Had my dinner which was a tofu surprise! I used some ingredients I would use in a Korean spicy chili and garlic dish but cut down on the chillis. extra maple syrup (skinny) and added mushrooms which were just sat in the fridge. Delicious as it turned out! Now having a cuppa of course

Supper was the last of the butternut squash soup, then salmon-in-a-parcel with spaghetti & pesto and roasted baby plum tomatoes, and the last of the apple crumble and custard for afters.

They are lovely little animals. I have seen one for years. I picked one up once , it was crossing a road, I stopped my car ,got out and put it in a verge. I bet it was cussing as I probably put it back where it came from .

They don't half bite, though.

Lexi sometimes catches them. If they're still alive, you've got to watch out for those gnashers. Their coat is so soft and tactile, however.

Legally they're classified as biscuits for tax purposes.

I've been vegetarian so far, today, apart from a small pork pie that needed eating...

reminds me when I smoked cigarettes. I would say "I don't smoke I only bum them". meaning I don't buy them

Yesterday,I saw Once upon a Time in America in the full directors' cut, almost 4 hours. The version shown in The States back in 1985 was only about 2 hours long, and made little sense. Well worth the 4 hours.

hmmm about 10 years after godfather II. never saw OUTA probably because I had just moved to Boston, once upon a time

 

[rockyroller]

Op postponed until tomorrow, and I haven't eaten for 22 hours. Start starving again from midnight.At least I hadn't changed into those paper knickers.

yikes here's hoping you were able to get at least 1 good meal?

in related new, a work colleague is having thyroid cancer throat surgery tomorrow. out-patient style meaning, no overnight stay in hospital

Thankfully most of the commute is sufficiently rural that it takes a fairly intrepid dog walker to come that far out. They all seem sufficiently awake.
Right now the problem is tractors moving grapes about for the wineries, not because they're badly driven, just the sheer numbers...

Rather like here, with the corn and soybeans. I may have to go to Southern Illinois soon. Illlinois is about the size of England , so this may be a 300 mile round trip, my living about in what would qualify as The Midlands.

Part of a trilogy, Once Upon a Time in the West, Duck You Suckers, and Once Upon a Time in America. Sergio Leone liked his trilogies. Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly were also intended to be a trilogy

OUTA had horrible reviews, because it was cut beyond all comprehension for US audiences. Netflix has a near original European cut, more violence and the like. Also a more cohesive story line.
