Thanks! My family have something arranged and I have to be somewhere at 18:00, but I should actually be in town at around 16:30 and could manage a quick half hour - where will you be? (I'll send you a PM with my phone number)

Camaurge rice is a reddy brown colour. And yes, white Zin is usually pinkish. And sweetish too.
It's what you get if you use red grapes to make white wine for people who don't actually like wine all that much...

There's been some kind of incident on the main road through the village so all the rush hour traffic/trucks et c the traffic had been diverted/is generally trying to find a way through our street. Our street is fairly wide, but of course a large chunk of that width is taken up by about sixteen people storing their property so that's reduced the width to the point that two cars can't quite pass.
Naturally all the drivers think their journey is by definition the most important, so they're trying to push through, and once someone is forced to give way then all the cars coming in the other direction are pushing past and they get stuck.
And then a truck comes along and he's a bit slower, so of course the stuck car tries to move a bit further...
As usual, pavements have become a part of the road, and as usual our local police are turning a blind eye...
Still, we're getting a grandstand view of the chaos. I just hope the blockage doesn't mean someone has been seriously hurt.

Whew, that's the pen base finished. 
The contrast border looks fabby, but it's fiddly sewing and a case of measure umpteen times before pinning, tacking and then stitching. All I have left to do now is the cat bed, the litter tray frill and the tie-backs for the front curtains.

Chicken katsu curry here tonight, with bulgur wheat and steamed veggies (baby corn, green beans and sugar snap peas).

It could be wholegrain Italian Rissotto rice, I buy that.

Pasta and sauce for Dinner. The sauce is fine but the pasta is showing no enthusiasm for boiling...

Yeah, @Reynard picked me up on that one, and you're both almost certainly right.
One day, if you all ask me really nicely, I'll tell you about making rice pudding in the African bush over a campfire.
