When you get to A Certain Age you begin to realise there are scientific things you're unlikely to know about before you peg out, like what is dark matter, dark energy, and also less esoteric answers about certain space missions. I often what Patrick Moore (gawd bless him) thought about that.

Well it's happened again. There I was writing an email, realised I needed to research something on YouTube. In the time it took to open the window I'd forgotten what it was. That was about 30 minutes ago and I still can't remember what it was or why I need YT for it.

"the only surviving work of an unknown painter who was active in Brussels in the late 15th Century."
If the painter is unknown and this is their only surviving work, how do experts know? It sounds like a recursive puzzle.

Good news everyone, no. 1. It looks like I got some excellent jellification on the chicken stock after reducing it and then refrigerating it. It's in the freezer now ready for... maybe a steak and kidney pudding?

A big pot of chicken stock has been bubbling away on top of the cooker for the past seven or eight hours. It'll cool down overnight, have the detritus strained out of it, be reduced and frozen ready for use. I haven't thrown chicken bones away for years, Those, and the offcuts I get from vegetables

I know I've posed this question before but after having listened to it for heaven knows how manyth time I have to wonder how different might Dark Side of the Moon been if CDs were around and Pink Floyd could have made it longer?

No, of course I didn't. It was a heavy haulage truck I half inched from a Pickfords depot. Fair do's to this bloke though. If he was pissed he was showing some decent driving skills.
