No run today – a well-deserved day off for me!
Lots of fantastic food c/o Molly and Judy. Breakfast casserole for breakfast (a sort of egg, bacon, sausage and cheese flan) along with fruit and coffee cake.

Then for lunch turkey, pecan covered sweet potato pie, broccoli casserole, eggs, beans and pumpkin pie. All washed down with cinnamon sweet tea. Not something I normally like, but this was amazing!
Hell, it even looks good, and most pictures of food look terrible or else have to be terribly doctored (Burger King over here have admitted to using glue for mayo in their commercials for example,) but this is the real thing! |
We interspersed the day with some quality, and not so quality TV watching – Macy’s day parade in the morning, a predictable, but still reasonably funny, High School film called Saved! (set in an evangelical church school and suitably disingenuous, it provoked outcry here when released,) and Touching the Void.

Victoria and I watched that TTV the other week when Channel Four showed it, and the film – which tells the story of two mountaineers and they’re battle to survive when a climb goes wrong, is even better the second time around.
I still cried.... ...discreetly of course! Joe Simpson’s incredible desire to live is simply astonishing and his mental capacity and physical capacity to overcome everything that was thrown at him is the purest and simplest triumph of the human spirit. It simply takes my breath away just thinking about it. If you haven't seen it - then do! I can't recommend it highly enough. |  |
