I have been meaning to try and find a good local chippy for years. A task which simply requires me walking to one and placing an order to see if I like it. Today, I finally did that.

Verdict: chips good, sausage in batter good, haddock not so good.

The fish was freshly fried to order but was greasy and had an odd, maybe old oil, flavour to it.

The search will resume next time I get the urge to leave the flat for chips.

Tonight’s motion picture premiere was No Hard Feelings (2023) in which wealthy helicopter parents pay a penurious Jennifer Lawrence to “date” their son before he goes to Princeton. This rapidly turns complicated, because if it didn’t there’d be nothing to make a film about. It’s very funny, and it all turns out OK in the end for everyone, so that was nice

Then a rewatch of Tetris (2023) because it’s always nice to see Robert Maxwell and his son Kevin depicted as the useless thieving ***** they were

And finally, a further episode of Silo

Goodnight all

Had some very odd dreams which I don't really remember enough of now. Headachy again but still having a coffee while I decide what chores to do.

My dream was about all the girls in the village getting pregnant but via some mind control, not by natural method. Out with LL1 later.

Afternoon denizens

Lots of cumuli around, making it cloudy with sunny spells. Mild enough at 22°C, which is the high for today; the barometers are up a bit at 1009/1017mB

A bedding wash is underway

Hmmm, that's an idea. There's a van that sells fish and chips at top of my road on Saturday afternoon. Myabe I'll wander up there to save me having to cook summit.

Tea was brought to me from the East African place

Very nice, but their chilli sauce is really hot!
