Not done much for Valentines - managed to grab a bottle of fizz, some flowers and chocs at Aldi, whilst my wife was in the car, as we returned from Hospital visiting the MIL - it's all been put on hold at present.

I've just come back from a ride. I climbed up out of the low cloud/ fog which has shrouded my home all morning and into bright sunshine.
I took my Falcon this time just for a change.

How did you carry your falcon?

How did you carry your falcon?

I would use a long suede leather glove, jesses and a leash

Went for a walk to the dentist, crown had not arrived, didn't think to ring me, walked back...

Counts to your steps.

I have just found a block of Parmesan cheese in the cutlery drawer. I don't know much about the bella formaggio, but I am pretty sure it is not supposed to be in cutlery drawer.

I've fitted a wireless extension doorbell.

Our days of not hearing the doorbell may be over.

I had sardines on toast last Saturday.
Easy and quick.

Perfect sardines on toast is made by lightly toasting 2 slices of toast under the grill on one side only. Tip a tin of sardines in tomato sauce into a bowl and mash with a large dollap of extra tomato ketchup using a fork. Put half of the mixture on each piece of toast and spread it evenly right up to the edges so you don't get burnt edges. Put them back under the grill and toast to your liking. Watch them because it won't take long.

Sounds perfect.

I've been for a job interview, which was unexpected 'co they didn't invite me until 11.30 today.

What a glorious day, always nice when it coincides with your day off

First ride of the year in shorts and short sleeves, it felt nice to feel the sun on the knobbly knees for the first time in months. Apologies to anyone that was dazzled by the whiteness. I still saw loads of cyclists in long sleeves, full length bibs and full fingered gloves, what is up with people it's tropical.......for February.

I like sardines in olive oil, absolutely hate them in tomato sauce.

In other news, it's black bin tomorrow.

I was out about a quarter to nine this morning, it was still quite chilly then with thick fog patches, which is why I was in longs, jacket, overshoes and gloves, when I came out the cafe it had warmed up and I was very overdressed.

@dave r yeah it was chilly first thing, same as in the evenings as soon as the sun goes down. I didn't set until about midday so it was fine then. I saw plenty of wardrobe malfunction hot red faces, they must have set out earlier too. My day off today so early was off the menu.

I keep getting the blue screen of death on my desktop PC. I really hate Windows. I’m uninstalling the latest (and incessant) Windows update to see if that’s the problem.

Its getting to the time of year where judging the wardrobe gets entertaining, and these days we don't have saddle bags the size of a suitcase like we used to do and where to put it when its taken off becomes an issue.

Best of luck LGC. I resisted that update for as long as humanly possible, because updates are universally bad news. Unfortunately, I had a power failure which involved restarting my computer, and this allowed the damn thing in. Two things already have stopped working, and something else is far clunkier than it ever used to be. Good luck with getting rid of it.

Went out about 1030 this morning from Creagan Bridge to Appin and back. Forgot my winter gloves and only had the lightweight ones. Rain showers and freezing cold. My fingers felt like imminent frostbite. Temperature allegedly about 12C but wind from the Arctic. Back at North Connel it was dry so should have started there as the new cycle path is now done but signage not up yet. Coming south from Benderloch you are still directed onto the main road but the path is open.
