Well, it's been another lovely day here on Merseyside. I've watched our yearly visitors, the housemartins (nothing to do with Paul Heaton and Norman Cook) who have a mud nest on top of our alarm box. They arrive every spring and dazzle us with their aerobatic displays.
After a lovely breakfast of boiled eggs with asparagus spears wrapped in pancetta (recipe to follow) it was in to the garden for a bit more gardening and more fun and games with the girls.
We nearly had a disaster when a shuttlecock nearly took The Missus's eye out but there was no (real) harm done.
The weather took a bit of a turn mid-afternoon so we retreated indoors where the roast beef was already in the oven (recipe also to follow).
Dinner was followed by a bit of Pikimin 2 on the Wii. Pooky has just gone for her bath with The Missus so I'm taking the opportunity to do a bit of blogging while watching Sky Sports News. Congratulations to Burnley, by the way and genuine heart-felt commiserations to The Blades.
I think Owen Coyle is a great manager and should, heaven-forbid Mr Moyes gets tempted by Celtic or United, then Coyle would be a good tip for the Goodison hot-seat.
Anyway, those olives I marinaded earlier (once again, recipe on it's way) will do just fine later tonight and I there's half a chicken in the fridge which will go just nicely, thank you very much!
