Saw an old fellow out mowing his front lawn in his shirtsleeves today. Made me feel slightly overdressed. Soon be shorts weather again

What was the lawn doing in his shirtsleeves ?

I haven’t had a tin of sardines for years, I used to like tins of sardines. I expect that if I had a tin tomorrow they’d be as disappointing as a Fray Bentos pie.

Yes, I had a very wet cake and Sydney last night. I think the baked beans I had with it improved it .

Morning. It is very foggy here! I was hoping for a sunny day to get out on my bike.

The way it looks at the moment it could be here till this afternoon!

I had a card left on my bed this morning. Am I bad that I left without waking her as I've not got her anything yet?

What's the difference, apart from the spelling

Apart from being a different genus of fish, pilchards are smaller.

Valentines

I was going to swing on a rope from the balcony with a rose in my teeth and declare my undying love.. However after attempting to complete the Risk assessment I decided to make her a cuppa instead

No. You're resisting the insidious advance of consumerism, and you're refusing to trivialise something serious. It's a damn stupid idea, Valentine's day.

Agreed, but don't think I'll tell her that tonight! Might make a trip to the supermarket for chocolates at lunch time, can always eat them myself

Blue recycling bin primed for deployment this evening. Close followers of bin news will wonder why I have put bins out twice this week; well Monday I put my parents bin out.

Sardines on toast.. Not had that for ages..

I had sardines on toast last Saturday.
Easy and quick.

Perfect sardines on toast is made by lightly toasting 2 slices of toast under the grill on one side only. Tip a tin of sardines in tomato sauce into a bowl and mash with a large dollap of extra tomato ketchup using a fork. Put half of the mixture on each piece of toast and spread it evenly right up to the edges so you don't get burnt edges. Put them back under the grill and toast to your liking. Watch them because it won't take long.

I've just come back from a ride. I climbed up out of the low cloud/ fog which has shrouded my home all morning and into bright sunshine.
I took my Falcon this time just for a change.
