It may or may not interest you to know that I was an extra in the Poirot episode The Mystery of the Spanish Chest. You can see me sweeping across the screen in the theatre scene. It was the second extras job I ever did.

I’m going down to the powder coating place later to get a frame and fork done.

@CarlP you are now the coolest person I know. Did you get to see Suchet dressed as Poirot?

Yup, sat next him in the theatre scene but that was cut, he didn’t come out of character. I did another episode about a year later on the south coast, can’t remember the which one, and having watched all of them recently I couldn’t see me.

Well, I only paid about 50p for the dozen, so not really complaining.
They *are* locally sourced though.Can't beat perky fresh laid though.
Standing up tall in the frying pan..
Even better poached, on greens, on sourdough toast
I know.
Soft boiled, with buttered toast soldiers from home made bread. Or fried egg sandwiches.
A friend in the village keeps chooks, so the odd half a dozen really fresh ones come my way every now and again. Not recently though, as her girls are getting a bit long in the

Spent the afternoon working on my new painting, but I've lost the light, which is awkward when there's a lot of delicate shading to do.
Am really
so going to have a 5 minute dunk in a hot bath and then snuggle up in my fluffy, fleecy onesie.

I thought last night's was poor, but this is tonight's offering from the main 4 channels:
Three soaps, and all the rest are reality/celebrity/fly-on-the-wall pap. Urgh!
Podcasts to the rescue once more ... and can do that whilst making a loaf

Well, I'm nicely catered for with footy commentary on the radio and snooker on the red button

Unfortunately sports does nothing for me either. Loved playing; hate spectating.Well, I'm nicely catered for with footy commentary on the radio and snooker on the red button
Clearly I'm too picky, but is too much to ask for a decent film, thoughtful documentary or insightful comedy? Not even one across all four channels. Instead we have " The World's Most Expensive Presents." Sheesh!

Each to his or her own
I like watching sports as much as participating.To be fair, I find myself watching less TV outside of news or sports. But there's often interesting stuff on some of the "lesser" channels i.e. BBC4, Quest, Yesterday...
And failing that, there's always a good box set or the i-player.

Murmuration of sparrows at sundown.
Not a massive one, but still the real deal
Whereas I get a murder of crows. Several hundred of them, all sitting on the telephone wires, kicking up one heck of a racket. Now I don't mind them, it's more that I mind the output. Corvid s**ts are massive.
I thought a murmuration refers specifically to starlings?

Forgotten to mention, whilst on my new recumbent, saw a velomobile rider amongst a group of roadies as I rode to a country pub on Sunday. We acknowledged each other as we passed.
