Got a nice run run out on my trike this morning before the hordes got out. Not sunny but reasonable for shorts and a light top layer.
Got sunny in the middle of the day but now clouded over and looking at the webcam at the ferry terminal at Craignure it appears to be raining there.
Rain has just started battering on my front windows and my door has just banged shut which means the post has deposited a parcel. Better go and check.

For my dinner I will mostly be eating pasta with tomato and mascarpone with chilli and olives with grated cheese and some salad leaves this evening.

I has a . Dinner is underway. It was originally going to be a vegetarian chilli but lost its integrity when I remembered that there was a chorizo sausage in the fridge.

I had to repair my Biro with Sellotape.

Another blow against the capitalist consumer system.

I tried to get a hacksaw blade down behind the cistern to cut through the sealer . In the end I smashed the cistern with a hammer as I couldn't get the blade down far enough . The amount of sealer used meant that I couldn't have cut through it . I went out and bought a new cistern and toilet to replace the old unit . Oh what fun !

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Just got back from work; I had to go via Lidl which almost doubled the commute to a whole kilometre; oh, the exertion.

Thank you for recommending the BBC website for recipes. I found the recipes I would like, Aloo Gobi Saag and Chicken Karaage. The latter calls for Potato starch, not potato flour, not sure what is the most easily obtainable substitution.

Does anyone have a suggestion for desert after the Aloo Gobi Saag?

If it helps I'm having the same problem with a SRAM gear set I thought was fixed but now looks like it'll take most of the afternoon because of a me forgetting to tighten one screw, which small problem has now mushroomed into several attempts, each of which failed a different way. The final was a part failing, which I'm now trying to fix with two-part glue.

On the basis of the Butterfly Effect I'm assuming that it's all your fault by creating the negative energies. Or something. It feels better than admitting it's my inexperience with this gear system...

Postscript: gear system works. Took bike out to test ride and a customer wanted to buy it before I was out of the building; now sold for 160€...
