Beautiful Daughter wanted "A new story", so I told her a shortened version of this battle with a SRAM Gear system at work, with "Ptwang" sound effects every time the spring in the gear system unwound.

She got the giggles for ten minutes straight.

Half an hour later she's still awake, occasionally saying "Ptwang!" and giggling into her pillow.

If only I could wind up the gear system as easily...

Tinybug was going out with a friend today, as she went down the stairs. I said "Tinybug?"
"Yes Papa?"
"Ptwang..."

"Giggle..."

It's better than eating them

Never tried it myself but I seem to remember during wartime that some did eat them. Rook Pie seems to ring a memory bell.

Went up to visit my wildlife pal. The bottom section of his road is getting much worse with potholes but that bit is owned by Forestry who are procrastinating and another house owner on that section is on the verge of taking legal action.
I would not take my trike up tho' I did often cycle on two wheels. Once it gets fixed it is a handy two miles away to cycle.

Somebody of FB seriously thinks all ferries are cancelled on the big funeral day. What planet do these people live on?
Better not be as I am booked to return with a load of frozen food for the freezer.

F1 listened to, St Leger watched, and a drunk.

Will go and pick tomatoes in a bit, and then water all the planters.

Back in my apartment, had a cup of tea and I'm now cooking pasta for the week.

Not really a cartoon so putting it here. I am near the end but two wheels in front. Did the tandem bit but after we were married.

I'm between retirement and eccentric old age. Not needed a trike yet though.

Now I need a
lovely solo ride out to Honeystreet this morning. Very busy cafe, lovely sausage roll and coffee. I still didn’t make it up my nemesis hill but I did manage all the long rolling hills on the way back. Was happily singing my heart out on what I thought was an empty road only to spot a group of horses and walkers waiting at the entrance of a bridle way

10 - 12 minutes is recommended.. It'd be a bit squishy and not atall Al Dente after a week!

I have just picked about four and a half kilos of tomatoes.

Ours are still green

Rear lawn mowed not sure how many more times it will get done in 2022

I've just picked a large handful of basil leaves. The smell fabby.

Oh... really?

Hang on, I'll be right back...

Bummer But I can give you a couple of good recipes for green tomato chutney...

I bought nine established plants in late May, six from a little local garden center, and the others on the market. I've already picked around 12 kilos of tomatoes, and there's probably double that still left on them.

Mealtimes have become very tomato-y.

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