I just had fish, chips & mushy peas.

I've had a bacon sandwich and a piece of cake.

I haven't got any fish, chips & mushy peas.

I haven't either, but I've got two nice pieces of cod for tomorrows tea.

We've got Cod Loins for tonight, well it is fish Friday !

Had another senior moment this morning. I was supposed to have a GP telephone appointment at 11.15, had my phone next to me waiting for it to ring. 11.25, thinking they're late, checked phone 'you had a missed call rang for 20 seconds'. Checking the phone settings I realised its been on silent mode since the wedding we went to 3 weeks ago!

Photograph ....or it never happened

Right - that's done

Just had my Covid booster shot - apparently it was the Physer one - whatever

was a bit worried but I didn;t stick to the bike when I got home - apparently I'm not magnetic


maybe the magnetism is really a bike safety system forward by e.g. Chris Boardman so that people stick to their bikes and therefore don;t fall off - therefore cycling is safer
Maybe it could be better for reducing cycling injuries that wearing a helmet

it does work on alloy frames doesn't it??

*Warning - above post may involve irony, sarcasm and possibly downright stupidity
Oh - and I have a degree in Chemistry - so please don;t tell me how magnetism works - I already know - hence the warning

You sir are a heathen
Ketchup with fish
Beans with fish and double

Naturally you have ketchup with fish
I would be prepared to have proper peas rather than mushy peas - but beans are better - especially with extra ketchup - but posh restaurants are happier with peas

I can put forward extra evidence - in the name of my 5 year old autistic grandson who can - using very few words most of which cannot be easily understood - clearly show that ketchup goes with everything

but basically it is just right - this is known

It's all a bit weird. Had my Pfizer booster 7.00pm yesterday and was tender round the jab site within minutes. Felt much the same this morning, nothing to mention really till 12.00 when BAM! suddenly I got very achey. Couple of paracetamol but still felt rubbish. Carried on doing stuff and suddenly at 3.30 the aches and tenderness disappeared almost in an instant. Not sure what to do about riding tomorrow?

Went to the garage earlier because I'd left my glasses in the car. Got back to the house. Where are my glasses? Still in the friggin' car.....................it gets worse by the day

Ketchup ✅ go to the top of the class

Beans ❌ naughty step for you!

Strange...

(Heinz) Ketchup = 23% sugar with some vegetables = ok?

(Heinz) Beans = less than 5% sugar with some vegetables = NOT ok?

Does... not... compute!

A momentous day for me, returned to a volunteering shift at St Giles’ Cathedral. Some old familiar sights that I’ve not seen since March last year.
