I'm still shaking

Quite boggy around glendevon but Ben Shee was framed nicely by the rainbow

Bob Dylan/ Chronicles: Volume 1 shifted between the less obvious parts of his career. Can't see a sequel happening now tbh

Same today for Liverpool v Leeds

Another for Liverpool v Leeds also

Bakewell tart

Stayed in Polbain last week. Truly stunning area. Summer isles opposite, the hills to one side and achnahaird beach a cycle away.

Custard tarts, yummier than they look.

Probably in a minority but I love marzipan so made a battenburg.

I'm not a big drinker but their Joker IPA always hits the spot. Morrisons often have one of their ranges reduced to £1.25 per bottle too.

Millionaire's Shortbread Biscuit base was slightly overdone but still good.

That was a humping. Never in doubt.

Final tonight! Shagger Brandon versus annoying dick Wang

The ice cream van cutting about Alloa playing playing the Benny Hill theme nonstop since lockdown.

Saturday night, Sunday morning by Alan Sillitoe: Worthwhile but found the main character annoying tbh. Not yet seen the film . Superbly written and accomplished for a first novel. Great depiction of late 50s working class England. Mr Alfred, M.A. by George Friel: A sensitive elderly teacher at odds with youth gang culture in early 1970s Glasgow. A cross between Clockwork Orange and Lolita. There's little hope or optimism at all in the novel;not quite L'Assommoir levels of bleakness, but I really feel the need to read some comedy now.

Green Book - Well acted, funny, endearing. I'm glad Mahershala Ali won an academy award for his performance. Exceptional.

Working my way through Take a Break:Take a puzzle (April 2020:issue 3). Love a good arrowword.

Lemon meringue pie

I am dynamite!/Sue Prideaux. Superbly written biography of Friedrich Nietzsche, not only of himself and family but of late 19th century German culture. Raced through it. An officer and a spy/Robert Harris. Retelling of the Dreyfuss affair from the view of George Picquart trying to free Dreyfuss after uncovering evidence he was innocent. Stays mostly true to the real affair. Not sure Harris can write a bad thriller tbh. Not as great as his Cicero trilogy but still gripping.

I see PureGyms are going to remain open. I went to my usual one yesterday and although I get great benefit from going (for mental health especially). I just felt a bit guilty going tbh.

The only solution .... The Covid 19/20 Season (decided by Scrabble scores) 2 up/2 down.

Add "Every game is a cup final" to the AJ interview bingo. Stirring words from the guy unable to get past the first round of any cups. Still, We've known he wasn't going to turn around the team for weeks so results are to be expected. We have a board of absolute shitebags.
