Quiet working day today and felt a bit off in the afternoon so had to sleep it off an hour or so. Did a food shop online with Iceland, will be interesting to see how many items are unavailable (was about a third last time).

Anyone trying to use Iceland, btw, be aware that delivery slots are added throughout the day and appear to be particularly increased in availability when around one of the slot handover times. Worth filling your basket and arranging a slot by refreshing until...

Good Friday today, the day Jesus wore his Corona of many thorns and went into ICU for three days, or was it two? The all-weather finals would have been today, it was what Jesus would have wanted...

The one day of superstition I follow and I don't eat any of the meat in the house that transmogrified into carpenter flesh at midnight and changes back later at the same time, so I've made a fish pie that frankly, is immense in oh so many ways. Mrs C has cut the front grass, the dog escaped...
