Day 677


Aka Saturday 8th December 2018

Today I made my first (after a couple of dodgy prior attempts) proper omelette, with ham and cheese. I don’t like eggs, unless they’re in a cake, but I was looking after my nephew and he wanted an omelette for breakfast, so we watched a video (from the BBC’s 'Good Food' website), cooked it up and he ate and liked it. So, job done!


…I then made a mini-Lego Star Destroyer (and the mini Imperial Pilot that also came with the Lego Star Wars magazine):























…read a bit more of ‘Broadsword Calling Danny Boy’ and I did the G2 Crossword:


…which ended the week on a pretty high note (but not the highest), as I only had to cheat on one twelfth of the clues (two out of 23), must be due to no interview worries. I should have gotten ‘hybrid’ from ‘cross’, but I got stuck thinking about ‘cross’ as in angry or moving something, not cross breeding or pollinating. And I learnt more about the philosopher's stone. I always thought it was a literal stone that transmuted substances, but it’s a “legendary alchemical substance capable of turning base metals such as mercury into gold or silver…It is also called the elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and for achieving immortality”.
