So tired again tonight, don’t know why, I haven’t done that much.
Wishing my American friends a good Thanksgiving day if they do that kind of thing.

A new tub of tamarind concentrate today, I’ve not bought this brand before. Made the curry very dark and I’ll have to dial it back in future, must be a much higher concentration than the usual 40-45%.

In “Odds Against”, Sid Halley doesn’t smoke and drinks brandy. In the next in series “Whip hand”, he smokes and drinks Whisky.
Dick Francis (or if rumours are correct, his wife) is normally much more careful with his (her) research.

Making a mince curry today. That will be nice and warming, I’m feeling chilly today, the damp I expect.
I worked in George in the Western Cape for 6 months. Miserable bloody climate, the mountains leading up to Oudtshoorn cause the onshore wind to dump its moisture in a steady drizzle.
Foul.

Breakfast done (egg salad) and washed up. Bread on the go. AM fed and spoke sternly to, about a life of crime.
He just looked at me impassively.
Light poor this morning, so it looks like an audiobook day. Still Dick Francis. I know it’s largely rubbish, but easy on the ears.

Happy day of giving thanks to the poor bloody Indians who welcomed the religiously intolerant to your shores. If that’s what it’s still about these days.

Gets easier and easier, as you age, to complete your steps.
You are back and forth so many more times, to get or do things you have forgotten. (5th trip to kitchen for a bottle of lemon juice.)

It’s a bit nippy today, just taken the bin bag out. The back steps handrail is bloody freezing. No wonder AM looked all puffed up this am. 😸 and the critter is back in the attic, rummaging.

Broke week (is there any other?) so need to prune tomorrow’s grocery order, today.
Every snip a tiny triumph.
It’s irritating that a money saving choice I made, to order a few items from Amazon, are lost in the internal workings of the courier.

Have my eyes got dimmer, the night darker, or something gone wrong with the under-counter light in the kitchen?
Not sure if it’s possible to take apart to see why it seems about 50% less bright.

Oh god, is it the everlasting damn budget day, today?
Dreary speeches, hysterical pundits, and reams of enormous numbers.
Why did mankind inexorably move to this point? What determined all the decision-forks to lead to this dismal day?

I guess I still think it'd be fun to live in a really big city for a year or two and go to movies and galleries and museums and concerts all the time.
Lol. Yeah, I slept pretty hard this morning and am not particularly tired or uncomfortable, so I can think about the above without wincing.

For all of Claire at Evri’s promise of delivery tonight the parcel is, according to tracking, still at Avonmouth the other side of Bristol, so I don’t think I need to stay awake.
Ah well, I was lied to by their chat bot yesterday, today their “Claire”, so I guess that’s an improvement.

Roasting the square of spongy stuff that comes under the meat. Not very appealing, perhaps with a nice gravy?

Morning.
Got tired of waking up every 45 min, so just got up.
Had my coffee and Berocca, gonna go and say hello to the kitties, better than listening to Erma Franklin’ (Aretha’s sister) cover “Piece of my Heart” … still better than Faith Hill’s tragic effort.
