But I do have extra grocery store fried chicken. Also a beagle constantly lamenting my wife's absence. Or her bad fortune in not getting to go to a fancy steakhouse and piano bar. I would say on a level with Ruth's Chris, but I would rather go a Brazilian thingy rather than there.

steak, beans & fruit, w/ a dark wine?

Nice sunny evening after a sunny day.
Got out for a trike run which was hard work with no motor. The motor may be good in some ways but it must interfere with fitness levels. The road as expected was not too busy and saw a few touring cyclists heading south.
Nothing much achieved today. Made some bread which did not rise too well but it will still get eaten. My own fault as I forgot initially to add milk powder which does affect the rise for reasons I do not quite understand.
I did work in a fermentation industry for 20 years using yeast so I should know but somehow that knowledge escapes me now.

I know it's Thursday and somebody will have answered.

But there are sugars in the milk powder.

Morning.
It is drizzling here. I have remembered to put our bins out this morning.

A later than usual first cuppa of a working day is poured ready for consumption.
Another milky white start to the day outside and no rain overnight.
Oh it's Friday 😂

If you set your mobile phone to vibrate and place it in a pocket near your naughty bits you will get a smile whenever the phone rings!

 

[biggs682]

Whatever next a vibrating phone making people smile....
I dread to think what happens when you get a vibrating rabbit 😂

My new phone arrived yesterday at mid day! It wasn't a DHL van. It came from John Lewis in Swindon.
It is nice and shiny. I have got to learn how to use it . I'm a bit of a Luddite!

Back home and the grass seed finally applied to the rear "lawn" trusting it gets a good soaking given the weather forecast.

And has it rained yet, no

I had a couple of dreams in the night which merged into one. The dream was sort of based on the place where I enjoyed working. The dream was about a young chap who set up a new business, he was very enthusiastic about the company and was trying to make it succeed. The business was automotive/racing business trying to get off the ground. It is strange how it popped into my head after all these years. It was 1991 when I last worked in that field.

It remains to be seen where there put it but the road in question is about 12 miles long and is initially dual carriageway, then changes to wide, single carriageway with hard shoulders on both sides. The last few miles has never been upgraded and is lined with trees, barely wide enough for two hgvs to go side by side and has a few bends with very poor sightlines. That is the place where they should put the camera (and imo lower the speed limit) but more than likely they'll put it on the dual carriageway part where there's much less danger because that's the sort of silly thing the councils around here do.

They would probably catch more people on the fast bits so make more money from fines.

That will do little for road safety, but is probably what they will do!
