I am a busy boy. This is our late all day brunch/breakfast.
Having consumed that I am now about to make tomorrows Lamb curry. It will marinate overnight then be slow cooked for 7 hours tomorrow.
Seems a shame to eat it after all that trouble but we will give it a go ^_^

So I'm in the new cafe and I'm sort of 60/40 - great soup, good coffee but the Tea Bread* could be moister and should come with butter. Good value.

They have a sharing table which was the only place to sit. Now I think people who sit on sharing tables need to understand cyclists sweat, quite a lot.......:hungry:

@BobP *Tea Bread is a fruit cake made with cold tea. Oup norf it's served with butter.

While I'm on the patisserie section the local delicacy in my town is Chorley Cake. This is a pastry filled with currants, it should also be served with butter.

Bread, cake, pastry, biscuit.......love 'e
Thanks for the translation Paul. :smile::smile: I love pastries and sweets. :smile::smile: Not good coz I have Type 2 diabetes. :sad::sad:. I don't take insulin or check my blood sugar ever. Don't even know I have it really. Just have to be a little careful with my diet.

I phoned the golf club ay 08.30 to book a tee for next week. It was lashing down ** here so I said to the guy "you wont get many out playing today"......he said "we've got 35 on the course already" :blush:
I mean.....08.30. Just getting light. Freezing cold. Heavy rain and wind. And they are out playing golf. Are they mad??
**@BobP "lashing down" = p*ssing down:rolleyes:
Thanks for the translation. LOL. Some of your terms I can figure out. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: You guys have some hard core golfers! I love playing golf but haven't played in forever. :sad::sad:

I've been cycling for over 50 years, for 25 of those I was a club rider, I've ridden club rides, Audax"s, charity rides and reliability trials. And I commuted by bike for over 30 years. I'm now in my mid sixties with a dodgy ticker so I can still do the distance but I'm slow, yesterdays ride took close to 4 hours.
4 hours or 3 hours, 50 miles is still a LONG ride! I hope I can get 'er done someday and think I will, but for now it seems like a very high bar to jump over! Take care of that ticker young man. Have a great afternoon! :smile::smile::smile:
