Julia went to the chip shop to get tea. I made dessert. It was fruit and nut chocolate served with a cup of tea. In other words, cooking was minimalist tonight.
watched Tenable tonight. It’s back on at a better time and as I slept through Pointless I needed some quiz input. I was awful on Wham! songs and European football. Pop music and sport aren’t my best subjects. Fortunately I redeemed myself on Dogs. I was pretty good on Kings of England (I still thing the question setters were wrong to exclude Edgar the Aetheling, as he was elected, even if he wasn’t crowned. However, on a quiz where a contestant can only name two of the first ten Kings after 1066, this is probably a step too far). My work on US states is paying off and I was able to name the ten that begin with T or N. I can do the English ones that begin with N. but completely forgot Tyne and Wear. Probably because I don’t see it a s a proper county.
Don’t ask me about Scottish, Welsh and Irish counties – I am even worse on them.
After that I sat at the computer with the intention of writing classic literature. I ended up reading blogs, playing games and thinking deep thoughts.
All this took so long that I am only just finishing the blog post for the day. I did think about ending with a joke about procrastination, but that will have to wait.
Lately I have taken to doing pencil and paper puzzles in my newspaper more than watching quizzes on the telly which I used to do a lot. I don’t know why.
It’s probably better for you – I swear TV hypnotises mw into watching all night once I start.
I could only come up with six states. 😉
And as we recently established you can’t remember eating chocolate cake, I rest my case! 🙂
Came up with a seventh after I wrote about remembering sixth. Not the fastest thinker ever. 😉
Nothing wrong with minimalist cooking. Desert here is usually fruit and tea.
Slightly healthier than my version. 🙂
I’m planning on being more spontaneous; does that help?
Certainly does. It even provides me with a word I can use when being accused of failing to plan and randomly bouncing off things. 🙂
