On the subject of kiwi fruit we are on holiday at our son's home in Belgium and visited his local Aldi.
They were selling the same Zestri brand from NZ that we get in Oz.
Good morning all, the green bin lorry has just been down the road.
It's due to be another warm and sunny day.
More planting out to be done in the garden. The tomatoes need to go out,some of then have got flowers on, and the sunflowers need to go into the garden along with the wallflower plants for next year.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning. Warm and beautiful start to the day. I have a hangover!! I went to the quiz last night and unusually had three pints of beer and we didn't leave till 11.30. Home and in bed by midnight, at least two hours late for me. Woke at 2.00am, sweating and feeling grim. I got back to sleep and finally woke at 6.00am feeling very dehydrated. I don't think it's the alcohol but more to do with the heat, general dehydration etc. I'm currently pouring fluids in.
I'm joining the club for what should be a relatively straight forward 55 miles. We will see. I'm running a bit late so rather than rush I'll ride towards the group on the published route. Catch you all later.

I had crab (to eat) at Cromer. 1st and possibly the last time. I really enjoyed it but the strong smell always puts me off.
I do particularly like fresh crab sandwiches made with thick wholemeal bread.
I get what you mean about the smell, but it doesn't affect me.

The same with fish.... I enjoy eg cod, mackerel, salmon but I cant eat fish pie, its just too fishy.

Cake baked, not had crab since I left Aussie,
we had blue swimmers and mud crabs they were massive in size, one claw would be a meal.

Morning
Just come back from a ride
started off a bit scary
Firstly I was on the shared cycle path - type shared with pedestrians at the side
and a Merc SUV came round the corner with it's very raspy engine reving VERY hard
it is only a very slight curve - but he was pushing it so much I was actually worried it would hold on the road!!
and if he lost it he would have gone right through me!!!
then a bit later - on a nice wide cycle path leading to The Bridge - 2 bloke came along side by side and the one on their right just kept going
I slowed done but had to stop right at the side and even then he missed me by less than an inch!!
then a bit later a bloke riding on his own - but on a slightly narrower path - nearly hit me due to fiddling with a device on his bars ratehr than looking properly
After that all was well - had a nice coffee at the cafe boat and a nice chat with them
and the sun and scenery were great - and some lovely boats on the canal
now for lunch!
