For Today,

for our afternoon tea,

 we decided on some shortbread, that we bought on our trip to Scotland at the Green Welly,

 on to our evening meal, a sherry,

 and our starter of cold cuts,

 'Cheers!',

 for our main course, sliced duck,

 which was a nice change,

 plus a few vegetables,

 before our dessert,

 we noticed the fox in the garden,

 so a handful of peanuts went his way, 

 he ate a few of them and then did a strange thing, he went to one of the flower pots,

 and buried some of the nuts in it, a supply for later perhaps?,

 on to dessert, an Eton mess,

a last glass of wine,

 then a delicious Jamaican coffee, 

another 'Cheers!', we listened to music for most of the evening, but then decided to watch a film, 

 Pan's Labyrinth, this is what I wrote the first time we watched it, 'I bought it on Blu-Ray a long time ago, just never got around to watching it, I guessed it was a kids sort of thing, boy was I wrong! OK it had mythical creatures with two or three fairies helping the young heroine along, but gory, cruel and torture thrown into the mix, it takes place during the Spanish uprising at the end of the Second World war, at an outpost, it is held by troops fighting the insurgents, it is enough to say that Mercy's face had fled, a well crafted and memorable movie, an adults fairy tale, also if you are tempted to buy it (and I am glad I did), it is in Spanish but with English subtitles,' it has lost none of it's impact the next time around, and with the end of that we were off to bed.
