I bought a bright yellow Easter Egg to go on my head [when I was in Hoflords yesterday. Well that's what I called them whenever we had a new delivery of them when I worked there.
My wife said that I had better get one as she didn't want to look after a cabbage in the future!
But she loves gardening !

Is it still edible?

All three GP practices in my area get 1.5 stars out of 5 on NHS Choices. None open on a Saturday.

Just tried to ring for an appointment at mine. Fat chance. Ring back tomorrow at 8 am to be told that they don't have any during my week off before I am working away again.

They tell us to buy nuts and seeds for the birds to eat. I bought a 12kg bag the other week. I've been taking small bags of the stuff out with me on my walks. I've noticed that most of the nuts and seeds are still there the following day. Aren't the birds feeding because there's still loads of insects and things about for them? Maybe i should keep the nuts and seeds for Winter?

I have a habit of going into supermarkets about 10 to 15 minutes before they close at 10pm. Last night i overheard one of the staff in one of the supermarkets say '9.58' to his colleague and look at me as i was bagging my stuff up on the self serve counter. I presume it was aimed at me. I don't know what to do. Should i go in earlier or should i bag up at 9.59 just to piss them off? Anyway,it's nice to know i'm of interest to them. Perhaps they're running a book on me,making bets to see who gets the time right.

Just back a little while ago from a 13 mile cycle ride, most of which was on a cycle track. I'm lucky to have come back with my fillings still in place. It was along an old railway track. I think it would have been less bumpy if they had left the sleepers in.
As I knew we were going along a cycle track I went out on my Scott Yecora which has knobbly tyres. Mistake! I think it made things worse. I seem to have timed it so that each raised bit on the tyre hit the peak of each stone so that it was like falling off a cliff edge on every stone.

I'm back, folks! Normal service is resumed.

As well as doing the stuff that wanted doing, I have also bought some stuff for the bike (yeah, I've taken the plunge and gonna try clipless) and I have squared away two paintings.

And please, Mr Morpheus, can I have a night without unsettling dreams? After the best part of a week, this is getting rather... tired...

Morning . I have discovered a hoard of non matching socks. There should be an identical set somewhere else but can I find them ?

Lots of blackberries around here, given the choice.....

Towpath through Boxmoor is very bumpy. There appear to have once been small concrete pillars along it once that have worn down to a few inches about the ground.

Good luck with the clipless!
