Our washing was on the line at half seven this morning, I got it out before getting my bike out and getting some miles in.

I waited until I got out of bed before washing the bedding, in much the same way as I wait until I'm out of bed to have my first wee off the day......

Good luck @Andy in Germany
Hi, thanks for the comments.
No I didn't go AWOL, I just don't have any access to the internet at work.
Just got back: they seem to like me and I generally found it okay. I felt more relaxed and confident that I usually do in a first day, even to the point of partially dismantling the sanding machine so I could sand an awkward bit of a client's project.
Tomorrow morning I have to do a mini project with the clients, making a key fob from a piece of green wood, and then in the afternoon I have my assessment, then on Thursday I tell them if I want to work there and they rather more importantly tell me if I can.
Commute home might be a bit of a faff, 200m climbing in about 3 km (ca. 650 feet in about 1.8 miles) which I think could get boring fast, hence my sudden interest in folding bikes...
In other news I was glad to note the Nausea I've had the last few days was just nerves and evaporated as soon as I started work. I've got a thumping headache now though...

I've felt the warmth of the sun on my back as I pedalled round the local lanes.

Bedding was changed yesterday afternoon and washed overnight ready to go out this morning.

Car passed its MOT 
Just a couple of advisories which I'll get sorted when I'm less pressed for time.

Nope - they're very distinctly different. Faschingskrapfen are a bit like the Dutch Oliebollen.
Besides, Paczki is plural. Paczek is the singular.

Mine goes next week, booked in on the Thursday for MOT and service, I'll chuck the bike in the back, drop the car off at the garage then go for a bike ride and pick the car up on the way back.

Glad it went well and that you enjoyed it. I hope tomorrow goes just as well, and from the sound of it, you'll have another great day! 👍😀

The "Swedish Meatballs" principle strikes again.
Besides, Paczki is plural. Paczek is the singular.
Arguably the better word to learn then...

Just found another use for a Bakfiets: Cutting fallen* branches into pieces short enough to go on a normal bicycle luggage rack.

Yep
Although I prefer Berliner bollen - which are filled with creme patissiere and then dusted with icing sugar.
