Ides of March.

BB, Smear it on yer legs, you'll run faster trying to get away from all the wasps.

How's this for a Sunday lunch tale? We were booked to go to los suegros today for lunch, but at the last moment they had to head off South to Vilagarcia in Pontevedra. They phoned last night to inform us and said "no problem, we will drop lunch off at your place on the way".

I headed off to a race this morning, but when I returned, there was a huge pot of fabada waiting - about a gallon of the stuff - and not your wishy-washy watery variety, this was the ' mash up three kilos of beans to thicken the gravy type'. Then there were the six roased chicken drumsticks plus two potted flans for postre.

I've a good mind to phone the in-laws to complain. After all... where was the wine, liquores and coffee?

Mother's day in the UK today, I hope you have been treating Rosana well.
