Trying to decide what to have for lunch. I think it’s a soup kind of day today; but which soup?

Homemade Pea and Ham! Would be my suggestion...

[DoctorStrangelove]

Soup? Lentil <pfffft>. Accept no substitutes. <- avoid this afterwards though.

Freecell score in the continuing drizzle: 93%. Running average: 83%

Lunch: poached tomato (large), scrambled egg (sans recalcitrant bits of shell coz it broke in a very unusal way. on Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed toast (crust), 1.05 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Neither pea and ham soup nor any variety of lentil soup in stock, unfortunately. In fact, not a great variety of soup at all once I dug into the freezer, but plenty of chicken and barley. So that it was, and very nice too

Oh, and the rain seems to have settled in for the afternoon

I thinks prawns cooked in garlic, chilli and butter are my new favourite !!!

Weather - slight drizzle, 6 degrees

Further to the perusal of "The 2nd Sleep":

My brothers has all been took by the army, sir, to fight the Northern Caliphate.'

Fairfax nodded encouragingly. 'Brave lads, I'm sure.'

That was a war that had gone on all his life and some said for centuries beforehand

Making one wonder where this was until one reads

tedious garriosn duty in some isolated Yorkshire moorland outpost

joining in holy matrimony a Mr Anwar Singh, 'computer programmer', of Clerkenwell, London, to a Miss Julia Morgenstern, 'web designer' – an occupation surely for a spider rather than a human

Sic transit gloria mundi after 800 years of post apocalyptic meltdown.

And the puzzlement over what might have been "The Cloud".

Then came a picture of one of the bitten-apple devices, its screen blank, followed by another with a skull-like face drawn on it, hands pressed to its cheeks, eyes and mouth both wide with horror.

Indeed, imagine the state of affairs when the bitten apple devices don't work any more.

Doomed etc.

Tea: the last of Sunday's roast lamb with carrots & onions. With a shedload of pepper, hot smoked paprika, and some Marmite(tm) it finally tasted of something. 1.05 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Entertainment: "ST VI: The Final Frontier The Undiscovered Country" being the final outing (not that sort of outing) of Ye Olde Gange before the new lot came along with "ST VII: Generations".
