One of my purchases at the supermarket was a small round of Camembert cheese. It’s expensive, R$12, so I am normally prudent when it comes to nibbles; that 3 inch round piece of heaven is normally cut into four to prolong the pleasure.
But last night, I scoffed it in one sitting. Oh the greed, the gluttony! But this one was so ripe, it had just the smallest nut in the middle and it was so creamy that I couldn’t help myself. Now today, I don’t have my ‘bert’ for this evening. I do, however, have a wedge of Brie… Can I exert the self control necessary to make it last more than one sitting? If there is wine involved, it is doomed.
Oh the temptations that are placed before us…
I read the other day about politicians being on (un)Reality shows. Personally, I think this is a disgrace. People that have been elected in all good faith demeaning themselves by appearing on the most banal type of TV that exists. Any politician who stoops to this level, should be sacked on the spot.
Two days ago I had a new visitor to this blog. They visited about eight past posts. So I was curious as to what type of posts they read, and proceeded to click on the links and see.
It was fun to go back and read old posts, things that I had written and have since forgotten; a real trip down memory lane.
Today the forecast is for Hot, with a capital ‘H’. Yesterday was also hot, but today is going to be hotter. Cloro is already looking for a cool place to hide for the day, and I can see me having more than one cup of ‘cool’, I might also have some beer.
Yesterday’s plan was successful, I did nothing. I am hoping that I have a similar success today and that will make a perfect Sunday before facing Monday…
This is roughly how my week goes:
Good cheese is addictive. I like a good smelly blue. But to excess it gives me headaches. Like other things as I age I need to moderate. On the other hand the occasional lapse into gluttony is excusable. A decent red simply sets it off beautifully. I hope the Brie survives today’s onslaught.

>Andrew, smelly blues are good, I desisted because I had already bought to more expensive cheeses. The brie problem is for later, at the moment I am trying to cope with the heat.
