A few years ago Mrs Tkk and I walked St Cuthberts Way. We were chatting to the proprietors of our first nights B+B and how they must meet a rich variety of people. As Mrs Tkk and I are both vegetarian I enquired about breakfast preferences, have people's choices changed over the years etc. He told of one visitor who wanted a " full English " but asked that each component be served on a separate plate 😮

Good morning from a sunny but cold and windy Dorset. Not a lot planned, but will reposition one of the hedgehog cameras as the washing whirlygig is on the edge of the frame and the wind movement is triggering false alarms. Mrs Tkk is off to Pilates class this morning so I might amble up to Wimborne again.

Yes - but hating cheese is perfectly reasonable
I am not great fan of eggs - but they are IMPROVED by beans!!!

Just 5 degrees here with a high of around 11 later but it's dry, that's all that matters. If the forecast doesn't change, it looks like being dry right up until the 2nd of May.
7.5 mile walk done.

No exactly
The different parts all have their own tastes and textures
so a fork with bacon and mushrooms will have a different taste and texture to black pudding and egg
etc
liquidise the whole thing and you are like the mathematician who starts solving a practical problem about cows by saying
"First consider a spherical cow"
and no I can;t remember where that comes from

Well I think some cheese is improved by putting blue mold into it
Well it increases the incentive to chuck it in the bin!!

Just got my Virgin Media bill
£3.34 added on as "extras"
turns out it is a single phone call that doesn;t come under the "included" conditions
had a look and it is my wife phoning the Inland Revenue
she had to phone as they say she does not have enough ID to create an online account
and the phone call took over an hour
most of which was either waiting for an answer
or trying to persuade the person on the other end that swapping her marriage allowance away from me and back to her did not require him to confirm the exact date of both her divorces
One of which was well over 10 years ago
and the other was over 40 years ago!!!
and we got married - which is the only one that matters for this - 9 years ago
(yesterday actually - we both forgot - which is a first for me - probably about a 7th for her!!!)

Ah as long as he is OK. I did enquire elsewhere as I noticed he'd dropped of the radar in mid March, but then he has done so before. Give him my best regards!
Will do 👍
