First, Catch Your Rabbit

Chorizo Chowder Ahoy!
     Except the recipe I've got for the slow cooker version required a 10oz tin of Cream of Chicken Soup, which we don't have in.  Popping down to Royton in the murder-mobile revealed that all the tins of Cream Of Chicken soup on the shelves are bulging with gluten.  So, step one is - make Cream Of Chicken soup.  By then, of course, it will be too late to make the chowder.  I suppose I could get it ready tonight for cooking tomorrow.  Ah - Mister Hand approves.

Persiflage
     Aha.  Obviously this is a herb introduced to Britain by the Romans, used in their cookery and now to be found growing in the wild in southerly-facing sheltered environments, best used for seasoning lamb and beef.  Typically it will have long, broad leaves, darker on the upper surfaces, and flowers in late Spring.
     What's that?  It just means "flowery language"?  And it occurs in a conversation in "Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves"?
     Well, okay, but! Reality you are dull.

Pers Ponica.  Also works in soups.

The Cat Sat
     I know, I know, I repeat myself but I need some filler material.
     This is where the cat was sitting:

It's a "Rumtopf" jar, before you ask

Until Conrad wandered in and sat down to eat a bagel, upon which the cat came and sat here:

"Can I distract him by looking out of the window?"

Pick her up and put her on the floor and seconds later she'll come sneaking back onto the table, pretending to be disinterested in whatever food is there.

Every frame true

Jade Rabbit
     In case you've been living in a cave or an underwater refuge, this is the Lunar rover that China put on the Moon*.  Here is the little chap:

It looks like a tea tray balanced on Meccano - but it's ON THE MOON!

Earlier this week, JB (as us friends are allowed to call him) took soil samples, controlled by Beijing, 250,000 miles away. A long commute.

So - Tanks?
     You betcha!  Get a load of this:

No I've never heard of this "Photoshop" thing you talk about

Well it made me laugh, and it's my blog, so there.

     As an essential antidote to the ninety-ton metal bringer-of-death above, we have some cuddly lion cubs.

Awww!  Cute.  Seconds later, they ate the photographer
