Britain’s Best Home Cook is a show C has been watching. Contestant Pippa Middlehurst (middle) has been flying under the radar, advancing round after round without much trouble. Doesn’t say much and looks American – until she speaks. Host Claudia Winkleman (left) is a bit of a celebrity in England. Guess in the mother country they don’t change their name when they get into show bidness. Turns out this show was taped in 2018. Lots of English dishes: meat pies, lamb, and such.
Sunday: took a long time to get Ceil out of church, then we had to stop by Whole Foods on the way home. Got home and I fixed quesadillas for lunch, then started some laundry, then worked to jump start Ceil’s car. The jumper cables were toast so I had to go to WalMart to get home. Was 7 pm by the time I got home and got the car jumped.
Ceil fixed pancakes for supper. Then I went out and cut the grass. Yard was dry so afterwards I watered the lawn. Left the hood up on the car in case I needed to jump it off in the morning.
Monday: woke up at my usual 515 am. Heard raindrops on the roof…couldn’t believe we were having a thunderstorm. Went outside and closed the hood. Got ready for the gym and went and jumped off the car. But then we decided to take the car to the shop. The car didn’t have much power, and struggled to get up the first hill. With 4 more big hills to go, Ceil turned around. I called a tow truck.
Ceil took my car town to babysit Shivonne and Millie, so I had to work from home. It is always something. Between Ceil’s car, the tow truck, and other things we have paid out over $2,000.00 of unexpected stuff the last 24 hours. Ceil’s car wasn’t ready for pickup yesterday afternoon. Today she was the one stuck at home. I logged off from work at 530 but played on my laptop for another hour while Ceil napped. Got a lot of computer stuff done. Should have read last night but instead shopped on my phone.
Ceil fixed stir fry for supper. Watched the end of Jeopardy. Was in bed by 930.
Tuesday: up early this morning to run at the gym.

Concrete evidence the federal government is working to change the demographics of the United States. What changed in California in the 1980s is now happening in Texas and other states.
EDDIE COLLINS [SABR Bio] had a career .333 batting average (including seasons of .360, .365, and .372) but never led his league. In 1909, 1914, and 1915, the only AL batter he trailed was Ty Cobb. He finished in the AL Top Ten in 15 of the 18 seasons when he played at least 100 games, and finished in the Top Five 11 times. He was offered the Yankees’ manager’s job following the death of Miller Huggins at the end of the 1929 season, but elected to stay in Philadelphia with Connie Mack’s A's. He coached there from 1929-32. His son played baseball for Yale University, helping them win the Ivy League Championship. Eddie Collins Jr. also played three seasons for the Athletics.
