Up at 4:44 feeling gruesome...

Eventually, the Trumpets of Satan having been silenced, back to bed and, consequently, slept in till 9:45...

"Something for the Weekend" was followed by "The Dark Knight" on DVD...

We both agreed that, while this was very entertaining, we enjoyed "Batman Begins" more...

I can't see why everyone raves about "The Dark Knight" - it's good, but not that good...

Mid afternoon on this lazy day, Meg the Black cat lounged on the settee...





...while I surfed, uploaded several new podcasts to be published next week and then sang through a ten song set - my first playing of the guitar this year...

Not bad...

Then, to Tesco's for the ingredients of tonight's culinary efforts from your correspondent...



Leek and Pancetta Risotto - very hard to get a risotto right texture-wise apparently...

Also doesn't help when you forget to buy the leeks...

Onions were quickly substituted...



...and, after around 50 minutes, the dish was ready...



Anne was amazed and I triumphed again - "texture just right" was the opinion of the second helping scoffing Exec Producer...

Eschewing "Celebrity Dancing on Ice", I retired post dinner to continue the list work and to write this up for the last two days...

Highlight of the Day : Cooking...
