Last night's dinner:

No photograph again, but it was Baxter's Oxtail Soup and bread.

Currently reading:

Ken Dodd is quoted on p 167 in a footnote when Barry Cryer is talking about Vera Lynn's appearance on the Morecambe & Wise Show; and of course, the War connection is referred to.

The footnote:

"Ken Dodd said he knew the Falklands War was about to start because he walked past Vera Lynn's house and heard her gargling."

Enjoyed this film at the cinema today - despite the fact that it's almost 3 hours long.
