It's lovely mixed with cream cheese. Which is then spread on wholemeal toast. Which is then overlaid with a slice of lox.

A like, for the genius of it all, up until the lox.

Update on the Smart meter . It seems to have thrown up a bit of a puzzle . Overnight it seems to have used 60 p of energy ! Trying to figure out what is using the power as by the end of the day it will be up to 80p . We have solar panels which will reduce the consumption during the day but I wonder if they are using it at night ?
We have 2 freezers and a fridge so they will account for some of the power .
Before the Smart meter we were in blissful ignorance . Now it has produced a puzzle .

Me too! I am working till 2:30 - then hoping to get out running with the dog and then I am at dinner with friends and I really hope that gets me to sleep - otherwise I will resort to herbal pills again to help....

Lavender and chamomile tea. Try it xxx

Chamomile tea bag and a two or three sprigs of lavender. Works a treat.

Smoked fish and horseradish cream are a classic combo. What's not to like?!?!?!?!?

Smoked mackerel and pickled ginger is lovely too.
