I can tell that exams are coming. They aren't close, they won't arrive for another few months. If this was a Western and I was a train robber, I'd be crouched down with my ear to the rails listening ... listening, while my boss chewed his terbaccy and spat in the dust. I can't hear exams of course, but I can tell they are coming all the same, because my classic diversionary activities are really ramping up. I have noted:
- increased frequency of online Scrabble playing,
- heightened interest in recreational wargaming, and most ominously of all,
- marked propensity to cook elaborate meals.
Yesterday I cooked a ragout of Italian sausages in a chilli, sage and tomato sauce, that I served with buttery parmesany polenta, roasted garlic and pumpkin with rosemary, and sauteed asparagus. And today I made Burmese braised pork with chilli bamboo shoots served with a boiled salted duck egg.
Deluxe. And a whole lot better than studying.
