Sunday And We Had A Visitor,

one of the crows called by,

just as the rain started,

the choice, be hungry,

or get wet?

get wet it was then!

Diana had popped out to buy a few things,

including these roses,

for todays Sunday lunch,

we treated ourselves to three huge ribs,

we cut them into three, we are going to need a bigger baking dish! for tips on how to cook big ribs, that for many chefs, a bone-in rib of beef is the Rolls-Royce cut, have a look here,

a pre-meal sherry,

in one of the new glasses, talk abut a mix of patterns, a polka dot cravat, a check shirt and tartan waistcoat!

for our starters, some of the salmon from yesterday,

open the bubbly,

I must be getting weaker, or the corks are getting stronger!

that's the way to do it!

there was still so much meat left on the bone,

I could not resist it!

 the meat was so full of flavour,

and I still had the slices to go,

hopefully when we have eaten the other two M & S will still stock some smaller tomahawk steaks, this was just so nice,

we had a long break, and gave the birds a few more peanuts,

it happened again, every so often a pigeon flies into one of our windows, a bit difficult to see, when it hits the glass it leaves the outline of its body,

and its wing feathers, apparently the image is left by natural oils that the bird produces,

after a very long break,

Christmas pudding,

so out with the brandy,

it was still bright outside, so I could only just see the flame,

then cream, lots of it!

Diana had a hard day, what with the Malibu, bubbly and brandy! just joking! really, we both thought it would make a fun photograph,

in the afternoon a favourite film of mine, Sir Henry at Rawlinson End, there are some films that I like so much I just have to watch them over and over again, Sir Henry at Rawlinson End is one of them, this is what I wrote about it when we watched it before, 

'what can one say about Sir Henry at Rawlinson End, not so much a black and white movie, more sepia toned, so many wonderful lines', 

'If I had all the money I'd spent on drink, I'd spend it on drink,' sounds like me! 

the one great thing about Sir Henry is that he combines his interests with a passion, take the still above from the movie, he takes three of his favourite vices, boats, a Purdey shotgun and his couple of drink optics placed on the side of the boat, what could possibly go wrong?

the film is totally mad, and of course in these PC times it could never be made, the uproar over a white man playing an black man would echo for years in todays culture, I mean could you ever think of a black actress playing someone one as white as say Ann Boleyn? back to the film, Vivian Stanshall narrated and starred in the movie, as it happens I saw him live in The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, when they performed at the Goldsmiths Collage in New Cross, and here is a piece of trivia, the real Sir Henry Rawlinson, of whom Viv was unaware, died exactly 100 years to the day before Viv, the film you will love or hate, I loved it, Diana fell asleep!'

now here a strange thing she fell asleep when we watched it again this time! you can watch it above or go to the Youtube link here, 

in the evening some cheese and biscuits, 

followed by a Pirates of the Caribbean, On Stranger Tides, which we both thoroughly enjoyed, we rounded the evening off with a couple from Sherlock Holmes with a nightcap before we were off to bed.
