The beef and guinness pie (puff pastry top) was rather delish, and I ended up with 8 nutella pastries and 10 apple and cinnamon pastries.

I was wondering what happened on the 8th and 10th days of Christmas.

I keep the boxes for all sorts of things, it keeps the instructions, bits and receipt and guarantee all together.

And me, until lockdown that is. I decided to have a complete clearout of the spare room and ditched all the old boxes, instruction leaflets and guarantees. It turned out that I'd even kept a couple of boxes when the contents had long been discarded.

We were going for a walk this morning, but MrsF feeling a bit under the weather (bad cold sore). I did a bit of a garden tidy, cut back a few large bushes, and put stored some of the hanging baskets in the greenhouse. Then it was the cooking mentioned earlier.

Enjoyed a forty mile test ride on my refurbished Peugeot, rides like a dream really, amazing the difference a new headset has made. No issue to report apart from Mafac brakes which wail like a banshee. No bell required here...


EDIT: Just need to dig out a better set of pedals. Those work but look like they went down with the Lusitania.

Straighten them out in a vice, and a rub-up. You'll not be needing any others.

I quite enjoy those type of pedals. I have big feet, and they tend to slip off other types of pedals. They are also, in some cases, refurbish-able.

I like those type of pedals too but these have a lot of play in the bearings and they are the cheapo type which can't be easily dismantled to rebuild the bearings.
