The Hour

I’m really excited about this – The Hour returns to ABC1 on January 13 next year.  Get a glass of Scotch and a packet of Benson and Hedges and enjoy.

Our Town - Iris DeMent

I keep hearing this song - on the radio, not in my head - well, now it's in my head.  And I remembered how much I use to love this show.

Meal Plan Monday

No Jamie Oliver this week I'm afraid. Too hot for indoors cooking so the Weber will be taking centre stage. And as the Weber is only able to be used by the owner of the Weber, it's an easy week for me.

• Monday - Beef and Red Wine Sausages with Oven Wedges and Asian Noodle Salad
  Tuesday - Marinated Butterflied Chicken with Salad and Potato & Onion Gratin (it's a little bit fancy - well not really, but sounds better than Potato Bake)
• Wednesday - Lemon and Rosemary Lamb Chops with Greek Salad and Smashed Potatoes
• Thursday - Homemade Burgers and Wedges
• Friday - Leftovers
• Saturday - Takeaway
• Sunday - Maybe a roast and veges
