Sunshine and showers (the story for August so far). Many Olympic medals won (note that BBC commentators have - to their shame - forgotten how English works, e.g. one doesn't fail to defend a title by losing: it's just an unsuccessful defence). 27 Olympic channels on cable: little to watch on any of them. Still can't understand how professional 'sportspersons' are allowed to compete.
Nicki came for lunch. We ate:
Roast duck with Apache potatoes, fresh peas (surprisingly good this late in the season) Welsh* onions.
Chocolate pudding.
* This is chopped onions cooked covered slowly on the hob with a lot of chopped sage + salt & pepper. Takes a couple of hours but is well worth it. Works well with pork, too.
