Sunday 17th March 2024

Still slowly recovering from last week's work schedule! Aki up early, though, to ready herself for Rowing Club. I got up as she cycled off into the drizzle. Porridged. Ambled over to Waitrose to get some pork spare ribs and sausages to make tonight's planned meal, minestre maritata, the recipe for which appeared in yesterday's Guardian. Got home in time to watch the Chelsea v Leicester City quarter-final...another entertaining game, which finished with Chelsea edging ahead in the closing minutes. Aki got back in time for the Manchester United v Liverpool tie, which proved to be the game of the round...I was rooting for Klopp and his merry men, but they were undone in the final minute of extra time. Cooked the pork and vegetable stew. It was OK...I expected a bit more flavour, given that it had been simmering on the hob for two-and-a-half hours. Finished the tiramisu for afters. Caught up with Jim prior to his stay next weekend...they don't eat fish as they seem to have read too many scare stories about salmonella poisoning! I asked him if they were bringing their own food with them!?! Nowt on telly this evening...ended up watching a programme following the travails of the TfL staff as they work a shift on London's public transport system. Early bath, and bed...
