[Reynard]

General puttering about done. Sourdough bread left to get on with its bulk ferment.

Breezy and overcast here, although it was sunny earlier. It's not quite as cold and miserable as it has been, but I did appreciate the extra blanket on the bed last night.

Will have lunch shortly, then I will do a load of laundry.

Today's theme in the photography challenge is "Something Borrowed"

Spot the ex library books! "Countdown to a Grand Prix" was the first "proper" book on motor racing that I read after borrowing it from my then local library back in 1984. When the library withdrew all their motor racing books, I snapped them all up!

I have made a rhubarb crumble, what did l do wrong ?

You used rhubarb.

The chestnut trees are luminous against a sky the colour of wet slate and there isn't a breath of wind to stir their leaves.
Will the storm break or do l have to suffer a migraine and moody restless dogs all afternoon ?😵

 

[woodbutcher]

You used rhubarb.

But how to make said crumble sans Rheum ?

 

[Tenacious Sloth]

’Two Hundred Popular Flies” has got to be the best book title ever?

As regular Radio4 listener, I'm thoroughly enjoying not having to hear The Archers theme in the afternoon. I hope this is the new normal.

well Sods Law kicked in... The Archers was on this afternoon (boooo)

Mr and Mrs P have just returned from a walk along the Meanwood Valley Trail.Which included supporting the local cafe in the park.Two lattes were purchased.Well we have to support them.Also Postman broke in to his wallet,and bought two 99 I've creams.They were massive. I will call there again.That was the ice cream can outside the park.

That was the ice cream can outside the park.

You get your ice cream out of a can

 

[Reynard]

But how to make said crumble sans Rheum ?

Simples. Use some other fruit that's far more tasty.

Besides, rhubarb is technically a vegetable.

I reckon Postie has fallen foul of predictive text...

 

[Reynard]

Laundry is in the machine.

Both black bag and blue wheelie bin contents have been collected.

I have also re-filled the tea caddy with loose leaf tea.

Agreed, technically a veg. but legally a "fruit" or at least so declared by some court in the USA. Just shows you how dumb the Yanks can be
Anyhow l have solved the issue by removing the crumble bit and chucking out the veg/fruit and substituting ice-cream.

Well, actually, some things we class as vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, assorted squashes) are actually fruit. Some things we class as fruit are actually seeds (strawberries), and peanuts are not nuts and are actually related to peas and beans.... There's a big difference between actuality and convention.

Anyhow l have solved the issue by removing the crumble bit and chucking out the veg/fruit and substituting ice-cream.

Good choice.
