Still up.
Work was pointless from a doing perspective but fine from a billing one.
Dinner was a yummy cheesy pasta shells thing and asparagus.
I made a cocktail, eldest child made a cocktail, youngest child made a cocktail and now HWMBO is making a cocktail.
I made for adults only. The eldest made child friendly variants. Youngest made for adults only. HWMBO is making child friendly variants.
Televisual viewing has been focussed on YouTube food and cocktail videos.Last edited by ladymuck; 23 May 2020, 13:14.Comment

I thought it was a long time since I'd seen it.

San Quentin High.
First up to bat here tonight was Their Finest (2016), which I thoroughly enjoyed and which I don’t mind admitting brought a tear to the eye on several occasions. I know DrS has seen it, but the rest of you should pop down to any charity shops in your vicinity as soon as they open to get this one (or just buy it from your usual online service like me). Big recommendation
To follow, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011). As with the previous one, the basic principle of Holmes and Watson as vigorous men of action is sound (Holmes even comments on Watson’s propensity for beating crap out of first, asking questions later in several stories) but everything is terribly overdrawn, thereby ruining the entire basis of the thing
Also, jokes about Stephen Fry’s character being gay because so is Stephen Fry but that’s OK may have seemed ever so clever in that brief period when being gay had just shifted to being OK but was still seen as a bit outré, but nobody cares now if someone’s gay, so all of that seems incredibly dated. Still, I think they meant well, and I suppose it’ll serve as a kind of record of that time when society’s attitudes were changing for the better
And then, for no good reason, S1E2 of I’m Alan Partridge: Alan Attraction (TV Episode 1997). FFS, Alan

Dog walked.
Rain cloud passed by very fast, putting a few drops on the windows, but not enough to make a difference.
Back to blue skies.
Bread now rising in tins. (Fresh yeast wholemeal recipe, it only takes 4 hours end to end)
Now to cut the grass and other stuff.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
