I can't see this being high in the final rankings, but it's definitely one of my top five. Loved this album then and still play it now.

I've remembered to decant my blackcurrant vodka. I've forgotten in previous years and I've ended up with a sloppy vodka jelly.

This is a top fact. I am definitely going to remember this as well as buy some pumpernickel bread.

Spanish potato omelette. In a sandwich.

I used to love pasties (preferably cheese and onion, but corned beef was also good) in a buttered stottie (a round, soft, white oven bottom bread from north east England).

Both obviously carb overload.

The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech

It is 85% migrant, a segregated society with a ban on integration in principle and practice, few rights, equal opportunities, nor voice for incomers

I see that both Labour and the Tories are calling for pro-Palestinian protests to be cancelled in light of today's anniversary of the Hamas attacks. I also note that the genocidal Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians continue unabated. What can it all mean?

The UK political right, from Labour rightwards, are in a vile, bullying race to the bottom over immigration, such so that it will become another monumental act of self harm, akin to Brexit. All to appease the racist right, who cannot be appeased.

The Blackwood book has a marvellous cover. I'd have bought it for that alone. Which might explain parts of my bookshelves and why some books remain steadfastly unread.

Today's recipe is a beetroot and caramelised red onion tarte tatin. It really benefits from being served with goats cheese on the top.
