            MrsBP cooked it - I just ate it.

            I am sure there were potato wedges though.

            London office almost closed - nearly everyone WFH.....

              Tea has been spag bol, freshly made rather than out of the freezer, and quite exceptionally nice it was

              Plenty left to go in the freezer too

                An hour and a half into "Sgt York" and he's only just arrived in France.

                Tennessee back in the day was just a tad primitive, assuming it really was like that in 1916.

                Quite funny to watch him applying Kentucky windage to a 30-06 rather than a Kentucky muzzle loading rifle.

                Would they still have used those in 1916?

                Apparently so:

                Strong pockets of long rifle use and manufacture continued in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and North Carolina well into the 20th century as a practical and efficient firearm for those rural segments of the nation.

                Long rifles could be made entirely by hand and hand-operated tooling, in a frontier setting
                Now watching the thing on 5+1 about recycling.

                I must be unusual in not throwing much food away, though the compost heap gets fed with lots of outer leaves and peel and suchlike from fruit and veg.

                Doesn't seem to do the worms much harm.

                    Ah, light reading for when you're feeling a bit peaky.

                    Spanish flu killed more people, but The Black Death killed a higher percentage of the population.

                      Indeed: possibly as many as a hundred million, versus more than 25% of the population in Europe (other populations dying on a vast scale are available)
