Lunch has been turkey and barley soup with a crust of wholemeal

Nice soup that

[WTFH]

Lunch was home made butternut squash soup. After defrosting it, it looked a bit lumpy, but a good nuke and it went back to smooth. Quite spicy, so I added a dollop of sour cream.

For tea tonight, homemade pork chow mein

It's been a lovely sunny day in Funchal. Day 1 of holiday has gone very well.

After a bit of the motorway-avoidant police thing, tonight's viewing was the final episode of 7/7 on iPlayer

And then I finished reading February 1933 which actually continues until March 15 as it describes the various things the Nazis got up to as soon as they'd rid themselves of the constitution and any pretence at being constrained by law. On that basis, I give the USA until late February or early March

Goodnight all

[WTFH]

Morning all late checkin from me today, other things distracted me, like the stunning sunrise while out walking. Blue skies and sunny here now, but quite chilly in the shade, almost like it's January or something. The back of the house is warming up nicely in the sun, in fact thinking about it, I might de-camp to the dining table this afternoon for the sunshine and warmth, compared to my north-east facing office.
