Done for the day, other than decanting supper from the crock pot. Am sitting back and taking it easy - and I have a and half a chocolate muffin. The muffins are mahoosive, there's no way I could eat a whole one.

I got a letter at lunchtime inviting me to stick a swab up my nose and down my throat as part of the Imperial / Ipsos Mori Covid survey.

I will accept the invitation. All data is useful in these situations. Did have a good giggle though, as I am an Imperial alumni.

I've done over 10 of those for an ONS survey. I've never had anything but negative feedback from them, which is just how you'd hope it to be. (I'd advise doing the throat before the nose though.)

'Tis time to go to the supermarket.

Ah, thanks for the advice on the order of doing things.

I'll sort out the blurb etc over the weekend. There's an online survey to go with it as well.

There's a bit on one of the season 3 Babylon 5 blooper reels that talks about the Minibar War.

Voices of Authority is the episode.

Anyways, I've fed the girls (they had a bit of steak)

And shortly it will be time to feed me.

 

[Reynard]

That's me fed...

Slow cooked lamb shanks with garlic & oregano, bulghur wheat, roasted butternut squash and the rest of last night's roasted veggies. The world is a very good place right now.

Am keeping the bones and the rest of the cooking juices to make scotch broth, while the rest of the meat will be diverted into a curry.

Hmmm, I rarely throw food away. And when I do, I feel really bad about it.

I sometimes discard a crust from loaf of bread, or a tiny bit of cheese.

I like a crust, usually with jam or marmalade.

Crusts aren't as thick as they used to be. Normally the two thickest slices in any loaf, not now.
