The wind's worse than the rain at the moment - if it carries on like this, the cycle commute tomorrow morning will be quite "interesting" as well as hard work. Mudguards are back on the main commuter bike.

Time for a hot chocolate and possibly an early night.

Lashing it down here in Hamtun!
I might take the fish out for a walk soon.

Won't they find it cold out there?

Got out before the storm with mini T, was even nice enough to have a coffee and toast stop. Babyccino for him this morning, couldn't agree to hot chocolate two days in a row!

Lovely start to the bank holiday ☕

That toast looks nice, just my preferred shade is that.

Paid 56p for 3kg of bananas. Need to think of something to do with bananas...

Cheeters sorbet. My neighbour makes it and its good. It's not a proper sorbet but whatever it is it's nice and keeps for a month in the freezer.
No I don't know how she makes it.

Agree, nice and thick too.
So nice that I stole half of Mini T's

It's taken me about 3 hours to get nice and toasty. But I've got there!
(File under talking of toast.)

Sainsbury used to sell a French recipe loaf baked in their in store bakeries.
It was good, good crumb, not airy and took a golden toast in all but the worst electric toasters.
I've seen no better here for a heavier white bread.

Most sorbets are usually pulped fruit, sugar and whisked egg whites.

But getting that into my freezer might be a bit, euhm, problematic...

On the flip side, a friend has agreed to take half of them off my hands. Well, a problem shared is a problem halved after all

Can't you get a bigger fridge/freezer?

I followed @biggs682's suggestion a couplen of weeks back and made a banana crumble, it was divine.

Other suggestions, bake them in foil with rum and cinnamon; make a large batch of banana and peanut butter, or mashed banana, chocolate chip and tahini 'jam'; banana pancakes; banana bread and butter pudding with banana custard

I like love am slightly obssessed with bananas!

That's a very dangerous thing to suggest to a yellow sticker-er.

I used to have two freezers, but decided not to replace the one that went t*ts up, purely on the basis that it would stop me from picking up stuff on sticker and saying "oh, I'll pop that in the freezer" and then never use it etc...

The broken freezer is now used for storing boxes of cat food.

I like this here. Only bread Mrs. GA will eat.

You'll have removed the pump and radiator from the broken freezer.
