Visit to Dad has been completed and I stayed a bit longer than anticipated which solved the question as to whether to go out for lunch or not. Stopped off in town and picked up a cheap pasta meal from Tesco instead and had it with a mug of coffee after a bit of an extended bike ride home. It's not the same as burger, chips & a pint or two but it will have to do.
Still grey and quite chilly and the drizzle has stopped.
