Sticky

 I was up soon after 06:30.  There was no imperative beyond bladder pressure that forced me into action, but it was no problem. Diane got up soon after. Clearly, it was an early start for both of us.

During the morning, I spent time editing a new family video. This was a record of our anniversary break to ~Sidmouth in 2020. It took a while to get right, but I'm happy with the outcome. I then headed out for a walk. The forecast suggested rain, so I stayed fairly close to home so that I could divert back if the heavens opened. I was out for about an hour and didn't feel a single drop of rain.

The afternoon was again spent at the computer. This time, I was working on a video recounting our trip to Carlyon Bay back in 2021. It took a while to construct, but I think the finished article is fine. (As an aside, I still haven't found the stabiliser/gimbal, but I continue to look as I remember different locations where I may have stashed it).    

Di took Jasper to the vet this afternoon. The vet was very happy with him and thinks the current food/medication regimen is working.

I cooked a large joint of pork for Sunday lunch this week. Half was left, unsliced. I decided I would cut it into cubes, coat it in a fine batter, and fry it. Then I would coat it in a sticky sauce which I had prepared from honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, tomato ketchup and various spices. I would allow the sauce to reduce down and become sticky. Well, sometimes a little experimentation works out. This was absolutely magnificent, and I certainly will make it again.
