Had quite a pleasant day today. After the madness of
having a menagerie round last weekend, it was good to just chill out at home as
a family, enjoy a good roast and listen to some good tunes. Philippa is
currently enamoured with ‘Flavour Of The Month’ Lewis Capaldi, so while she sang
along to him in the kitchen I stuck my headphones in and enjoyed some Led
Zeppelin. It was my turn to cook the big meal, so we had some very nice smoked
gammon with the usual spread of roast veggies. I can’t believe how late in life
I discovered the joys of roast gammon. I’d always seen it as something you had
dry with chips, an egg and some pineapple. The first time I encountered it at a
carvery and tried it as a roast meat with gravy I nearly collapsed with uncertainty,
then nearly collapsed again with joy at the tasting. It’s wonderful. Especially
if you align it with some cauliflower cheese, which I always do.
This joint was quite a salty one though, so we’ve
both been drinking like we’ve got diabetes.
In other news - I’ve enjoyed watching the World
Bowls Championships this weekend. Not exactly riveting viewing, but a nice
gentle Winter watch while I wait for the Super Bowl next Sunday. The tournament
takes place less than an hours’ drive from where we live, so we’re talking
about going to watch it next year.
Mathew will be 2 by then!
Jesus…
