Now...what's this button do?


Sadly, yes, it's come to this

I put an SD card into the kitchen stereo. Then I walked over to the cooker to turn down the burner under BLISS' greens, which were boiling too rapidly.

Admittedly, this wasn't too enthralling, and my mind wasn't at full capacity. It was wandering.

Still, when the music came on louder than anticipated, and I was reducing the heat under the pan, just for a fraction of a second, I was concerned to be turning a control anti-clockwise without any reduction in volume.

Just a fraction of a second...


What was on the SD card?

Well. After the home FA Cup disaster against Blackburn, I needed something warm and soothing. Taking away the thoughts of mincing up a tactically inept genius French manager and adding him to the ingredients making up Iceland burgers.

It was the Charles Lloyd Quartet. The Mirror album. Mellow and beautiful. It almost worked.

A Walking Dead catch up

I have my orders. [Hors d'oeuvres which must be obeyed. Comes bursting into my brain every time 'orders' are issued. I absolutely buy into the theory that we find Basil Fawlty so funny because we recognise there's a bit of him in all of us.] The Walking Dead. Season three, episodes three to nine, so says DLL, by next Friday night. She even sent me the link I need. I'd better get started. It'll be a pleasure, it's a fantastic series.
