I thought only squirrels and bears eat acorns?

 

[perplexed]

I get wobbly and can't concentrate. If I sit down I fall asleep which is embarassing, especially when I start snoring.

Rather more annoying I've noticed I frequently get migranes when I don't eat enough.

Yesterday my colleague slipped my my first ever can of Red Bull, just before a meeting, on the basis it was that or nudge me every three minutes.

Foul stuff, but it kept me awake.

My entire lifetime consumption of Red Bull is one can. I bought it from a petrol station about 15 years ago at about 0330 on a night shift. It kept me awake, but only because of its vile taste. Revolting stuff...

There was a forager woman on telly the other day, made her living from it. She sold the gatherings to a Michelin chef. He knocked summat up and then grated acorn over it...

Car all sorted and have a nice shiny new MOT certificate for the next year. No advisories either - not bad for a 52 plate.

Will be making grape jelly this afternoon (from my own grapes) and a big pot of stock for soup, as I picked up a bacon knuckle on YS in Tesco on Tuesday. Will add carrot, celery, onion, a bouquet garni. Then I can use the meat for sandwiches, and there's curried parsnip soup on the horizon.

Might go for a short bimble on the bike if I've got time. Want to check up on some walnut trees.

I've just plotted my walk to the shop, then the garden centre and back.

It was 7.17 miles. I perspired because it is warmer than I thought when I set out. I sat down half way to eat a pasty.

To complete this nail-biting tale, I am pleased to inform you that I have re-potted the dragon tree into a 12 inch diameter pot, and the pot it came out of has been recycled to pot on an umberella plant.

Both are encased in white ceramic outer pots.

Mine passed as well, and the service didn't find any nasties.

I just got back home from a hospital, having had my 2-yearly gastroscopy (I have Barrett's oesophagus, unfortunately). The nurses and doctors there confirm what I already knew: that my general cycling fitness, plus an entire month of cycling up climbs in the Pyrénées, has left me ridiculously fit. My blood pressure measured 119/65 and my resting heart rate is in the 40s apparently.

Thats a superb effort, well done.

It's a squash, about the size of a small bowl.

Pigs eat acorns too.

Talking of squashes, I had pumpkin soup this evening. I've no idea how Cinderella will get around now.

Or 'haycorns' if you're Winnie-The-Pooh's friend Piglet.

Cinderella will have to learn the joys of active travel.
