I got up in time to watch the final seconds of Fulham beating Leeds 2 to 1.

Then I watched Leicester beat Wolverhampton 2 to 1.

Finally, Liverpool beat Nottingham Forest 3 to 2.

Crystal Palace tied Everton 0 to 0.

This week’s results lifted Leicester out of the relegation zone and within 1 point of Leeds, which Leicester plays on Tuesday.

After the Leicester match I toasted four slices of Kaufman’s bagels, two rye and two sesame seed for Suzette.  I spread cream cheese and garnished with slices of red onion and Gravad lax on mine and slices of tomato on Suzette’s plus capers on both.

After breakfast Suzette loaded the five or six boxes of empty wine and liquor bottles and we drove to the Solid Waste recycling center and dumped them into the huge dumpster.

We then drove to Home Depot and bought some herbs and floral plants plus five blueberry and five raspberry bushes to plant in the back yard.

We then drove to Albuquerque Water Gardens and bought five more goldfish and 15 mosquito eating fish for the pond and several more plants.

We drove home and after Suzette put the fish into the pond and unloaded the plants, we ate pita pocket sandwiches again and then rested from 2:30 to 4:30.

We got dressed and at 5:15 drove to UNM to attend the symphony at 6:00.  We were early and the Art Museum was open so we saw the female artists show, which was lovely.  There was even a Janne Quick to See painting that looked like it was painted when she was an art student at UNM.

The Mozart Violin Concerto No. 5 played byJennifer Frautschi on a Stradivarius violin was wonderful, but we thought Gustav Marker’s Symphony No. 1 “The Titan” was uneven, at times too exuberant and at other during the quieter times too dissonant.

After the symphony we drove home, but instead of cooking we simply at cheese and charcuterie on toasted slices of Bosque Bakery baguette.

 Loved and ate the rest of the Leyden.  Suzette loved the special cheddar we bought and we both liked the new wheel of brie from Isgny, France.

We watched Father Brown, Colorado Avalanche win a playoff game, and then an episode of “Astrid”.

Then Suzette went to bed, but I tried to stay up to watch the Albuquerque United play Colorado Springs Stingers .  The United was terrible and lost the match.

It is sad that Albuquerque has no good professional team.

Bon Appetit
