Tonight we have cocktails at 1900hrs, then dinner at 1930 hrs. We're getting some gypsies in tonight at 2100hrs to do a bit of singing and dancing. (Bet they're all over 50 with big arses!). May have a couple of drinks tonight as we leave Budapest at midnight and head back up river. 38 today...too bloody warm!

Spanish, someone's birthday, me Annie and her sister out, fantastic tapas meal, a restaurant we've been in a few times, we then head Angel Pub, bit ad hoc live music (My mate Gary), Annie comes back from bar after buying a round with a glass of water for herself ??? next thing she disappears for ten minutes or so, comes back a bit white,,, she'd been sick as hell in toilet,,, we'd had prawns,,, huge chunky ones,,, it happens, had it once in a very expensive restaurant in Edinburgh, prawns for starter, instantly toilet, other end for me,,, I won't let the very occasional bad reaction to shell fish put me off, such a tasty dish, I hope it don't Annie...

Watching a very old Floyd, snapshots I've taken off TV comes up,,, I posted about large white bar/restaurnt to left of picture where harbour wall goes up about a year back, clue Dermo I mentioned a guy called Darren Clark..

Newcastle or Portstewart wasit??

Portrush,,, it was the day we visited the Giants Causway, we drove round the cosst a bit and stopped off at that bar/restaurant overlooking the harbour, were in the upstairs bar area, sitting next to us are this bling bling couple, looked as if there'd been transplanted from Marbella or the likes, as we're leaving a guy exiting the toilet gets in conversation with us going down the stairs, says something like "what's it like sitting with royalty", we ain't got a clue what he's on about, he goes on to explain its Darren Clark,,, we still ain't got a clue, so he further goes on to explain he's a famous golfer and starts giving us his life history,,, at the bottom of the stairs Annie, her sister and boyfriend exit the bar, I'm stuck with this guy ear bashing me about Darren Clark, history lesson over I exit the bar and join others waiting for me just outside bar door, Annie says, "bit star struck that one, Darren Clark this, Darren Clark that, by the way which one was this Darren Clark",,, I say pointing to a guy standing right next to her at the bar door having a fag, "him",,, there was no way he could not not have heard everything Annie said...

Garlic chickens for tonight, beef casserole for tomorrow and freeze the rest...

Haven't eaten since Thursday, I'm still not right but I don't have the pain, I'm just very tired and out of breath.

Fecks sake man go get a consultation to speed the job up, Today you saw how these places do things

I'm eating a cauld Stephen's mince pie that a bought for ma peice yesterday...

Never heard of "Stephen's" before but mince pies yes...

Seems it's a local company to Cam been going 144 years or so according to this...

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Suspect he's on about one of these,,, staple diet at half time at a football match in Scotland, mince pie and a cup of Bovril,,, needed it to defrost the limbs,,, Bite in to mince pie, explosion of grease making a bid for freedom down you hand and arm,,, no panic, because of the freezing conditions it solidified before it reached your elbow, so you just scraped it off and ate it, waste not want not...

Oh, and he wonders why his internals are fu#ked...

That said I ain't been much better today, Annie was meeting one of her daughters and her sister for tea, so I've just snacked all day, bought ingreedents yesterday to make industrial size spagboll today so still did, may have some in a bit, but allways better second day after its had time to marinate...

Most of this will be frozen so it's an easy heat up meal through the weeks to come, dozen or so portions there...

It's upside down again...

Ain't upside down on my iPad, and if it was upside down how come the contents of the pot don't fall out...

Screenshot of my post, all right way up...

Upside doon...

I don't care, got 16 portions out of that for less than a tenner, just about to have one now, oh, each container holds two portions,,, oh, Annie thinks game went to extra time,,,  ...

Took these two pictures one with iPad right way up, one upside down...
