Fabulous afternoon at the over 30s disco at Home nightclub yesterday. 3pm til 8. A not very good kebab (now there’s a surprise) afterwards and quick taxi home (gosh – I guess it was early and there was therefore availability). It reminded me of the nights out at the Cave disco in Douglas. 70s. Music was the same, the dancing around the handbags was the same. A good crowd of us went and we were there early enough to bag a booth around the back of the dance floor. The only negative was the blast of freezing cold AC right next to the table that made me wish I’d brought me cardigan. I hadn’t of course as that would not have been cool and I don’t have a cardigan anyway. I wore my tropical trefbash shirt for only the third time. Needed ironing but hey, nobody noticed or cared on the basement dancefloor of Home. I can’t remember the last time we went clubbing.
Early to bed and so early up today to make the tea. As of last night we have two offspring in the house but doubt they will surface for some time. I may be wrong. This morning I am preparing, by request, what has been termed as a Normandy pork casserole. We already had most of the ingredients in the cupboard but I needed to source a bit more pork and some creme fraiche which I did yesterday before heading out clubbing. The pork came from Fosters but the creme fraiche was from a local market by the name of Waitrose.
Having ascertained from a helpful member of staff the whereabouts of said dairy product I stood in front of the refrigeration unit pondering my options. The recipe specifically said “don’t buy the half fat version Tref” if my memory serves me right but the right product didn’t immediately jump off the shelf, shake me by the collar and shout “I am the one for you”.
Moreover, as is always the case, there appeared to be multiple options to choose from at varying price points. I struck up a conversation with the woman standing next to me asking if she knew much about creme fraiche. She told me that the half fat options were the ones to avoid as they had extra sugar in them. We were as one on this topic. She also told me she used to be a practice nurse so clearly knew what she was talking about. I chose the smallest tub of Waitrose Number 1 full fat creme fraiche and continued with my shopping.
No overnight fox news but as we know, Reynard is not just a night time wanderer and I will check the lake cam during the course of the day. You will be the first to find out if there is anything to report. Stand by…
