The anniversary of Picasso’s death was yesterday, so there’s been all kinds of stuff about him on the interwebs. This one caught my attention – it’s from Paul Haesaert’s 20-minute 1950 documentary, which you can watch here:

Remember how to peel a head of garlic in less than 10 seconds? (still haven’t tried that one – has anyone else?). Well now you can find out how to peel a hard-boiled egg without peeling it. Though I’m thinking this is only a good method if you are peeling (without peeling) an egg for yourself. You’ll see why.

It’s like the Sopranos on motorbikes!
A couple of weeks ago Twitter pal Antonio (aka @The_LazyPig) mentioned he was watching the third season of this and was loving it and so – always on the look out for a good series (preferable to films these days) – I got onto Amazon and saw they had a special offer on a season 1 & 2 pack. And today at lunchtime Peter and I finished the last episode of season one, which had a very satisfying cliff hanger.
It’s all very Shakespearean and the acting is great. I am also whisked back to my teenage years when I was 14 and used to hang out with a biker gang. I have no idea if they were up to anything illegal and didn’t actually get that involved, but as I recall they were all rather protective of me. It was also the last time I ever got on a motorbike. Next up: Game of Thrones (the Sopranos in Middle Earth!).
