Mild and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Made tomato soup this morning.

Had a lovely lunch - sandwich with cured salmon and cream cheese, a lovely ripe pear, a sweet, juicy orange and two

Tonight's beef fillet has defrosted. Just need to bash some tatties and turn some tomatoes and chicory into acceptable salads.

Oh, and there are some Portuguese custard tarts with my name on it.

I'm still digesting mine. The lardons let it down a little, supermarket in a packet ones and wet cured, the ones that boil for a while before they start to fry.
The local butcher sells dry cure poitrine fumeé, it releases no water.
Note to self, buy more of that, dice it and freeze it.

Ah yes, dry cure bacon is the bees knees.

Tesco's Finest dry cured and smoked streaky is where I'm at. Or the Polish smoked boczek.

A bygone era of quality TV

Not sure that was broadcast south of Watford.

My uncle is a bit like that too. All these restrictions are just an excuse to fine people to make money for the government....

I don't have a huge amount of faith in the government but I credit them with enough intelligence to not scupper the economy just so that they can earn a few hundred in fines...

If they had that much intelligence they'd have stuck to their original plan & not scuppered the economy.

Sounds like you need to rip it to a file.

That's the plan, eventually.

I have a whole load of irreplaceable footage of Paul Warwick that desperately needs to be copied from tape to DVD. When this Covid thing is over, I need to find someone who can do that for me.

 

[Reynard]

Oh, and Happy Birthday @raleighnut

I'll lob you some of my stash of Portuguese custard tarts.

When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you

If I get drunk, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I would drink 500 pints
And I would drink 500 more
Just to be the man who drunk a thousand pints
To fall down at your door

Well, that's another 10 virtual miles in front of the TV. I've now got to tackle a large avocado that needs eating.

Hopefully up early tomorrow for some miles
