Manchester to Milford Haven - that is the answer to the question "What is the longest rail journey in Britain without an advertised refreshment trolley. That journey takes more than six hours.
An easier question this week - Which railway station in Yorkshire has three names? I think they exclude Heritage railways for the answers.

A sunny day here chez Casa Reynard, albeit a chilly one thanks to that nagging northwesterly breeze.
Slept well enough - six and a half hours this time. Still feeling sleep deprived, but less meh. A

Swapped nightwear for clothes at a more decent hour and cleared the chores. Also did a small load of laundry, and as the hummus was nearly finished, I made a similar dip using a can of cannellini beans, olive oil, lemon, garlic and rosemary. I just *may* have overdone it slightly on the garlic...
A lovely luncheon of toast with the last of the hummus, a banana yoghurt (an overripe banana and a little honey mashed into some greek yoghurt) and a
After, had a little me time with a book. Then I upped sticks and tootled off to Tesco.

31C here, now. To be -2C by morning, or thereabouts.
The Chicago Cubs got beaten by the Washington Nationals on opening day of baseball. Not so badly as the White Sox lost, though.
Starting to storm here now, thankfully I got the grocery shopping done and in the house before the deluge. Port wine cheeseball and some crackers going on as well.

They don't "chip" bones very well, with the larger ones from the legs prone to blocking them. Causing them to jam/stop.

Oh yes, green garden & kitchen waste wheelie bin was emptied this morning. Not a lot in it, but with Easter messing up the collection schedule I figured I'd better put it out.
And we don't pay for green bins here in East Cambs. Well, you *do* pay if you require a second bin.

The evening's hot chocolate has been had.
This month's energy bill went online earlier on today and there's quite a healthy credit balance in there. As we're now in the part of the year when my solar panels & battery provide virtually all of my electricity and the excess exported covers the standing charge for both electricity & gas, I've submitted a refund request for just over half the balance (once April's payment is taken into account). Once the money comes through, the first thing I'm doing is treating myself to a freezer drawer's worth of quality sausages & bacon from the Suffolk Food Hall.

Didn't realise the season had started. Baseball's a guilty pleasure of mine - put the game on and just let the commentators waffle on in the background. Don't think I could watch a whole game live at a stadium though.
Bradford Forster Square ?
Here in Mullingar for a wee cycling trip and a break from the nonsense at work.
I had hoped to find some live music, but something called football is happening. Seems to involve grown men shouting at the television. A strange affair. Cycling is much more interesting.
