morning.I see Alvin Lee is no more. Two good albums but an irritating guitar playing style. i think I'll cope ok with this bereavement. Ever been upset by the death of a musician or actor or whatever? Given my tastes I'm going to see more and more dying these days. But what about your weekend nommy lunch pulled pork plans?

This weekend will fairly standard I expect: hanging out with family, watching the rugby, having the occasional beverage and cooking some decent food.
