Sounds good to me. In fact, it sounds *very* good!
As a loner, I have contented myself with smoked salmon and cream pâté with buttered toast, washed down with First Cape Sauvignon Blanc.
This was followed by fillet steak medallions on golden veg' rice with a self-devised tarragon, garlic and butter sauce with sliced mushrooms mixed in, and that wonderful Kumala Zenith red as wash-down. The South Africans seem to be producing some really good stuff these days, I notice…
This is shortly to be rounded off with some Wensleydale cheese with cranberries, crackers, and a nice Ruby Port. In fact, I think I'm just about ready for that now(!)
Oh, and the music here has been largely Trans-Siberian Orchestra (along with the Sarajevo Children's Choir for a couple of items) — all showcased on my own 'blog — and a delightful version of "Abba Father" as a special for today.
I shall have to wait for the "Who" special, as my TV licence for my new home still hasn't arrived…
