Thursday 13th November 2025

Languished in bed reading for most of the morning. Got up at 1100 and porridged. Read some Shirley Jackson. Aki cooked omelette for lunch. We wandered over to Waitrose to do a bit of a shop. Aki left for rowing club at 1630. I made pancetta with lime syrup. I had a venison and stout pie for dinner. The pancetta hadn’t set by the time I tucked in…it was just a small bowl of lime flavoured double cream…very tasty though! Watched a Netflix documentary on art-rockers Devo…the two main protagonists went into film and TV music once their brief reign had stuttered to a halt in the mid 80s. Interesting bunch…radicalised by the killings at Kent State University in 1970, at which they were art students. Watched the second half of the England v Serbia game. Aki back about 2200. Watched Question Time…deeply uninspiring bunch on the panel…aside from the very decent Ken Clarke!
