I won a couple of games of chess against my phone today. I'm gradually increasing the difficulty, but I'm definitely getting better. I guess anyone who plays two or three games a day is going to improve over time.

Daughter and I made Great-Grandma's Cheese and Onion Flan for the first time today. It was pretty good, but could be better seasoned next time.

I've been downloading some new music recently. I've found some absolute gems:

• Hed Kandi: Nu Disco
  
• Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip
  
• Fall Out Boy
  
• Hi-Tek
  
• Datarock
  
• 30 Seconds to Mars
  
• Noah and the Whale
  
• Scratch
  
• Taking Back Sunday
  

I had a couple of glasses of cider in the evening and didn't overdo it.
