Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister

Today, my lunch involves sandwiches containing leftover ham[*] from the weekend's roast.

At the glazing stage, I realised that we had run out of maple syrup. And honey. And mustard. And pretty much anything else any sensible person would use as a glaze.

In the end I used bucksfizz marmalade and some generic creole seasoning. It's come out surprisingly well :)

[*] I went to buy a gammon joint, got excited because there were actually bacon joints available and bought one of them instead, cooked it and now it's ham. Pigs are confusing.

Do you believe in the West World?

In the first few weeks or so or last year, ChrisC and I realised that we already had been to (a) the cinema, (b) the theatre, (c) a gig and (d) a sporting event[*]. Which seemed pretty successful for so early in January, and we made a vague resolution to go to the theatre once a month[**] during 2014.

We didn't quite manage that, but it was a creditable attempt:

( January: Strangers on a Train, Gielgud Theatre )

( February: Shadowlands, Questors )

( (March: Let the Right One In, Apollo Theatre) )

( April: The Balcony, Questors )

( May: The Drowned Man, a disused building near Paddington )

( June: Squirrels/The After Dinner Joke, Orange Tree Theatre )

( October: NSFW, Questors )

( November: Futures/I Am The Walrus, Questors )

( December: The Mousetrap, St Martin's Theatre )

[*] Snooker, obviously.
[**] By contrast, I made it to the cinema a whole one other time during the year. Or three times in total if I count the work jolly to Secret Cinema.
