They make very nice bread in Lidl, fresh daily and cheaper than buying a machine.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Unfortunately that isn't the case for us as I have to travel 25 to get to the nearest liddl. So 50 miles round trip. That makes it more expensive and would take an hour and a half to get one.

Morning been out on my trike 
and hurt my back blowing the tyres up 
anyway the battery is down to 50% power for the winter, still have to do the second battery.
Yes, definitely another Panasonic. when you strip away the more up to date casings and display, the important bit that does the mixing and baking remains essentially the same as the original. It's reassuring that having got it right, they haven't been tempted to faff around with the important bits.
I finally got out for the run that I was planning to do yesterday until the relentless rain put me off. Not the prettiest of sights as I trundled around a local 5K route, but the sun was shining and the lights were in my favour ( I have to cross a couple of busy roads with Pelican Crossings that gave me a couple of minutes respite )
I feel much the better for it.

Why didn't you use a pump?

Out of stock online. Only availlable to collect from store and nearest one is 100 miles away. In the past I've got one of the daughters to pick an item up if it is in JL Leeds / Edinburgh but not in stock in either of those stores.
I wandered around to the local small Morrisons which has an in store Post Office. All I wanted was to hand a package over for return to Amazon, and while I was there to Pick up a loaf of bread. It seemed that they were short of staff with only one person behind the counter trying to juggle two jobs. I gave up after ten minutes waiting in the queue and wandered the mile or so up the road to Broadstone. More shops and a bigger Post Office. There were people queueing out of the door so I gave up and popped in to M&S to grab a loaf. A Coffee and Walnut cake appears to have fallen in to my basket on my way to the till 🥮😎

Another little wander done. Couple of little showers but not too bad. Went into the garage when I got back and chopped up some cardboard to put in the blue bin. This new arrangement where the paper/cardboard now only gets uplifted every 4 weeks isn’t handy if you order stuff online as nearly everything seems to come in massive cardboard boxes.

We like the house we saw this afternoon and agreed on a price to buy. No chain so let's hope all goes well now.

I'm in trouble with Mrs D.
I changed the name of our ring doorbell to "uranus".
She was on the phone at work and someone pressed the button and her phone loudly proclaimed, "there is someone at your anus." Not funny, apparently.
