If you see a penny

Yesterday I told you about a splendid morning spent with my friend D. I also showed you what he looks like. D is from Leicestershire and so supports the (now) mighty Leicester City.

For most of the time I've known him, this has been the butt of many jokes on my part, which D takes with the resigned way that supporters of such provincial teams have learnt to. However, just at the moment, D is walking in a more jaunty manner, with his hat on the side of his head, and a smile adorning his visage. And why not. They are playing some fantastic football.

He told me that his uncle is a regular at Leicester home games but has to wear a disguise as he bears an uncanny resemblance to the Foxes current manager, Claudio Ranieri (see the link below).

He is Italian as well, which must make it more realistic.

Ranieri looky-likey

Chorlton Sourdough

While wandering about south Manchester, Gel and I went into the Barbakan deli in Chorlton where they sell this:

The Chorlton Sourdough. What a mighty piece of bakery. Nom nom nom.

When I was at the pay-station for the car park today, I was able to use by old saying (see previous blog) but had to amend it - "If you see £5, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck"

Yesterday I made a Bouef Bourgignon (see below), and today I made Potato-au-gratin to go with our steak.

No picture available of the gratin as it is still in the oven. Smells ok though.
