That’s a reason to be cheerful!
I suppose the daylight must have lasted slightly longer than yesterday, but I can’t say I noticed. It was a dull day from start to finish and it rained all day just to increase the agony. I had no intention of going out in the cold, wind and rain just to get an outside photo, but it wasn’t until late in the evening I got the inspiration to find the PoD.
We could have walked down to the shops, but they would have been at maximum madness setting and we had no real need to go out, other than to be out of the house for a while. Instead, I made tomato soup with a kilo of tomatoes I’d reduced in the oven for an hour and a bit, a big bit!. Then Wordle occupied a few minutes of my time and Spelling Bee is still waiting for my response. It will still be waiting at midnight when it will offer a new challenge which I will probably ignore. Life’s too short to try to puzzle out seven letter words, especially Americanisms.
Dinner today was pasta. That added to my confusion. I could have sworn that today was Friday, but that disappeared into history yesterday, so I had to accept that today was, in fact, Saturday. It’s just that we normally have pasta on Monday and having it any other day in the week just upsets my internal clock. Anyway, today was “What’s in the fridge” with penne pasta. It passed muster with Scamp, although I thought it was a bit bland and needed the kick that chilli flakes might have added had I thought of it earlier.
It was some time after dinner that I chanced upon and idea for PoD. It’s a Troupie called Starman who amazed the critics when “… Played it left hand …” Just a Troupie, some star shaped battery powered lights and a spotlight from a hand held LED torch. It’s amazing the things you can dream up when you’ve only got a few hours before the cut-off. Anyway, PoD completed before midnight.
We watched “Guys and Dolls” tonight. Old fashioned American film dating from 1955. Just a bit of fun, but Scamp enjoyed the singing and dancing in it. I felt it was a bit too slow, but maybe that’s just me.
Tomorrow looks like a windy version of today, so not a lot to look forward to.
