the week just seems to have flown past,
so on to today, a read with a pre meal sherry,
avocado, prawns and a salad for starters,
'Cheers!',
for today roast beef,
with gravy for Diana,
without for myself,
between courses Diana noticed the fox in the garden stretched out in the sun,
a slight change of position,
one of the magpies arrived to eat some of the peanuts,
which promoted the fox to start eating some,
although he then decided to take a break,
I was surprised at how close the magpie let the fox get to him,
I would have thought that the magpie would be a meal for the fox, but apparently not,
next a lie down in the shade,
I think he expected me to throw some more peanuts near him, so he did not have to get up!
on to desserts,
a pink Magnum.
I have to say it was not one of our favorite flavours, but at least we gave it a try,
to finish the meal, a glass of port, feet up and listen to some music until the evening,
for our film tonight, Hurricane, or Mission of Honor, as it was later known, a gripping story made all the more so as it was true, in that Polish pilots helped immensely in the Battle of Britain, at first there was a reluctance to allow the Polish airman to man fighters, but at the end of the battle Commander-in-Chief of Fighter Command, Air Chief Marshal Sir
Hugh Dowding, who once was so reluctant to allow Polish pilots into battle,
summarised their contribution in probably the most telling way: 'Had it not
been for the magnificent work of the Polish squadrons and their unsurpassed
gallantry, I hesitate to say that the outcome of battle would have been the
same'. for Sir Hugh, praise indeed, for a full account of 303 Polish squadron, have a read here at the Imperial War Museum site, we rounded off the evening with the latest Have I Got News For You, then for us we were off to bed.
