Morning all - looks to be a nice & sunny morning out there. I think I'll go for a stroll to get some milk shortly as I've just used the last of the last bottle on my porridge. There will also be a bike ride this afternoon, but I'll have to get through Ipswich before the hoards arrive for the Town's home match.

Quite surprised on our dog walk this morning. Only 50% of drivers were on their mobile phones.. Including a bus driver 😔

I've never seen a bus driver using a mobile while mobile but I have seen a driving instructor happily talking away on his phone, oblivious to the fact that his learner driver had just almost taken me out on a mini-roundabout.

When we had a shop I used to go to wholesalers in Glasgow. In one case I used to arrive before they opened and parked in their car park facing a busy commuter street and traffic lights. Phone use was evident but a surprising number of men were shaving with obviously electric razors and women were applying makeup and doing their hair. Some of both sexes seemed to be still getting dressed.

My daughter is wearing my jumper and playing my guitar. Better than I do. My work here is done. Although I am more competent at using my bicycle gears to get up hills.

I've never considered Jumper Wearing as a skill before.

Nor me, but when I wear it, it looks a bit threadbare and shabby, whereas when she wears it, it looks understated and perfect. Or maybe that's her rather than the jumper and the benefit of being in your teens.

Does anyone on here know about what will happen with trains on Monday? I can imagine that trains tomorrow will be in chaos, but will they be running a normal timetable on Monday morning?

Or is that anyone's guess?

Decided to make some pancakes tho’ they are what we used to call crumpets. What we called pancakes are called drop scones in furrin parts. I have a smallish galley kitchen which gets warmed up by the cooker so thought I could achieve two things at once for the same heat ie make pancakes and get warmed up.
Very nice they are too. SR flour, fine oatmeal, sugar, salt and a splash of oil with some raisins added after mixing with water.
Had to put on the electric light to see what I was doing. I try to avoid using the light as if the bulb goes I will probably need help to replace it since ladders and myself are not a good mix nowadays.

My wife is partial to Scots pancakes/drop scones. She once went into a bakery to ask for the latter & was told that if they drop them they wouldn't sell them.
