Real ones or the chemical poisoned ones?

The one I had for lunch was the best I've ever had. Proper stuff from a specialist fishmonger that uses their own smokehouse. And definitely not Trump coloured.

Went out at lunchtime for a trike run and it started to rain.
Half a mile away no rain and it turned into a nice sunny day with a very brisk wind. A lot of traffic but being able to judge passing places they were not too much bother.
Tomorrow is forecast to be heavy rain all day but better by Wednesday which looks like the last opportunity to get out without getting wet for some time.
I don't mind myself getting wet but I prefer the trike to stay dry as it lives in my car.

You are not alone in losing things off the car roof. Tourists here are forever driving off and leaving mostly cameras and phones on the car roof. Mostly they get them back but some obviously just write it off and never enquire if anybody has picked the item up. I did find one on top of a wall once but it was full of rainwater and ruined anyway so I just left it.

It happens with racing.

In the Junior Men's race son no. 2's damaged bike ended up in someone else's car. Only they didn't put the front wheel in, instead leaving it where the bike swap was made.

We dashed back after the race to find it: one of the local residents had very kindly stood guard over the wheel. They'd decided it was valuable (it is) so made sure it didn't disappear.

I was searching for an article on dogs anal glands, as you do, and the first in the list was the fact that I can buy them on Amazon!

No thanks, I'll not bother

The first part of that post was already too much information, thanks.

I have taken a pack of aberdeen angus beef sausages out of the freezer. They can defrost in the fridge overnight.

Right, almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Oh yeah, and I've been watching a bit of tennis. Well, watching is a bit of a misnomer. It's been on in the background while I get on with some research for my writing project.

C/F/Amin/G is the sequence if anyone would like to join in. The person 7 ahead of me has serious medical issues.....

Curious... Perfect pitch, a good ear or enough time to pick up your axe and play along?

We had some rain earlier so that saved me watering the garden
Betty's carrot cake is still yummmy

Suggestions of another rail strike this weekend may cause a change in my plans. I've got yet another night out in Nottingham at Rock City with train tickets booked out on Friday & home on Saturday. This time my hotel is on the outskirts, not the city centre, so I could drive up on Friday and then stop off at Donington Park on the way home on Saturday as there's an MG Car Club race meeting on.
Hopefully the Tram drivers are not part of the action as my hotel is right next to the park & ride at the end of the line.

So it's really the grunts that you're listening to.

I’d like it to rain now please. Proper hard summer evening rain.

There are five walnut trees in our garden, they are heavily laden with immature green walnuts. So naturally enough l spent an hour or two picking walnuts, chopping them into pieces and then immersing them in a litre of vodka , sugar, cinnamon and vanilla pods ...in other words the beginning of the process which ends up as Nocino. One of the most delicious poisons known to mankind
