The Crow With The Damaged Eye And Leg,

called by first,

and for a brief moment,

both crows were on the window sill, but I was not quick enough to photograph them,

on to our Sunday lunch, a pre-meal sherry and read,

for starters, 

a thick country vegetable soup,

'Cheers!',

for our main courses, Diana had a beef steak with gravy,

for myself lamb without, we do not quite know why it happened, that there was just one steak and one piece of lamb in the freezer, we normal by things in twos, but there it is,

for dessert apple and blackcurrant crumble, with custard and cream,

we also bought some red currants to sprinkle over the top,

and plucked them the way my grandmother showed me,

with the red currents even better than delicious, we were going to watch a couple out of the sci-fi box, but switching the television on Columbo was just starting, so we watched a few of those, in the evening a couple of films, 

firstly The Other Boleyn Girl, which we both enjoyed watching again, 

keeping to a similar although slightly later period in UK history, Elizabeth, The Golden Age, again thoroughly enjoyable with lavish sets and costumes, both a little thin on history, but so what? both are films film not history lessons, and yes hopefully we will watch both again in the future, and now for a bit of fun, as Halloween will soon be here, we thought we would get into character, 

in the vein of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride,

and here we are,

I thought Diana made a really good job of our transformations! and with that we were off to bed.
