Cherries are hideously expensive, I understand bills and wages need to be paid etc.. but seriously

We have quite a few roadside stalls spring up where they are around £5 for 1.5Kg. Last 3 years they have been sublime.

Where's my "holding a candle in the dark" smiley?
I lost power at home 30 minutes ago, just when I had settled down to eatch a DVD after dinner.

But hey it just came back on as I typed this!

I am having a very fine lunch.

One slice of home baked bread with vintage cheddar topped with cranberry & nectarine chutney, and another, with a little creamed horseradish and thinly-sliced rare beef fillet.

Tesco had very large and ripe pineapples on special for 49p yesterday... so it seemed only right to get a couple. I've just had half of one for lunch. It had been in the fridge beforehand, so I was able to sit in this wonderful sunshine eating chilled fresh pineapple...
