.... it didn't stop twiddling down.

No reason not to throw frisbee around…

Err on the side of caution and have steak and chips with a pint of Guinness just on case.

Pizza and coke it was, provided by local takeaway (I live only once so I don't mind junk food occasionally).

Co-op had given me a 50p off Kelly's ice cream voucher so I was expecting them to have gone back up in price but no still £3. Seems to have been something of a run on them as a result with no honeycomb left so bought a raspberry ripple instead.
The 30+ mph gusts have gone just in time for an ebike ride for bananas, the Co-ops being too green, which saw no emergency stops needed for a dog but one for a diagonal walking pedestrian.

Having difficulty keeping my eyes open, must be the 2 mile walk with the dog & cooked breakfast.

Nudge me if anything happens.

Why'd you take a cooked breakfast on a two mile walk?
It'd have seen it all before, and cold by the time you got back.

 

[classic33]

I have a major dilemma - am I hungry or not.

Err towards the first and avoid the second one.

Listening to some old-school jazz on the wireless.

Wagyu burger*, fried onions, roasties done with sausage dripping, and a salad. Plus a flat peach for afters.

*absolutely banging. Would pay the full whack for these if I fancied them again. Couldn't finish a whole one as they were 6-and-a-bit ounces each, and very rich.

Like the sound of a wagyu burger as never tried one. Love burgers with loads of gherkin and Frenches mustard for some reason, ooh, and melted shropshire blue, yum

This was the first time I'd had wagyu. The burger was butter-soft and so tasty. Less is more with these, I think.

I've seen wagyu steaks in Aldi (the burgers were "new" in Tesco), and I'm now planning on giving them a whirl.

Back from a surprisingly wet evening's racing; the 3/4 below turned into a three-rider break who were caught after the primes and then went onto finish 1-2-3 anyway. Son no. 2 was second then first in the primes (photo below), winning beer (no use as none of us drink alcohol) and 3rd overall:

Aaaaargh! I want to use Paypal for something, but I can't get into my account. Haven't used it in ages. Verification needs to come through a mobile number, but I've a new number after falling out with Virgin and moving to Tesco mobile, and I'm being sent round in circles.

I can't verify my account because I've not got the number I registered it with, and because I've got a new phone number, I can't get into my account to change it.

Flaming busy days at work - doesn't half put reading CycleChat back by a few hours. Yet another day of somebody elses technical glitch last week causing us more problems - especially when the responsible department denies all knowledge until we provide evidence and insist that they investigate.

Other than that, not a bad day in that I missed all the rain (it started 5 minutes after I got home) and I was able to show another team exaclty where the 8 pallets of stored goods were that they couldn't find - right in front of them with the labels facing forward

Judging by the sounds from the kitchen, the rain's picked up in intensity again. It's giving the windows a decent hammering.

It may be easier to set up a new account and just let t'other one fade away.. (unless you have any money stashed in it, that is)

That's pretty well much what I was thinking. And no, there's nothing in my account, I only ever used it to transfer funds.

It's been a year and a half or something like that since I last used it.
