I have batter for crêpes mixed and sitting, awaiting the coming Lenten violation, I got around to Shrove Tuesday a little late but I am certainly not missing out on it. St Piran will have to wait, the Cornish pasty will be a few days hence and will contain pieces of steak. There is a special place in the beyond reserved for the degenerates who use ground beef instead.

My domestic disarray is partly due to other distractions. Among other things, I am still getting my 2021 taxes together, not a trivial task. On various fronts, I am also preparing for my return to the Philippines later this month, now they finally reopened tourism. This time, I am to be flown by All Nippon Airways via Tokyo-Narita, perhaps a contrast to my route from Scotland on Emirates via Dubai. Among other things, I plan to again visit Bonifacio Global City and swim off the coast of Oriental Mindoro.
