I was just thinking the other day, why don't they do In the Psychiatrist's Chair? I was talking about Dennis Potter and Mary Whitehouse's comments on him when she appeared. But now:

DOG SHOOTS MAN
I've heard of shooting dogs, but...
I wish I could remember the headline that every noun could be a verb or mean something else, but it was something like:
ARMS CLAIM DOGS FIRM

This week I can look forward to:
Red potatoes
White onion
beetroot
1lb new potatoes
1/2 bunch carrots
1/2 savoy cabbage
sweetcorn
bunch rosemary
1/2 swede
romanesco
sprout top
little gem lettuce
baking potato
"Sprout tops" are curiously resistent to Google (top recipes for sprouts rather than recipes for sprout tops come up, despite quotation marks) but it seems to be treatable like spinach, not that I've cooked that often. A quick rinse, roll up and slice, stir fry in ginger, soya and sesame seeds for two minutes.
I bought a romanesco from Borough Market once and wasn't impressed, so will try again.
I may bake the beetroot, but it might be nice pickled.
I bought a pile of shallots today, for pickling, and some reduce to clear rhubarb. Yum.

... anything but water. Until after 9am because I have a blood test to take tomorrow. On Halloween. Ho bloody ho.
I don't have the veins for this. Last time it took the specialist nurse to find one. I offer the suggestion that I don't have high blood pressure. Maybe plain chocolate. Nothing that courses through the veins. I mean, if I had high blood pressure they'd prick me and I'd just deflate like a balloon, but jetting blood all over the place.
The first couple of blood tests I didn't fast. You'd imagine the doctor would mention such a salient fact. He'd done this before - I hadn't. So it goes.
Nothing but water. No coffee. No b-e-e-r.
Woe is me.
