A celebration

We broke the 600 barrier at Scrabble yesterday afternoon, with my score standing at 345, BH at 269, exclusive of the small penalty of 2 against me on account of BH going out when I was still holding a hard to place 'U'. With 614 being comfortably past the post. Rather  better than on the last occasion - which was less than three weeks ago, so perhaps, with our near daily exercise, we are getting better. For example, our knowledge of short words involving high scoring letters is getting much better than it was, well tuned to the arbitrating first edition of OED.

We celebrated with cheese scones, the first batch of which is snapped above. BH, as the loser, was appointed scone cook for the occasion. Both batches knocked back in the one sitting, but without the spot of Calvados this time around.

PS: as can be seen from the snap above, the temperature in our fan oven is not as even as the advertisements for such things would have you believe, snapping against the light from the right notwithstanding. But not a problem; they all went down OK with just a touch of butter.
