Jo and Janet popped round for a Lent-friendly fish-supper whilst we all watched The Martian on blu-ray DVD.
Ann went l fishy’ and prepared Crab Cakes, Mackerel Pate, Salmon poached in coconut milk and Spicy Prawns. We nattered the evening away and in the case of Jo and I, this was helped with assistance from Jo’s extensive stock of gin! Ann and Janet ‘slummed it’ with Champagne!
Left-to-right:
The cumulative effect of the alcohol meant that we didn’t get as far as Napue, but we are gradually working our way up the proof-scale – these were in their 40s, and Lakes was 43.7%.
Dessert was Fruit Tart, but I avoided it because of the Pastry – it wasn’t too difficult, as the Gin was working its magic making standing up a temporary problem!
The DVD, The Martian, starring Matt Damon, was excellent, and made a refreshing change from most American movies being all ‘cops, car chases and conspiracies’!

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
