It looks like there is a hedgehog nesting in my garden.

Clam Chowder. I have to be careful as dairy is not my friend, but the little bit I had was bloody good.

Very belatedly discovered No Offence. So far, brilliant. I will have to go and catchup on previous series.

Been given a copy of Shaun Ryder’s autobiography. I f it is remotely to the truth, it should make an interesting read.

Can you not get a ticket for the Flyer and not get off?!

Their three for two deals are great. Throw Charles Tyrwhitt in their too, though I do prefer TM Lewin. Couldn't agree more on M&S, can't remember the last work shirt I bought there. Also, their shoes are expensive for what they are.

Asiago brought back with me from Lido. Yum!

Probably better than trying to run across the car park of your local farm shop.

I fell asleep before it came on. I take it by tour comment, it isn't worth bothering with on iplayer?

Quite looking forward to BBC Question Time tonight.

The Secret Barrister. If this book is remotely accurate about the current court system, be very afraid.

Brie and Iberico Ham on crusty white bread.

Patatas Bravas is a scarcity in Tapas restaurants in Madrid, unlike Tapas restaurants in the UK.

Fair play to the Scottish, they don’t do things by half: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-44048083

The thing I find the most disconcerting is how these companies/acts are in the minority. In the main, customer service in this country is poor. I appreciate that it is a touch insincere when it is constantly delivered, but the US is streets ahead of us in this regard.

More and more people seem to be going out of their way to find offence in the innocuous.

The trickle ran dry at the end of the 1%

I know a few people like that. The kind of people who are insistent on having a high end phone.

Rant at myself; managed to crack my head closing the boot on my wife's car. That really is a special kind of stupid.

That is unusual in my experience. The inspection is done jointly.

Same problem with magpies. The noise they make is horrendous.

You raise a very good point, good olive oil is almost impossible to get in UK supermarkets.

Experimenting, of fashion, with my own pizza toppings. Started with Parma ham and rocket. Moved on to Milano Salami and now thinly sliced Chorizo. It makes you realise that less is more when it comes to pizza toppings.

BT Sport announce £1.18 billion deal for live and highlights package for European Cup. Keep an eye on your line rental.
