I've been trying to remember the name of a jazz tune that the Deptford Jazz Collective played a couple of nights ago. I knew it had a Caribbean name and I kept on thinking that it might have been something like ''St Joseph'' without it ever sounding right. Well, I've just got it: St Thomas! (Sonny Rollins) With luck, the tune will stop earworming me now.

Interesting but random St Thomas trivia: it's in the US Virgin Isles but they drive on the left. I suspect that was a British Virgin Islands influence.
Also random but far away from the Caribbean: Büsingen am Hochrhein is a part of Germany but it's completely surrounded by Switzerland.

Did manage an hour cycling before lunch. Really excellent weather for the time of year.
First hour cycling this year.

Another couple of hours of heavy rain this evening - the good news is that I worked out that we hadn't had any rain for over 24 hours (but only just!)

I can get along with the mirror in the bathroom, it's the guy who gets in the lift with a mirror and the cruellest lighting that I disown.

It's been an OK day weatherwise here chez Casa Reynard, but it's now hosing it down again outside.
Slept well. Actually, I overslept, but tbf, I really needed it. Dealt with the backlog of recycling that was hogging the utility room (soft plastics, plastic punnets and cardboard from fruit & veg) as I needed to move it in order to get to the ironing board. Whoops! Anyways, that done I ironed my white coat in preparation for Saturday - am stewarding at the Capital / Eastern Longhair & Semi-Longhair joint shows in Ware.
Lovely luncheon of a chunk of Melton Mowbray pork pie, a flatbread wrapped around a filling of brie & cranberry sauce, a nectarine, a tangerine and two
Afternoon spent largely working on those engineering drawings again. As the basic catalogue for the collection is now done and most of the stuff pinned to specific projects, I can create a database of which drawing belongs to which project and which image file.
Cooked a fabulous supper of slow-roast lamb shoulder, roasties, steamed carrots & sprouts and a lovely gravy.
I had meant to cook the lamb joint on NYD, but there was just too much stuff in the fridge that wanted eating. Was better to leave it a few days so that I could actually enjoy it. And I did, it was a beautiful piece of meat (Tesco's "finest"), made all the better by having acquired it on yellow sticker in the Christmas Eve bunfight.
Plan on having a nice quiet evening.
