I am waiting for my porridge to cool down , with egg mixed in for protein. Then cycling, I am going to try and leave home before 9.30 . I’m not an early starter . 🤔 Think I will defrost some blueberries and cherries to add to porridge.
I've never heard of adding egg to porridge! Pease Porridge is high in Protein so I suppose adding dried pea powder to ordinary porridge would work.

A talk by our club coach she told us of the benefits of combining carbs and protein for breakfast. She suggested following porridge with egg on toast. Well I haven’t got time for that , so eggy porridge.
I have to admit she didn’t look to enthusiastic when I told her about my idea .

Good morning peeps.. @numbnuts I think I saw you at 0400. I woke up and for some reason thought it MUST be at least 0730.
Got dressed......only to find it was 0400. Got back into PJs and went back to bed :rolleyes:

MrsD had a fall last night and hurt her right wrist. It appears sprained not broken. Sadly means she is more incapacitated the usual. Hey Ho....life's rich tapestry etc.


Mrs d and yourself have not had an easy time of late.I hope things start to improve for you both😍😍😍

Morning. Back from a damp and drizzly walk. Still enjoyed it though.

Just leaning on the kitchen worktop looking out the window while waiting on my porridge and glanced up at the sky to see 3 Red Kites. I know they are in the area but can't say I've noticed them directly over the town before. Nice to see.
I do like watching Kites ^_^ they seem to enjoy a windy day and play with the air currents. Walking by Loch Brora one day there was a perfect rainbow over the water, a Kite appeared and flew through the 'arch' of the rainbow, shafts of sunlight lighting up its plumage- would've made a painting!
Soggy old morning here, hopefully it'll brighten up later :okay:

Well the Bin men have just been, or rather the bin man. We usually have a large truck with a team of people working their way along the road, loading pairs of bins onto the rear of the refuse truck. Today we have a much smaller truck operated by one person. He parked up, got out and loaded a couple of bins and then replaced them, rinse and repeat...
Perhaps it is the driver shortage taking effect. I can see how it would be more attractive to drive a delivery truck for one of the Supermarket Home Delivery fleet than a smelly rubbish truck.
