I made meatballs with beef mince, ricotta and thyme from the garden. A bit bland. With a mixed salad. Had horseradish sauce on mine, wife had yoghurt.

Didn't see this yesterday but yours sounds good. Yesterday I pre prepped a Salade Nicoise as we weren't getting in until 9.30, Marlborough Sauvignon. Today I'm marinating chicken breast slices in garlic, lemon and rosemary, will fry that and have with griddled courgettes and home grown aubergine.

My youngest daughter was frightened of Peter Rabbit when she was young. When Mr MacGreggor appeared she'd hide behind the sofa in case he got Peter.

As ever I'm late to the party with this. Your dinner sounds great but would be too much for an old geezer's failing appetite. We had an old fashioned (v. ripe) melon and Parma ham starter. Followed by an egg mayonnaise and lettuce sandwich (no cress available but lots of chives). Cahors Malbec

The plot thickens. It seems you are right, both that the Beeb now uses Met data, and that there is a discrepancy between its forecast and the Met's.

Ah, my bad. They used Meteo (originally Dutch but taken over by a US company) for 8 years but looks like they are back with the Met.

The Beeb haven't used Met data for ages. I think it's a Dutch company they use

We've just had a melon and Parma ham starter. followed by: guess what? An egg and cress sandwich! I told my wife about your egg and cress sandwiches and she demanded I make some for supper.

A bit heavy on the garlic. Used 2 cloves (crushed in a pestle and mortar with sea salt) but 1 would have been enough.

Replying a bit late. What I actually had yesterday evening: a cold cucumber, mint, garlic and yoghurt soup with crusty bread. Cucumber and mint from the garden. Then grilled red peppers with goat's cheese. Wine: Syrah (I don't normally buy but my wife got it.)

The first flat I owned in London overlooked Stoke Newington Common which was then the terminus for the 73, so I'd have to give it a shout. It used to go to Hammersmith (now just Oxford Circus). My son's first non-parental word was "buh" which meant bus as he could see lots out of our front window.
