Tea has been a thick-cut ribeye steak with fried onions, chips and beans
Accompanied, as is traditional, by an episode of Trucking Hell. In this one, Merry's mighty truck was unwell and she had to venture forth in a lesser vehicle
Earlier, the car was a Ford Escort Mk. I which ended up bright yellow and sold rapidly. Taxed until September
And the gold hunters were hunting gold, but TBH I didn't pay much attention as I'd seen it before, and then I went to the kitchen to sort the food out
In better news, the cameras have picked up a hedgehog that has emerged from hibernation - and where it appeared in the garden implies that it was using the wine box house I built for it.

Go Hedgehog! And Go Hedgehog Wine Box House Builder!
Tonight's major motion picture premiere was Fall (2022) in which a couple of rock climbing gals ascend a derelict 2000ft high TV tower for YouTube views, but are unexpectedly deprived of the route of descent once at the top. It does make use of several tropes commonly found among the "lost with no way out" genre, but all in all, I thought it was pretty good
Finally, a couple more episodes of The West Wing. They're getting into the campaign now, which TBH tends to be a bit dull if you aren't American and can therefore see how ridiculous presidential campaigns are over there rather than taking it for granted as something Serious and Important
Spotted the first flat hedgehog of the year the week before last.
Wet side of Damp.

Meanwhile on the 14th of May 2019 NF had assembled a pile of PCW mags that was 3 or 4 feet tall, whilst I'd forgotten to fill the bird feeders and WTFH had missed a shot at a rat.

Entertainment: precious little.
The thing about Skunkworks is on tomorrow which explains why I couldn't find it in the EPG today.
"Fortress Britain" with that Alice Roberts: E1: Henry VIII. . This isn't cutting the mustard it must be said. Then again, very little seems to do that these days.
The first half hour of T3.
Conspiracies Decoded on Quest: Escape from Alcatraz: did they make it to the mainland?
Wharram Percy deserted village with pit of desecrated bodies: chopped up & burned.
The Lindbergh baby. Lindbergh was slightly right of Attila the Hun and good mates with a fair number of the leading lights of the National Socialist Party, being a believer in eugenics. Which might have turned out rather badly for his disabled son. Lindbergh ran the investigation into the kidnapping and patsy went to the chair.
140 Peruvian skeletons and 200 llamas (the camelids not the monks), all with their hearts removed. Chimu Empire, 500 years ago
Secrets Underground: goodbye California when The Big One hits.
