Bright Morning

It was a very bright morning, despite being extremely chilly. I went out in the morning and thought Arthur's Seat look very nice but proceeded to take an absolutely awful picture of it. I did rather wish I had my tripod with me and a little more time available, but by the time I dot back in, did a bit of tidying up an then poked my head back out the door it was chucking buckets, again.

Which was not really a problem as this afternoon it was football again, though not as much drinking this week as last as I was in the house alone and the derby last weekend was a fairly special affair which justified 5 afternoon pints (one for each goal of course). Still it was an excellent show by The 'Toon managing to beat Arsenal by a single goal. The scoreline may have slightly flattered us, a draw maybe being seen as a fairer result by the opposition, but not as flattering as the 4-0 Arsenal beat us by the last time we played. Justice was served I believe.

Dinner this evening was the always tasty 'Rice With A Crust' form the Spanish '1080 Recipes' book, served with some refried beans and a random fillet of fish (possibly bream, possibly bass) that came out of yesterdays freezer inventorying as something that had been in there a while.
