Just been doing a bit of research on my favourite guitar. The guitar made one year before mine, by the same luthier, was supposed to go for £5000-6000. It went for slightly over £100k.

Might need to up the insurance on mine.

Tea: pork cutlet with chips and beans

And lunch, which I failed to record due to being a bit busy, was a chargrilled tandoori chicken thigh fillet in a wholemeal bap with a bag of plain crisps

The day at clientCo wasn't so terrible.

Leftovers for dinner.

Watching how carpets are made.

This evening's viewing started with Inside the Factory on the subject of bath bombs. And then, in memory of Ian Lavender and the rest, S6E1 of Dad's Army, "The Deadly Attachment", being the one with the German submariners and the famous line "Don't tell him, Pike"

And then I read more of Your Life in My Hands

Goodnight all

Breakfast - poached eggs with royal blue cheese.
Lunch - BLT in a brown bap with lashings of ginger beer. Sainsbury own brand which is pretty much the best choice (IMHO)
Tea - battered cod, boiled veg and tartare sauce with Hobgoblin ( there can be only one!)

Amdromeda S3 E13 on the box having watched far too much technical tulip today!

Morning all
Some patchy high cloud here, but once we got going it was a warm walk (currently switched from stockman coat to light jacket, will be wearing a t-shirt under it tomorrow instead of long sleeves)
