I had a very nice scallop muffin for luncheon, and then some cheese & biscuits, a banana, a pear and two

A blend of 2 parts Tesco Gold to one part Yorkshire is drinkable. It still has that bitter undertone, though.

I'm up, had breakfast & 1st cup of coffee. cats have had their initial offerings. have to pull the bike out of the basement cuz it will warm up this afternoon. comfortable temps for a ride (around mid-30sF). oh also have to put the bike rack on the car & pack a bag of clothes for after work. so much easier riding straight from home ...

nope, didn't do it. wound up cleaning snow off 3 cars & fixed a detached wiper blade. ran out of time for the ride-prep. shudda done it Monday nite. thinking about the stationary bike tonight after work instead. yeez, I'm losing my edge

auto oil changed! why does that feel like an accomplishment, when I didn't do it myself?

I feel lucky when my job is good every day.

Another car transport day.
Pharmacy had one missing item in my prescribed meds as it had not turned up as ordered. This is happening with increasing frequency. Just as well I keep a months supply of everything in stock.
They did give me eye drops on a pharmacy prescription which is a handy system and saves me money as well. Don't know if that operates in England.
Had a look at a forestry road which used to be part of my regular Sunday morning route if there were no club outings. Surface looks pretty good for my trike but have not yet found out if there are timber lorries likely to be using it as it is too narrow to pass such a thing and deep ditches either side. Certainly the surface is not used by lorries at present. Waiting on the Ranger Service to get back to me on this.
I did get a short walk using two walking poles rather than the stick I normally use. Gives better balance so need to increase the distance a bit as often as possible.

I've redone the drawing for the piece of artwork. Looks better than the original attempt, I think.

My original intention was to use a painting I did last summer, but it didn't look right when I tried to turn it into a card. So I've gone back to the photograph I worked from to do a different version.

I have fed the cats. Soon it will be time to feed me.

And has anyone seen my large box of artists pens? I have the box of 4 to hand, but it's sod's law that the pen I want to use is in the pack of 12 that I can't find. Suspect the parental unit has been "tidying up".

Yebbut it's HER sofa, tho...

You are correct. My role is just to pre heat it, dispense treats and find the cat toys.

I love the smell of a freshly peeled orange

Try some of these!

They may be what you're after.

How about Tiree Tea. They do some herbal stuff as well. I think it is run or certainly promoted by a wee wumman who is a crofter but I also saw her driving a huge artic from a haulage company based in Tiree. People living on the islands frequently have multiple jobs.

I'm stuffed...

Alphabet soup, then salmon-in-a-parcel and spaghetti in a spinach, pesto and sun-dried tomato sauce.

You have been trained well, I see...

Please give Madam a chin tickle from me.

Looks good - if I wanted tea bags.

I have a lovely tin of Irish Breakfast tea. I'm trying to eke it out. There's some nice places in Cambridge that sell good teas, but right now, I'm avoiding Cambridge as much as I'd avoid Mos Eisley.
