I've thought about one of those on a number of occasions, but realised I simply wouldn't use it enough.

I usually do home made oven chips / spicy wedges, or nip to the village chippy if I'm feeling lazy, but right now, trotting off to the chippy is right out and I fancy proper chips.

Anyways, off to the kitchen I go...

I use ours like a mini fan assisted oven.

Get a recumbent trike.

I'd have trouble getting up off that!

Anyways, just general bimbling around this morning doing stuff.

I am about to trot off to Tesco and see if I can't get the bits that I wanted on Friday.

Today's theme for the photography challenge is "Three"

Three cake slice thingies. Am right out of cake though...

I've done the ironing this morning, watched a film on my tablet while I did it.

Sorry have to disagree with you there about chips in beef dripping. I tried Hairy Pramsdens once and they had me continually burping afterwards with a beefy taste .

Eh, the old home made versus takeaway thing...

I got taught how to make chips by an elderly Belgian lady who was a family friend. She'd been in service as a cook in the 1930s and her chips were just the bees knees.

Anyways, time to toddle off... BBL8r...

I just wandered up to the Southbank and then let the wind blow me back home. I may go for my siesta now.

Left that ruddy flat sparkling.What a job. Anyway left Edinburgh at 19-30 last night a home Leeds 23-10 . How about that.Miles and miles of motorway without a car lorry or whatever. Now my back and hip ache and my ankle is also in a bit of trouble,why you ask ,staircases hard stone Edinburgh staircases.Up and down up and down she was the top floor it seems the building is a 140 years old.So no service lifts ha ha.Carried everything out by hand. Did i tell you i slept very well last night.Anyway in about half a hour the rental van is coming with the final household stuff,which is going in the conservatory, the one which looks lovely at the moment,,but by 11-00 it will be full of stuff ,for months i think. It is great to have daughter home.

Chapeau! to you Sir

Heh, well I *am* half Belgian.

It's not just the frieten-mayonnaise, but the chocolate, the cheeses, the charcuterie, sausages, waffles and those poncy little decorated cake things you see in the brood en banketbakkerij...

P.S. M'mother hails from Ghent but lived on the coast until she moved to the UK.

Tesco was a bust. Queue was much the same as Friday night with loads of families and definite breaks in social distancing,

Thanks but no thanks...

In that case, I need to get a batch of bread dough going.
