Good, I hope you get them, quite quirky, different from the usual, sorry @Reynard

I actually have a rather battered set of russian politician dolls, which I mentioned upthread... Not to mention various other different ones, including cats, santa clauses and sailors. I only used this set as it was the one I could open - they're a devil to open.

Been out for a very relaxed 19 miles down the old railway track and down the prom and back, I was about 4 miles along the track and I passed an older couple who had their back to me, I slowed right down to walking speed and asked, very politely "can I get past please" this was met by a move and a scowl, I turned around after about 1 mile and headed to the prom, I met the same couple on the way back, blocking the track completely, I did the same, slow to walking and politely asked, I was met by the lady shaking her fist at me and exclaiming "bloody cyclists" I would have rung my bell, however its been somewhere in the garage for years, too late to go back for it.

I'm just back from a ride around Mayfair. Coming up through Hyde Park there's a really wide path with a cycle lane which has pedestrian priority marked. 2 guys deliberately walked in the cycle lane and when a woman complained to them for blocking the cycle lane they retorted that it was pedestrian priority. There was about 15 ft of path to their left but, no, they had to completely block the designated cyce route. Members of the spite is right brigade.

Well, there's always one; usually several, but there's always one.

See, there's usually several... clearly they were out in force today.

It is still drizzling here by the way.

And those chocolate things are very nice. Well, the dark ones are. I've yet to try the other ones.

In Flemish, Zeevruchten or sea fruit, so you can prolly count them as one of your '5 a day.'

Speaking of which, I need to feed the cats, and then I need to feed me.

I’ve been out in the garden all morning, tidying up, pulling weeds, cutting the hedges. I feckin hate gardening.

I went for a bicycle ride instead.

 

[EltonFrog]

I’d have another snooze. That waking up thing can really take it out of you.

Good advice that. I did.

I’ve been catching up on the mundane news backwards.

I'm making a large pizza, which will become lunch for tomorrow.

I also have some sliced potatoes in the fridge. I wonder if "potato pizza" would work?
