Sunday Has Raced Around Again,

and for today's Sunday lunch, a treat, 

Diana had booked a table at Paplilo's in Beckenham, it is in what was once Beckenham police station, 

we sat near the window, 'Cheers!',

a pina colada for Diana, the usual red wine for myself, 

the pina, 

was very good, 

a perfect match!

it was so good Diana had to have another quick sip!

on to our starters, carrot soup for Diana,

smoked salmon for myself,

well I had to do another 'Cheers!',

our main courses,

roast chicken for Diana,

crispy pork belly for myself,

for dessert Diana chose a chocolate pudding, 

a mango sorbet for myself,

meal over it was outside for the walk home, the bill came to £102.00,

so a couple of poses, we were both absolutely full, and decided on a rest on the green on the way home, 

I soaked up a few rays! arriving home it was feet up for a Columbo, which we followed though to the evening with a Midsomer Murder, after which a film we were both looking forward to, but the woke police had struck it, I have to say I am sick to death when a film is made and 'extras' are added because it's characters are too white and all male, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, for myself and millions of others it has always been a taken, that doctor Watson is white, not so in the film, he is Indian, what the hell is that all about? and then even worse Moriarty is not only black, but cast as a women as well!!!! the woke brigade has struck again, the film is,

Enola Holmes 3, with this cast I really can not say we are looking forward to a Enola Holmes 4, I hate to think what Sherlock will look like in it! we rounded off the evening with a Have I Got A Bit More News For You, then as Diana has a early start tomorrow we were off to bed.

Day 5,

we spent the day at sea, 

looking at land that we were passing, 

and playing cribbage in one of the lounges, 

in the evening a treat, 

we had booked a table at the Indian restaurant on board, a few poppadom's,

as we pursed the menu, 

wine ordered, 

and a cocktail for Diana,

it was a tad spicy, 

with a red pepper split in half as a garnish,

'Cheers!',

as our,

main courses arrived, 

and another, 

all at sea in a Indian restaurant, 

eyes down and tuck in!

to our desserts, 

I have forgotten what they were but they were nice, 

all of this deck walking again got too much for me!

in the evening a great show, 

as its name implies The Tap Chaps put on a great show of tap dancing, in fact they were really so good, after which a nightcap in the bar before we were both off to bed, back to the UK. At lunch time Diana was off to work, a late shift today, for myself I started sorting through the hundreds of photographs I took on our cruise, and there were hundreds, every day! in the evening,

 time for my read and sherry, 

followed by a king prawn salad that Diana had left for me, 'Cheers!',

after which a treat, one of the speciality ports that Rainham Steve had bought for me on my birthday, delicious! next a film which I had seen before, but I do like films made in this time period,

 The Other Boleyn Girl, which I enjoyed watching again, I followed that with 

Venom: Let There Be Carnage, we both enjoyed the first Venom and I liked watching this one again, I then stubbled on a Mount of Monte Cristo, 

The Count of Monte Cristo (TV Mini Series 2024), and watched one episode which I really enjoyed watching again, I might even buy the series so that Diana and myself can watch them together, I rounded off my evening with,

Titanic: Dead Reckoning, it appears for years much of the blame was put on the wrong captain, a very enjoyable if somewhat sad to watch documentary showing how blinded both the original US and UK enquires were and rushed to a totally wrong conclusion, after which Diana arrived home from work, so a Mrs. Brown's Boys it was before we were off to bed.

The Day Had A Good Start,

one of the foxes,

brought her cub with her, much to the annoyance of the crows, who made a dreadful racket, 

the youngster was very shy,

the slightest noise and he made a run for the hedge, 

waited for some time but seeing the parent unfazed, came back to enjoy the peanuts, at lunch time I dropped Diana off at work, during the day I played with some Avery labels that I will use if I actually sell any prints of my photographs, which brought me up to my evening,

sherry and read, 

followed by a crab stick salad, after which a WWII I had not seen before, 

Sailor of the King, not actually based on a true story, but entertaining neither the less, unusual as the film had 2 alternate endings, after a Canal Boat Diaries, 

a film I had watched and enjoyed before, The Man Who Knew Infinity, a biopic about Srinivasa Ramanujan and his massive contribution to mathematics and science, nicely told and as near to the events that happened as far as I can tell, to give you some idea of his work, a diary of his was found that he wrote in the last year of his life, 100 years later modern day astronomers are using the mathematical formula found in it to understand more about black holes, what an amazing man and film, after which Diana arrived home, so feet up for a coffee and a chat as we watched a New Tricks, before we were off to bed.
