Fabby supper of homemade lamb kebabs in a wrap with lettuce, cucumber and a sauce made from yoghurt, mint & garlic, plus some home made potato salad and a greek salad. That really scratched an itch, as I've been fancying a kebab for aaaaaaages!
P.S. I'm not fattening the cat @cyberknight but she *did* have some of the lamb before it got turned into kebabs.
It was a joke about dodgy meat at Chinese takeaway, probably not in the best of taste... Dammit another one 🙂

I defrosted my fridge last night and it took so long for the ice to melt that I had to leave it overnight. As a result, the kitchen floor is a bit puddly this morning. The milk is still good though so I'm about to pour mug number three.
I fear my fridge is not long for this world.

Good morning from an occasionally sunny but more often cloudy Suffolk. Coffee has been had.
Don't plan on doing much today - probably just the vacuuming and then cutting the grass which will leave most of the afternoon free for lazing around.

Bin has been placed in its normal resting place.
Second cuppa went down well earlier.
I fear today could be a day I might get annoyed with a supplier but it won't get me anywhere

A blustery and at times wet few miles on the bike this morning, a few odd moments of nice sunshine too.
Must remember to be positioned in front of a back window tonight at 9.30 for the first of this year’s Tattoo flypasts. Apparently it will be a Typhoon tonight.

After much searching found a place for Sunday dinner that pleases everyone 🙂
Had a wander up the road with Mrs CK this morning as the kids being teenagers were still surfacing and a nice cuppa at a little cafe without the kids made a nice change.
Got a text from the garage saying they are still waiting for parts for the car but at least it's getting sorted.
Finally contacted the builder about the gate alterations as I decided rather than just getting them to cut the brickwork wider I would rather pay more and get them to sort the gate out .I know it will cost more but getting it done right and less stress for me.

Credit where credit is due - I've had two good customer service experiences recently.
1. Powerbank from INIU - had it 10 months, does a great job of charging phones etc multiple times. Suddenly stopped working when we were camping. Checked Amazon returns, not interested. Contacted INIU, responded fast, please send video of fault. Video sent, response, oh very sorry, three year guarantee, a new one is in the post - arrived a day later.
2. Magicshine lights. Bought a new commuter light, a Hori 1300 - just come on the market. Had it a few weeks. Customer services email, oh, really sorry, but some of the units have a power save problem, stop using it. Oh, what do I do. Response, we'll send you a new updated one - I can keep the existing one !

Vacuuming done, grass (or what remains of it) cut, bedding changed, washed and now on the whirligig to dry. Second coffee just about to be drunk with a sausage roll snack to go with it.
If I can get off my backside once the coffee's been had the car may get a quick wash and polish.
