Just started Discworld #14, "Lords And Ladies". Also a couple of old SF paperbacks. Also just started using Kindle, I bought 4 old SF stories as 'reprints' altho as Kindle books, not paper! Hence the need to get into Kindle. Google for Hannibal Fortune agent of TERRA" bonkers but good fun. -

Vango Ark 200+. Supposed to be real easy to put up and take down - I've got two bigger ones in same style but such a PITA to erect and repack simply due to size. A bit too big and heavy to carry around too. This is a 2 person tent (what the '200' means. The '+' means extended porch area). Intended as a new improved replacement for my Beta 250 which is getting a 'bit tired'. E.g. this has got flaps around the bottom of the flysheet that the groundsheet overlaps to keep the wind out. We like that idea don't we? -

Potato and cabbage stew. - Yeah sounds really naff doesn't it? But no is really good. Peel and cut some potatoes for boiling. Simmer for 15 minutes (add salt to water as required). Then add chopped cabbage (I used "tenderheart") and some of sliced carrot, also add some kind of proprietary seasoning - I used Knorr "vegetable stock pot" (Google it). Simmer a further 10 minutes or until done. Dash of black pepper and ate it with French bread. (What started this, I watched [again] a 1964 film "The Train" [stars Burt Lancaster & Philip Schofield] in which potato and cabbage soup* is mentioned and I thought, "yeah..." *Lancaster's character Labiche is eating it [with bread] in the hotel kitchen ) - -

Milk chocolate ripple. Before that fried bacon egg and beans with mashed potatoes. -
Just finished dinner and very nice too. And not half decent beer and plonk. Coffee to finish then I think I’ll be just about ready for me scratcher.

Slightly p!ssed - and haven’t started on the wine yet Just finished dinner and very nice too. And not half decent beer and plonk. Coffee to finish then I think I’ll be just about ready for me scratcher.

Am currently ensconsed in the Chesford Grange Hotel, on a cheap autumn break deal - but cor is it posh or what
I did think it might be a good idea to bring some more decent looking clobber to wear. And it’s huge. Will have an explore to try to find the restaurant and bar shortly - or may get lost...
well had an explore and found the bar and restaurant. Grateful I’m not in room 447 in on the attic floor right at the end.

A bit fragile after hitting the wine last night. Wasn't really properly p!ssed but still got the hangover type symptoms today. How does that work?

I've been told an apple is good. Has a bit of sugar to give you an energy boost. -
Trying to buy 6mm spiralwrap. So far I've received 3mm, and 6mm OD. What I actually expected is 6mm ID. Probably my fault for assuming, as hitherto I've got used to seeing this stuff sized in descriptions blurbs according to its inner diameter.
