I am having an exotic Sunday Lunch. Spam and beetroot sandwiches.

OK, gardening done. Beans cleared up, rogue tomatoes staked up and dead foliage in the garden waste bin. Now, we’re enjoying a glass of wine or two. Julian Faulkner’s Côtes de Provence Rosé 2025. Ideally would be good with a crab salad, but we don’t have that to hand, so we’re eating home-grown strawberries and some cornish cheese instead.

I’m eating some 99% Lindt Cocoa

Go on. You just know you’d love to try these!

Not a brand of crisps that you see too often these days!

OK, I have to concede something. My wife has been saying for ages to get a rice cooker. I said, “What’s wrong with a saucepan?” Anyway, a few weeks ago, I got one. They are surprisingly inexpensive. Today, I’ve made rice, and I didn’t have to keep going to the kitchen to check it.

A day at home today. Making dinner now. My wife will be home in about an hour and a half. Cracked open a beer.

An early lunch before we go to Ealing Beer Festival.

Home made chips, grilled pork ribs, lettuce

We are going to have brill for tea, with a side salad

It’s a lovely, pleasant Sunday here. Meeting friends at my local in an hour or so for a Sunday Roast.
