Seems like only yesterday that it was Christmas..and here we are at the first of April.The usual round of April Fool's pranks in the papers and even on the radio. We always listen to Ken Bruce in the mornings, and he was way off this morning. We sussed it was an impersonator, but not too sure which one. Turns out that it was Rob Bryden, and he made a very good job of it actually, and was very funny at times. His "Popmaster Quiz" was very well done, with him picking on the first contestant who had an ex..and the second for being a heavy drinker because he was going to a real ale festival. I don't think they were in on it, but it was very convincing. His accent was spot on.
We went to Sainsbury's in Walton this morning, I think it is The National next week, so we won't be able to get anywhere near there.I thought we didn't need much today, but still ended up spending too much. Spotted a few bargains that we couldn't resist, such as nescafe Parisienne coffee at half price.Quorn fishless fingers too which is a new line, we usually get them from Holland and Barratt and they are quite expensive.
Enjoiyed a really nice coffee in their car park as usual, quite blowy still, but very pleasant sat in the car.
Been watching all week a series on BBCOne called 32 Brinkman Street. What a gem of a series this has been. On every day from 2.15 to 3.O'Clock, and well worth wtching. Follows two families in the same house. One set in 1931, the other present day. It's a real shame that they have been tucked away in the afternoons, would have been good on a Saturday ot Sunday afternoon with maybe a wider audience. Not the first time that they have put good series on at this time, just seems a waste to me. These have been terrific, well acted, strong stories, and great plots. We recorded them and watch in the evening, can't wait to see how they finish today. Another series we really do enjoy is "Monk" which is now on ITV at about 1 O'Clock on a Saturday, he is lovely, a detective with OCD, but the stories are very quirky, and humourous.
Tonight we are having:
Cheese and onion pasty from Waitrose,
Rice pudding for a treat.
