One more day and then the chef is back from leave, hurrah

You must be driving him hard if his going to work is considered a holiday....

I'm not far behind you, my next ride should see me over 4000 miles. After a slow start to the year I'm close to a normal years mileage now.

I'm not sure if my car's done that many.

Well done, especially after what you have been through.

Just managed to retrieve the contents of my washbag that had fallen down the back of the washing machine where I am staying. Five mins work with a broom and a coat hanger to knock them to one side. Hashtag very pleased with myself. (where is the hash key on a Macbook?!)

Down the back of the Macbook?

I was watching Autumn Watch. It is a shame that it has ended, I wish it was on for a few more days.

Honey & mustard glazed gammon tonight, with buttered jacket potatoes and a medley of veg. Stuffed. Again. Soooooo goooooood.

Chapeau to the Hairy Bikers for the gammon recipe.

And the only things that weren't either on YS or free were the cloves and honey.

I had a brief insight into what it must be like to live in Reynard's world earlier tonight.

Made a rare evening visit to the supermarket and saw two blokes physically fighting over some yellow sticker tat

I tend to avoid the fisticuffs, though I have had things ripped out of my hands.

I do have an advantage though - I am short, and therefore can get in *under* all the flying elbows.

I've been wondering why people stare intently at the display on a fuel pump when they fill up their cars. Are they expecting something surprising to happen?

 

[Reynard]

Depends... If I'm tanking up, then no, I just wait until the thing clicks. If I'm only chucking £20 in say, then yes, I do keep an eye on it.

I try to fill an even number of litres exactly which does require staring intently at the display!

Hmm. I suppose there are quite a few games one could play with the litres and cash numbers. Trying to stop the pump when both are on odd or even numbers etc. I'll give it a go.

 

[potsy]

I used to fill up to a predetermined amount, £10 £20 £30 and would never go even a penny over.

These days I just wait until the click (and round it up to an even number if needed)

I'm not mad am I?
