It's raining hard here.

I can see it is raining in the distance. Either that or someone has moved the hills.

Lovely supper of penne pasta, with a sauce made from mushrooms, the bits of chicken picked from the carcass (there's always a surprising amount left on the bones), garlic, tarragon and sour cream.

That went down very nicely, and there's enough left for tomorrow.

That penne meal sounds lovely, Reynard, was it a tomato based sauce, or strictly with Shrooms, sour cream and the spices? 😋

We also have sunshine, finally.

Hmph.

Nothing quite so exotic here. It's just a bit less murky, that's all. And the gutter has stopped dripping.

Correction; we had sunshine. Then it went down behind the buildings opposite, and then the cloud came back...

No tomatoes. The sauce was just chopped sautéed mushrooms, three cloves of finely chopped garlic, a couple of generous pinches of dried tarragon, freshly ground black pepper, sour cream and about a cup of the pasta water.

Umm, and some grated Grana Padano cheese on top after serving.

Make sure you do, your posts are essential to this forum.

Thank you. I left all the American bicycle forums because of the acrimony, and this forum has been a Godsend. I appreciate and respect you all, even when we do not agree.

We have thunder.

You have Donder.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Yep, I was right about the smell... Two lots of sniping software in evidence - I was out of the running anyway as the bidding had already gone over my maximum.

Hey ho, another day, another auction... *shrug*

The search for a Tissot automatic at a sensible price goes on.

Keep an ear to the ground.

Or possibly Thonner.

Isn't that what James Bond uses, generally with a silencer?

I think he had a Beretta, but it jammed, and he was stabbed by a poison shoe and in hospital for some time, so they made him get the Walther PPK.

I was going for Donner Summer doing her disco thing.

Keep an ear to the ground.

I intend to.

I do have a backup lot though - somewhat older and fitted with the wrong bracelet. Should be fitted with a lobster-type bracelet however, not a fixo-flex that is too narrow for the (hidden) lugs. Mind, it would sit well on a nice leather strap...

The one I missed out on was a PR100 dating from around 2000-ish.

Wasn't that From Russia With Love?
