I'm back after my ride . My friend and I did the same route as the other day so it was easy to know the distance . It was getting a bit chilly towards the end of our ride .
I went out on my Falcon Black Diamond in the end . It was a nice pleasant ride .

This evening I will be trying to join a Webinar. If I am not back by about 9pm can someone send out a search party.

It is a local Climate Change group. Although this part of west Worcestershire is decades behind the rest of the county, I still would like to find out if there is anything we can do. Yes, I know, lots that we could do. What would people like to concentrate on?

I've given up on webinar's .... i just read the Q&A sheets after the event which seem to sum up all the good and bad bits in a couple of pages instead of listening to people i don't know preach at me ... or lecture me ... or something like that. For ages.

I am multitasking.

There's a batch of marmalade going in in the kitchen (tangerine & lemon) and am working on my Tyrrell painting here in the dining room whilst eating pretzels.

Oh, and it is raining.

 

[Reynard]

Oh, and I didn't bother putting out my blue wheelie bin yesterday. Didn't put the black bag out either.

You rebel!

It's a baked custard pudding with cherries.

You are selling yourself short.... "custard pudding" sounds disturbingly like the desert we got at my boarding school on Sundays . Come clean "Reynard" what about the eggs , the vanilla pod steeped heavy cream , the sugar and the flour combined to make magic ....oh and the cherries with the pits left in (thats just me being difficult)

If I'm honest, I kind of forgot... But in my defence, there wasn't enough in either to warrant bothering.

2 tsp cornflour mixed with a splooshette of milk
30g sugar

Doesn't that measure change with neck size?

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Faire un clafoutis sounds like the kind of pained commotion you get when someone cracks a tooth on an unpitted cherry.

 

[Reynard]

Well, that was a "serves two after a light supper" sized clafoutis.

Admittedly it would have been lovely with vanilla ice cream on the side, but I don't have any.

There you are that looks much more impressive.....l still think pits in is more fun though

 

[Reynard]

Marmalade is made and in the jars. I have four large jars and a dollop.

Also time tim put the paints and pencils away for the day, as the light has pretty well much gone. Not that it's been particularly stellar today... But I now have something that looks like Monaco in the background of the painting.
