Have just finished a not insubstantial breakfast when Jane phones and invites us to lunch. And do we have any cooking apples. No, but we do have one pink lady left and we can bring it. We do, and take advantage of the sun to have sherry and starters (pastries with cheese made by the Bulgarian next door neighbour) outside. Then move in for the main event - saganaki. Sounds Japanese, but is actually Greek - shrimp in a spicy tomato sauce, usually with feta. Very nice. And baked apples for dessert, with some of the last of the mincemeat. The microwave does these much better than one might have thought. Then watch Scotland vs France in Six Nations rugby. What a brutal sport!
