Well, look at the reactions of this shower. I’d say she’d be well in there.

Sounds lovely, Carinthia xx. I baked some seabass and we ate it alongside stir-fried baby corn, mange tout, broccoli, chilli, ginger, spring onions etc. Needed using up. Mr Bee had a mound of rice with his, as evva.
We’ll be ‘popping around’ to a friend’s house, in the morn, to receive instructions on how to care for two house-cats for a few days. I shan’t be taking Poodle around to meet them 
Time for bed. Good nights, Cellarites,

The stew wasn’t ready so we had cheese-and-onion omelettes and home-made bread.

Not a shabby meal, by any stretch, Fishers.

Paella was not bad and it grew into enough for a second meal at the weekend
Am I the only one who finds a meal like paella or risotto grows in the cooking?

That sounds delicious, Fishy, & the stew will be even better after a nights rest.
Am musing about cheese & onion bread, now…

Nope - rice will do that (also lentils, for them as does)
One day I’m determined to recreate the mirtilli & gorgonzola risotto I had in Novara last year…
Meanwhile, I am distinctly pissed off.
1020 Monday (Irish time) - parcel picked up by FedEx in Kyoto
0935 Wednesday - parcel at FedEx depot in Kilkenny, having travelled approximately 15,000 km as the crow (or parcel) flies, passing through Osaka, Hong Kong, Dubai, Grace-Hollogne, Paris and Shannon.
I have wasted a whole day sitting here waiting, having been informed it was due to be delivered “by 6pm”.
The depot is a twenty minute drive from here…

Hard to bear, joe. So is my earworm:
Especially the yodelling bit, which has completely destroyed any notion of sleep since 04.28.

“About 12 years ago I got a call from Robert Plant’s agent. He told me that Robert would love to get someone like Arthur Brown to sing with on tour and asked if I could recommend anyone. I said, ‘I’m pretty like me and I’d love to do it.’”
