Had a lovely supper of sausage casserole, jacket potato and red cabbage & apple braised in cider.
Spent the evening browsing the bling listings on the bay of e. There was a nice watch I had my eye on, but I'm going to tap out without even bidding. It's become one of those auctions where things have gotten very silly very quickly.
Anyways, I now have a nice
and a pain au chocolat.

I've learned to be patient on the 'bay and pick my auctions carefully. You quickly get a sense of which ones will turn into bunfights, and it always amuses me when someone ends up paying far too much.
Although it does depend what the auction is for. I enjoy vintage watches and vintage silver jewellery. For the former, I'll research the lot to find the ballpark price and set my budget accordingly. For the latter, I generally won't pay more than two and a half times the scrap value, which currently stands at just shy of 60p per gram. If it means losing out, then so be it, there's always another day and another auction.
Motor racing memorabilia is a different kettle of fish however, and I've been known to fight tooth and nail if the item is right.

No early alarm Koel (thanks Deptfordmarmoset!) today. Warm sunny morning and a nice ride along the western coastal road. Back for breakfast - but horror of horrors, no coffee beans! So straight back out to the local coffee roasters. The morning news with my coffee brings the cricket scores and the latest news on Brexit / NI.

I can remember Port Talbot the sky turning a red brown colour and smelling of sulphur from the steel works .
