We had a little lie in this morning as we
had to get this evenings supper on the go, ‘Reina’ is back with us tomorrow
morning, for four days, ‘Chispa’ has been in & out over the weekend, after
a quick cup of tea and toast we got things on the go.
I
studded with Garlic & Rosemary the ‘ Roast Shoulder of New Zealand, South
Island, Lamb ‘ –placed it on a bed of ‘ Trivets – Vegetable Ends ‘ and roasted
it in a hot oven, I also at the same time added a few ‘Roast Potatoes’ to the
tray. I then leave it to rest and ‘ cold
‘ carve it this evening ( better for slicing!)
I then made my famous ‘
finger-licking’ Pan Gravy. The ‘ Vegetable Chef’ meanwhile was preparing ‘
Crushed Carrots & Turnips, Cabbage with Alcelgas, Green Beans & Garden
Peas’ – she also peeled the Potatoes for me to slice into three different
thickness’s- to make the ‘ Boulangere ‘ Potatoes, layered & seasoned with
sliced Onions and topped with a rich Chicken & Vegetable stock, ready to go
in the oven this evening.

The sun has broken through and the sky is
clearing, there is a light breeze, its warm & sunny and by this afternoon
it will be in the mid 20s, the rest of the week is staying the same but it
could be a little cooler on Thursday & Friday, then over the weekend it’s
picking up again and the forecast is for it getting a little hotter, watch this
space.
Over the weekend Brenda has spoken on the
phone, as they don’t have ‘ Skype’ - to her sisters, Norah & Jenny over in
England to wish them ‘ Happy Easter ’ and then this morning she rang Lyn over
in Melbourne, they are still have problems with their ‘Skype’ video connection, so she had a nice
long chat, gossip and update with what’s happening over in Australia to all Jack & Lyn’s extended family.
Last night after supper we settled down to
watch episode 4 of the excellent and very gripping “ Line of Duty ‘ on BBC 1; we
missed last week’s episode but soon discovered that the main Detective from ‘
AC-12’ was attacked, with serious injuries, the suspect Detective, played by
Thandie Newton has also framed a lady, for the murder that she committed, her
husband is also a suspect and mixed up in the cover-up, ‘ Balaclava Man ‘ is
still on the loose, are there two?! The undercover cop has had her cover blown,
the wrist injury on the corrupt cop is turning nasty.
Then in a very gripping & riveting
interview/interrogation at the AC-12 headquarters ,lasting over 21 minutes on
prime time TV, as Thandie Newton was asked all sorts of awkward question, at
the end she left the corruption investigation in ruins, as she counter-attacked
them with inside information about the workings of AC-12- how did she find out,
it turned out, at the very end, that it was a reliable PC in AC-12, why has she
gone rogue, was handing over the files to the slimy ACC, who is friend of the
corrupt cop! Two more episodes to go, watch this space!
We then caught the late film over on BBC 2 “
At Any Price “ from 2012, with Dennis Quaid & Zac Efron, as a father &
son battle each over, it’s based in the ‘Iowa’
heartland of Mid- America’s corn belt, a unexpected crisis brings them
together.
