I don't like nets either, but apparently these are (or were) "very nice" so they've stayed.

They were inherited with the house.

The green bit on the bottom washed out.

I was beginning to think it was a feature.

Have been mostly faffing this evening and have achieved nothing of note.

Just realised I've yet to have some dinner. I think it will be a chicken kiev and some veg of some sort. All veg is enhanced with the liberal application of garlic butter* so that will work out ok.




*I seem to recall, from one of those factory type programmes many years ago, that commercial chicken kiev doesn't actually have any garlic in it despite the garlic flavour to the butter. I will have to double check that in case my addled brain is misleading me again.

The forecast for tomorrow is showing more cloud and a higher chance of rain. At 18 degrees it's likely to be a bit muggy too.

Dinner has been eaten. It was nice enough.

I really should cook something to have as a pudding one of these days. I have cooked and frozen apple and rhubarb that I ought to do something with.

I do dislike net curtains. They always look grubby, even if new.

As it transpired, the curtain looks quite good.

Now watching Bunker Boy on the Nine Ten o'clock news.

He really is a prick of the first water.

Dinner has been a roast pork loin crackling joint with the usual trimmings, and very nice it was

The potatoes were perhaps slightly below par, as they were fairly old ones that needed finishing off. But still perfectly edible.

Apple sauce

I thought of that but the surplus from the pies is a bit sweet and cinnamony, and I had a jar of shop-bought apple sauce in the fridge to go with the pork, so I reckon I'll save the surplus for turnovers

Dear me, it's only 40 or so years ago.

As it was eighty years ago that the Dunkirk evacuation was drawing to its end, tonight's entertainment (courtesy of iPlayer) was Dunkirk (1958) - IMDb, being the one with a linear narrative starringJohn Mills, Richard Attenborough, Bernard Lee (aka M in the Bond films) et al. rather than the recent one with the multiple timelines. Very good in a stolid English kind of way

Goodnight all

I do dislike net curtains. They always look grubby, even if new.

...and they smell of "dead flies"...
