They're a lot smarter than they look. Trust me, I know: I'm Australian. The cubes are their first step to building multiplexes across the world. Let me be the first human on Earth to welcome Our Wombat Overlords...

Morning. The weather is looking a lot brighter than it was yesterday. I haven't a clue what the weather peeps think.

Exited the house this AM into a vicious and cold headwind. As most of the commute is also uphill this did not help my mood.

I was quite fascinated by an advert which claims that a certain machine can revitalise your lower legs! I have found my normal pair but can't find my lower ones!

At last. The mystery of where Oxo cubes come from is solved.

I've just come back from a 7 mile test ride. On my way out I saw a pair of Partridges in a field, I was also overtaken by 3 cyclists all wearing lycra. I shouted out after them " Wait for me?" And got a laugh! 
I continued my ride as they disappeared off into the distance. A problem with the chain jumping the top 3 gears interrupted my enjoyment of the ride a bit as I tried to figure out the cause. The return journey back was a bit more pleasant as it is all downhill. I freewheeled along watching a Kestrel slightly ahead me that was hunting at the edge of the field next to the road. I passed by slowly as the Kestrel went into a hover, it was too busy hunting to notice me. Head down I had to pedal hard against a strong wind that wanted to blow me back up hill.
When I got back I found out that part of the rear mech was seized and wasn't allowing the chain to be tensioned properly. I'll have to test it again later.

A kitchen day today.
Three of the four free range chicken breasts I bought yesterday are poaching gently in the crock pot. The fourth breast will find its way into the cats.
Vegetables prepped for steaming later: carrots, beansprouts, baby corn and green beans. Then for supper, all I need to do is put rice in the rice cooker and make some chinese curry sauce.
Veggies also prepped for minestrone soup: tomatoes, haricot beans, celery, carrots, savoy cabbage. Those will find their way into the crock pot later, along with a smoked bacon rib and some stock.
It's also a baking day here today, so I have a pain de campagne on the go.

Lebbloodywhat? A thousand years of war for our freedoms, and millions of soldiers giving their lives so that we could make traditional British mince pies with traditional British pastry, and you willfully bin all that to make your pies with German........deliciousness. Honest to goodness. I've rung the Tower. They're clearing a room.
