Just made me a nice

Busy day doing laundry and prepping veggies. I now have a large pot of soup simmering away - have used the last of the duck stock and have thrown in a smoked bacon rib. Should be lovely. Will add some alphabet pasta later.

Veg sorted for tonight's stir fry as well. The last of the duck is going in that, as well as some wholegrain rice noodles.

Am still really tired, but feeling less bleurgh and less owie.

The wind is picking up here too. It's not me, I haven't eaten any baked beans lately.

By following @Reynard 's Easy, Peasy recipe (thank you 👍), have just enjoyed my first taste of homemade marmalade. Made plenty of jams before, but with pink grapefruit only 29p in Aldi at the moment, seemed like a good time to try something new. Good choice!

Yay, well chuffed.

Third post accident physio completed this morning, three more to endure...
Blimey, but the chap knows how to poke knotted muscles 💪

I'm about to put the first proofhide on my new Brooks saddle. Is there some kind of ceremony I should observe?

Will you be standing on one leg, with a knotted hankie on your head?

I am watching the snooker.

Which leg?

Actually forget it, I can't find a Hankie.

This proofhide smells different to the stuff I used to use.

Okay, I've done the bottom. It says "Apply a small amount to the top." Not much choice, the sachet was tiny.

Did you not get the memo? I'm not sure I can elucidate that information on an open forum,

Hey, I happen to enjoy watching snooker...

Okay finished. It smells like I've just put washing up liquid on the saddle.

A friend has agreed to come with me on the next 100k ride but he needs to borrow my spare bike. This means the saddle from the tourer needs to go back on the spare bike, so I need to put the brooks on the tourer.

I hope this clears up any confusion and/or unresolved tension among members.

Mmmm, but *which* washing up liquid?

They do come in loads of different smells and colours. I alternate between apple and lemon washing up liquid. Tesco's own brand - it won a blind test on Shop Well for Less, don't you know.

Are you saying I wash my Brooks saddle in inferior washing up liquid?

The Sachet is empty now so it's the German honey [Edit: Beeswax, not Honey...] based hippy type saddle polish from now on.
