Sunday Has Raced Around Again,

so time for a read and a sherry before lunch,


my summer cold is still as bad as ever, coughing, sneezing and a runny nose, hopefully tomorrow things will have improved,

Diana made a delicious avocado prawn salad to start,

'Cheers!',

on to our main course,

half a leg of lamb, with all of the trimmings, sans gravy for myself,

we finished with a sticky toffee pudding, with cream, lots of cream, eyes down and tuck in!

 after our meal one from Columbo, followed by For Your Eyes Only, a Bond, what better for a Sunday afternoon?

we followed that with The Dambusters, a good old patriotic war film, in case you are not aware of it, the film is based on a true story, the film is a fitting tribute to the raid, and the massive losses of 617 squadron, of the 19 aircraft to go out, only 11 came back, 77 crew lost in the raid, and I can not fail to mention the Carling Black Label parody commercial of the film,

I seem to remember some UK television companies and cinema chains banning it, well I guess they did not want to upset the neighbours,

we rounded off the evening with Hang 'Em High which saw Jed Cooper and, incorrectly believing him guilty of cattle rustling and murder, a gang hang him and leave him for dead, bad mistake! a pre spaghetti western for Clint Eastwood, after which we were off to bed.
