Sandwich with lox & schmear, a minneola, a banana and two

I must say that the Polish cream cheese that comes in a kilogram bucket is very nice indeed. ( President-branded, £4 for the tub in Tesco.)

Here in France sanglier is eaten quite a lot in the season, the golden rule for cooking the meat is "low and slow" that is because the meat is almost fat free so it will dry out and become tough if cooked at higher temperatures. Of course the other essential treatment is to marinate in lots and lots of red wine.
Take a look at this it will give you a good idea of what cuts are best .

Running strips of lard through it prior to cooking is also good.

@Reynard I've just noticed that there was a Messenger update waiting for me on my mobile phone. Are you sure that you have the latest version? Version 335.2.0.17.75 is the one I've now installed.

I'm using a laptop, not a phone.

Between my son and I, we now have them all including the new books which are just as much fun as the originals.

I have a and some dry roasted peanuts.

Currently listening to England v Windies in the T20

Missed out on a nice late Victorian locket on the 'bay. Just got outbid. But I had to be realistic with my maximum bid, because I was factoring in the repair and new inserts that it needed. Hey ho.

Cool

I've also got loads of the Bob & Bobette comics by Willy Vandersteen. They're really cool as well.

That will probably happen today, I was working out accommodations for the camera and the like last night. I found a nice Lowe-Pro that will fit, and it has a rain cover somewhere. I also have a rack top bag that is made for photo equipment, although it is a bit long in the tooth.

There's a zip on mine that looks like a compartment but hides the (attached) raincover

I found the actual case for this camera some time ago when looking for a saddle bag, and I bought it then. I found it this morning, and it fits the whole rig well. I should break out my lighting system and see if that works, I bought a Photogenic monolight system at a Habitat for Humanity store in Peoria some years ago.

Oh boy what an app this hearing aid is.I can have the tv volume low for Mrs P but I can enhance my sound by using the phone.I was playing on it while watching Chelsea v Norwich,and every time I altered something Chelsea scored.It might come in handy against Wolves this afternoon.

Looks like the batteries faded a bit
