It very nearly didn't with all the tangents we followed...

I have cooked some lentils and de-husked a load of walnuts.
With the latter, the trick is to wait until the husks are either striped or spotted with brown, and then they just pop open when you squeeze them. Rubber gloves recommended though, it's a messy old business.

Couldn't you have picked one and stuck with that one?

A bright start to the morning I rarely found to be a good omen and today is no exception as it clouded over rapidly.
Decided to have a go at cycling Loch na Keal road which turned out to be a bad idea. On the way down met small convoys of cars all led by a motorhome.
The road was far too busy to be pleasant for triking so gave up after a short run and returned. Convoys led by motorhomes here as well and it gets interesting when two meet with not enough room in passing places. People and motorhomes and camper vans everywhere so no peace as there used to be.
Did have an interesting conversation with a guy who came from Norfolk area and had a Berlingo conversion which looked reasonably practical. Unfortunately I need to carry the trike which makes it difficult as I do not fancy leaving it outside at night.
Library day which brought bad news. The library is closing in a couple of weeks time and the librarian made redundant. It does not affect me too much as I mainly go to help keep it open. I already have enough books of my own to keep me going.
It has been closed before and reopened in different premises. I remember our local councillor at one time saying at a public meeting she would never support closing our library. I never occurred to her that we are not totally daft and checked the voting records where it was shown that she voted in favour of closure.😠

You needed to look at every possibly, then pick one and follow that.
Less time wasted that way.

I have had some fun by channeling Nelson Piquet to add more depth to a minor character.
Time to put the writing away for now, as it's almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Evening .
I went to Castor Combe race circuit today to watch some classic car racing . It was nice and sunny but the wind was cold . I had to put my pullover and jacket on to keep warm . There were some people walking around in shorts and T shirts!
. I enjoyed the racing . The F3 500cc cars were fun .
