Cooking dinner intermittently chuckling after Biggs post about the delivery robot.
I recall a Canadian company sent a hitchhiking robot on road trips in Canada and Europe without incident.
They sent it into the cauldron that is America and it was murdered 2 weeks into the trip while in Philadelphia.
It wouldn't have got out of Dover if it had tried hitching from Europe into blight.

Like R2D2 among the sand people, it was. I do not go near Philadelphia either.

The cheese or the place?

No wonder, tis a rare thing to have the cream of the markdown gun to yourself.
They are stingy here, 30% seems to be the maximum.

I had the ultimate stickering the other day, twice baked potatoes with cheese and bacon, 100%off

If it does we'll get it spaced properly and then welded. I'm not overly concerned although we've paid out for a paint job.

At the same time, given my LBS still hasn't built the wheels, I'm on the look-out for a Sun Hyperglide 110mm rear hub I could use.

I just used allthread and some nuts, bolts and washers when I did my Raleigh 20 many years ago.

The cheese or the place?

Parts of downtown. Like New York, Boston, Chicago, D.C. and St.Louis. You gotta know your boundaries.

The cheese is fine, although I do not care for that brand, I usually get generic. Cream cheese has little in the way of variation within the plain product. Bagels with cream cheese are what I tolerate best for breakfast.

24C here, and nearly calm. Odd for spring.

4°C, calm with snow promised here.

Anyone for a and crumpets?

Hovering around freezing here, and still blowing a hoolie.

That's what I did on my Raleigh Max MTB - though I only had to go 5mm. But I believe @DCLane has some rather whacky plans for his Kingpin that involves spreading the rear triangle close to the elastic limit.

Similar to @Reynard 's yellow stickering, I stopped off at Lidl on the way to work & foud they's already reduced their Easter chocolates. I only had a small bag with me at the time

Another productive day at work: watched the last couple of Top Gear episodes, the Sabine Schmitz tribute & the penultimate His Dark Materials episode. If managent insist on normal shifts when the port is closed...

Anyhow, I needed a rest after battling the cold wind on the commute in. At least the snow showers had passed through earlier in the day.

I get supermarket own brand too. It's less than half the price, and no real discernible difference.

Bagels with lox and a schmear for me! Oy veh!

Now that's a neat haul!

Not a sniff of an Easter chocolate left in Tesco.

There is a pack of the easter chicks (top centre) missing - they got used as recovery food when I got to work!

 

[Reynard]

All Tesco had left of the Easter stuff was a wall of Hot Cross Buns. Except they weren't on clearance.
