it's very character building

My favourite was Churchill when I asked for rep as a Birthday present. Naturally he gave me negative.

I suppose I must be really bored to respond to a noob like that....

My only negative rep came from a very large prolific poster on here...

MF? He likes neg rep too....

And back in real-time!

Did was fish and chips. From the freezer. MrsBP getting very fed up with shopping at the moment.

During dinner we carried on with Narcos. S2E10. Pablo will die soon....

Then carried on with the Crown. S3E4. Or is it E5? Anyway, Prince Philip's mother has come to live at BuckPal after a revolution in Greece. Or something.

Then railway walks on C5. From North Wales. Some amazing old footage.

I have visited almosat all the filming locations. Including the fastest zip line in the world(Bethesda). DD wanted to do it - so I was going to be forced into going and I hate that sort of thing!

Luckily MrsBP stepped in. Well flew in is more accurate....

There was a PQR - Penryn Quarry Railway. I went there for my birthday - about 3 years ago. It closed in some sort of dodgy circumstances. They wre filming from the very spot they were based at.
