      Luckily people have brought out B&Q and Wilko's so loads of Christmas lights and random trees decorated to cheer up the greyness
      People down our road have really gone to town with the lights this year. Most, apart from a few miserable old gits like me, much earlier than usual. Brought some more lights at garden centre earlier, put them all up tomorrow.

        The video on this article is interesting in describing how they cracked the zodiac killer's code. I wonder if they will ever figure out who it was?

              I had some beef mince and veg that needed using up so I've made a couple of small cottage pies. I'll probably have one for dinner today and the other in the week.

              Now to decide what to do with some pork mince. I fancy something spicy for that.

                Funny old world. I've about a dozen single malts, but my "go to" is always Bells[emoji2400] and soda, 3 blocks ice.

                    Chicken soup started in the InstantPot™ - it'll be the zingy tomato one this time

                      Lucky you ^

                      Kilo of rump, browned off in lab with garlic and thyme. Red wine, shallots, tomatoes, more garlic, vinegar. Deglaze.

                      Thin slice potatoes, olive oil placed around edges of roaster, steak at bottom. Sauce over, roast in oven 60 minutes.

                      Bitoque Deluxe version.

                      Very nice it was too. Rioja Crianza was the fitting wine to cut the fat.
