Last night I cooked a paella. Perhaps foolhardy, having a Spaniard staying with us!? I kept it trad\u2019, except for one or two things: I added chorizo, and the artichokes weren\u2019t raw\/fresh, but bottled (all I could get\/less hassle!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antonio did a delicious salad, to go with it, with mango, walnuts, and balsamic vinegar. I\u2019m not sure that his salad wasn\u2019t tastier than my paella. Well, never mind. For dessert we had tiramisu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great poster!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After dinner we watched The Bridge at Remagen<\/em>, on Amazon Prime. I have it on DVD, but it\u2019s faulty! The old 1969 poster is sooo<\/em> much better than the more modern packaging. My DVD, alas, uses the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmmm\u2026 ok, but less good.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The foodie pics at the top of this post are the leftover paella and salad, which we just had for our Sunday lunch. Antonio is now off visiting Dad and Claire, with the girls. And after that, he\u2019ll be in Spain till 5th June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m still seething over what happened at Morrisons a couple of weeks ago, and the further blows life sees fit to rain upon me. And that\u2019s making booking work with Amazon – easily and always the worst part of the job, by a margin – very dispiriting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks like we\u2019ll be missing this\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d planned to take us hup nurth, leek<\/em>, to the above. The idea was to go today. But poor weather, total exhaustion, and the desolation of penury – oh, and Teresa would prefer to stay home! – all mitigate against that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a slim chance – if I could book a nice fat juicy shift today, for example – that we might be able to go tomorrow. But the odds are, alas, about 100-1 against. Hey ho!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
