The bins have been emptied, so I've been and got the recycling bin back before any of the neighbours get it

Times are desperate in Leicester.

Seeing WTFH's joke in joke thread about recycling reminds me. Recently I went through Mrs BP's drinks cupboard. Several spirits had gone off! I thought that was impossible. However drink 95%, leave and it will go moldy.

She had 4 open gin bottles. I complained she only needs 1. "I like different types of gin"! FFS...


BTW I gave up drinking in 2011...

Sainsbury's delivery has arrived

The use-by dates on the meat and fish are clustered around the start of the week, so I'll have to play Tetris with the contents of the freezer to fit some of them in there

I only got the fish (smoked mackerel) because I've got an appointment with the cardiac rehab people at the end of the month, so I want to be able to say I've been eating oily fish as they recommend

People who like gin do tend to be connoisseurs, and have different gins for different moods - a bit like whisky aficionados

Why is Gin called mother's ruin? I am sure it is children who ruin mothers.

And those mothers unlucky enough to be married to me....

And after having all that shopping delivered, I didn't even have any of it for tea

Instead, I had chicken in red wine sauce, which had been committed to the freezer sometime last autumn or maybe even summer, with chips and peas; most toothsome

All that Hogarthian stuff, innit?

While eating, I was watching the surgeons programme off BBC2, as nothing goes as well with fine dining as watching (spoiler alert) somebody having a third of their face literally sawn off, in HD
