I have just lost a Scrabble for the third day running. And today I thought I was doing so well, with lots of long words to the good. Undone by an opposing 'Q' on a triple letter in the closing minutes of the game. Must concentrate tomorrow. Maybe the brain was done in by the excellent toad in the hole we had for lunch, so maybe I should go easy on lunch tomorrow.
The image above was turned up by Bing on the search term 'disaster' from a site which is something about using social media to predict them. Too distraught to check out what this might be.
PS 1: there is a channel on Freeview, some number less than 50, so not in weirdo-land, which seems to show nothing but disaster films. We were watching some of them, initially amused by how true to formula they seemed to run, but then we were terminally irritated by the irritating teenager who seems to be part of the formula and have moved on.
PS 2: BH tells me that to make a good toad in the hole, care is needed with the prior partial cooking of the sausages, the amount of egg in the batter (two on this occasion), the mixing & cooling of the batter (over some hours) and the temperature of the oven. All a mystery to me.
