I reckon that is you put cheese in it then I am far enough away to not smell it so you're OK!!!

My wife's version is mash - slightly less butter and no milk
then mash the corned beef into it which still hot

that's it

personally I am not keen on it anyway!

Yes, a totally different meal to wat as ow i have done.

Gorgeous afternoon here and I got my first walk of the year in short sleeves.

That’s 30,000 steps for the day. Feet up now.

I sat on the patio wearing shorts and scoffing a huge chocolate éclair.

Nice swim this afternoon, 500m today, with a walk from the bus-stop to where I needed to be.
A further walk will be walked soon before we bath the dog 🐶

Short afternoon blast, 26 miles 2300ft. Still really windy but lovely and warm, in full on summer kit of bib shorts and short sleeve jersey and it was bliss.

Successful meeting with the cardiac nurse was followed by afternoon tea at the Rabbit Hole in Stoke. After that, as we were close, would have been rude not to go and see the bluebells at Parrott’s Drumble.

All in all a lovely day

5k run this morning and a 11k walk this afternoon. Only got 27k steps though, not as many as Mo. Lovely sunny day, the post box in Upton looked particularly fine.

Now here's a first. I've worked all afternoon in hot sunshine and I'm now sat in cool shade enjoying a very fine IPA from Rivington Brewery. Result!

Lebara is now on my to do list. @welshdragon has a brilliant Tesco deal. Mine is £10 for 10GB and unlimited calls/texts..........the times they may be a changin'

Saw my neighbour this evening and he asked me if I could have a look at his motor mower, as it wouldn't start.
No probs.
Half an hour later, after removing and cleaning the carb, it burst into life and ran like a good 'un.
He's a happy bunny now; bit of a difference between the local farm machinery shop @ £ 90/hour and 'buy me a beer'.

RIght - the saga continues

Took the car for a sevice a few days ago - included replacing one of the back tyres

shortly after the typre pressure light comes on

anyway - took it back yesterday and they cleared it - and checked for otehr faults
came on again yesterday afternoon
took it back this morning

so - they checked it out again - this time with the "fault" still displaying
no errors found

SO they checked "the Honda site" and found that you have to drive it for 20 minutes at over 22 mph to reset the system properly

so they did that and I picked it up again

thought I would do the drive myself and was very careful - and annoying - to do over 20 minutes at about 45 mph on the local motorway

then came home normally
and on the way back - the warning comes on again

so it is booked in for another look tomorrow

I have to say that the garage is being fine - no arguments or anything and they listen to what I say

which is all you can ask really - things happen

I would ask them to disconnect the light and use one of these instead.

Morning. Another chilly start. There’s a light frost on the roofs. We are supposed to reach 19 degrees this afternoon, almost too hot for me!

 

[Dave7]

Morning all.
Been up since 4 o'clock so may shortly go back for an hour.
I have a truly free day. All jobs have been done, plenty of food made, no washing to do......so.....what to do ???
