Nod to DrS - last week a number of us on a Zoom call I frequent were discussing the Terry Nation epic Survivors. Thankfully it having been mentioned in here I'd watched enough to know what was going on.

And some of the scenarios suggested by NF with people being shot outside the hardware shop were starting to feel like the second half of Threads.... that film scared the life out of me, had me feeling wrong for days.
(Though The War Game has something similar at one point with looters being shot, and a similarly downer ending. It's interesting how in 20 years between the two productions it went from a nuclear war being like a really bad version of The Blitz to being the end of civilization as we know it. I guess that expectations shifted as we became better informed - as well as nuclear arms proliferation).
Cheery tonight, eh?Comment

Tea tonight has been more of the roast gammon, with chips, fried eggs and beans. Very nice
Not sure whether to freeze the last portion or use it for a couple of lunches. Probably the lunches, as freezer space is still at a premium
I see BR14 has managed to get himself cast into the outer darkness againComment
