Up, writing yesterday...


Today's soundtrack was mostly things acquired thus far in 2023 - I am posting a daily pic at then end of each entry - plus a digital version of a tape of Hawkwind I made in 1974, some songs being considered for the July wedding gig, the excellent Fripp/T Dream-like sounds of Heldon and delving into the back catalogue of Hélene Grimaud...

As of close today, the tally of new things sits at 99 items, lasting just over 4.5 days - we are 8 days into the year...

Oh dear...

Anyway, sky...


Blinds...


Moon through blinds...


Breakfast with Anne, post having added the daily pics of acquisitions to the previous 2023 entries...


Then, out to do my mum's shopping, a visit to Anne's mum and then out to mine and home again...

Lunch of the remains of yestrday's home made soup...

And a "Jack Ryan" - we are struggling to follow exactly what on earth is going on...

Not to worry...

In the afternoon, Anne returned to her roulade, the sponge for which was attended to yesterday and had to be in the fridge overnight apparently...

It was now ready to roll...


...while I mucked about...


It was very good indeed - although Anne pronounced it a bit of a stressful pfaff...


This evening, soundtracked by the German punky sounds of Black Heino, it was my turn in the kitchen as I looked to create a risotto from a new recipe...




...which, amazingly (following some hairy moments where I thought it was going completely wrong), worked out fine, dandy and, indeed, tasty...


...with some left over for lunch tomorrow...

The roulade was further delved into...



...and accompanied by episodes 9 and 10 of the first of 10 (so far) seasons of "The Black List"...

Much easier to follow than "Jack Ryan"...

With Anne then turning to "Call the Midwife", I set about filling in some gaps in my Hélène Grimaud collection before lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Cooking...
