I must take note that playing 3-a-side football is completely shattering! After running around, yesterday evening, for what seemed like forever, I got home in rather a useless state. Fortunately, the DVD player was willing to assist and I spent the rest of the evening watching The Madness of King George (III).
Having a passing interest in history, I thought this film was superb. Set soon after the birth of the United States, the film follows King George III as he takes a rather peculiar turn for the worse! The film highlights the distress caused by his illness, to both him and his family, as well as his government and his country. It also shows the future George IV in his attempts to take advantage of the situation, battling politically with William Pitt, in order to become Prince Regent. All this happens amongst a backdrop of superb architecture, countryside and the very regal music of Handel. A great film which is well worth watching.
Today is Shrove Tuesday, so I’ve scoured the internet for a decent pancake recipe, finding this one at Sainsbury’s.

125g plain flour
pinch of salt
1 medium egg
300ml milk
oil

I’m just waiting for my batter mixture to rest a little now, then I’ll be seeing if I can flip my pancakes onto the ceiling. 😀
