Not a good week er last week. Actually, like the curate’s egg, parts of it were excellent. Visit by His Imperial Highness Prince Akishino, an 800 person conference and a big moon.

Sponge Cake

All this made irrelevant by a very distressing accident.

The weekend turns out to be wet and windy.

Rain on Monday, Sunshine next Sunday

What can a poor boy except to stay home, play the flute and eat?

To market, to market to buy a fresh squid, Home again, home again, you owe me 6 quid.

I go to the Squid Emporium and buy a very fine squid that has been freshly pulled from the Forth.

Squid with ink-black rice.

I also have a rack of lamb.

Totally not Okinawan

I cut some of it into chunks

I have never eaten so well.

Why am I so fat?
