Looks rather yummy, Andy. Here, partly to brighten the gloom brought about by continuous rain outside, and partly to put off the dreaded report-writing, I've been baking:  Triple Chocolate Brownies, to a recipe of one of my pupils! It needs to cool in the tin and then set in the fridge yet, but sometime this evening.... nomnomnom!  |

I can happily verify they taste good too! Note the chunks of white chocolate poking through the soft centre!!   (And I have finally made a start on the report writing marathon...  ) |

Rummaging in the fridge this morning I found I have over-catered on the Veggie front. I have spinach, leeks, tenderstem broccoli, and new pots. So there was nothing else to do. Tomorrow Welsh Lamb (well, we grow enough of the buglars down by here, we have to eat them don't we afore they trash your wheelie bins or pass over commando style the cattle grids? Otherwise the European Community Common Agricultural Policy would fall apart) with a tasty redcurrant and rosemary glaze, and said veggies. NOM NOM NOM for tomorrow.

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

Today I have been mostly eating beefburgers.
I've been in transit and seeing them reduced in ScotMid this morning I thought 'why not? I haven't had mystery meat for ages!' and fried them in duck fat. Um. That's not normal is it? Anyway I feel like I need to eat some blueberries now.

Talking of meat... If anyone is within a 50-mile radius of Stockbridge, Hampshire, go here:  and buy some of Robinson's Butchers award-winning pork sausages. I was there briefly at the weekend and did so myself. They are quite the best I've ever had. (This is the sort of old-fashioned butcher where you take a chitty to a separate counter-person to pay, and they have a be-capped little dandypratt sweeping the sawdust on the floor.) |

That's wonderful. I didn't know places like that still existed. What's a dandypratt? It doesn't sound a very pc expression. |
