Whilst Storm Darragh passed, Teresa very kindly and insistently decreed that I shouldn’t work! And so I didn’t, neither yesterday nor today.
That in itself is nice. But, even better, we’ve enjoyed some home time, just the two of us. Playing cards, Scrabble, watching Columbo, and just generally being quietly and cosily domestic.
‘Tis pity I did’nae get a pic of the fab’ roast Teresa cooked for Sunday dinner. But I did get a snap of the tomato and chickpea noodle soup I made for lunch.
Anthony Andrews, pictured above, was in one of the episodes of Columbo we watched. From seeing him it wasn’t far to leap to remembering Aloysius, Sebastian Flyte’s Teddy. Which in turn was based on Betjeman’s Teddy, Archibald Ormsby-Gore.
I love this sort of old-fashioned sentimentality. Which reminds me… we must watch Brideshead Revisited. It’s very highly regarded, I believe. We shall have to see what we make of it.
