Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time

Mince pie-off:
- Sainsbury’s TTD (foreground, decorated top)
- Co-op shortcrust (rear, flatter, shallower and plainer)
Both slightly warmed.
Plus all the professional tasting accoutrements: crème fraiche, mug of Earl Grey (in ICAEW mug) and, most importantly, a bit of weekend peace and quiet.

Business trip to Slough, UK (just west of London, not a location that makes the heart beat faster, generally).
Popped out for dinner, found a Japanese restaurant. Ordered sashimi and sake, then katsu and biru.
Balance restored.

What does it remind me of?
- mushroom cap?
- aerodynamic cycle helmet?
Or something else?

That reminds me of this excellent meal in Colmar.
Being France, it wasn’t a pie but a mustard sauce.

Got a set of de-alcoholised Noughty wines from Thomson & Scott to try.
TBH, I've had very few that are worth it, so going in with modest expectations - anyone tried these? Got other recommendations?

Lamb burgers this evening, so I’ve done a tabbouleh with mint as a side.
Matching with a youngish Left Bank Bordeaux - 2022 Medoc, Cru Bourgeois and Paris Gold.
