Had a go at shooting pigeons a long time ago now.



Would you like to have done national service?

I would have done it but I wouldn't have been happy

Last time you ate??

About 1.30pm. Toastie and an orange and a cup of ginger and turmeric tea

Just done a nice stint in the garden, very mild out there today! I saw a man in t shirt and shorts this morning Is this what we can expect from Global warming?

No, while it may be warmer you may find yourself wading through water as the sea level will rise

What's for dinner??

Chicken and mushroom risotto



Can you cook ?

Yes I love cooking.

Do you watch TV cookery shows then make the dishes shown?

Sometimes have a try at them, but can make quite a few of them.

I may have picked up one or two down the years

Which TV chef is your favourite?

Nigella.

Do you like puppies?

Are you referring to her floury baps?

He will be


Have you tried any of her recipes?

No, she does like her cream, and butter though

Why does Nigel Slater get mentioned so infrequently in terms of TV chefs??

I think Nigel is a lot quieter, not as extrovert, as some of the others. Could be because he had a strict Father and his Mum died when he was a boy.


Do you like his TV shows? (Quite relaxing).

He's my favourite chef by far! I liked his autobiography, Toast. And he cooks lovely looking things without spending an arm and a leg unlike Nigella whose larder and fridge look like an appendage of Harrods

Yes, I do.

Do you enjoy a Donner Kebab from time to time??

No Orrible greasy things

Wouldn't you rather have a shish?

Nah, too chewy

Chicken Tikka??

It must be many years since I had that. Is that the one in the sauce or the dry bits?

Marinated chicken, on skewer, roasted in the tandoori oven 😎
Do you still hang a washing out in this weather??

I do if it's not raining! It won't get totally dry but it smells nicer if it's been out

Today damp things are festooned in the spare bedroom but as no heating is on the drying process will be slow

Do you own a dehumidifyer? I had one, but we had a crisis in the cat shop with damp so I let them have it

Never owned one of them.
