Almond milk in the UK is 2% almonds
Almond milk in Australia is 2.5% almonds and therefore contains more calories!

Nothing more than I did for nearly 2 years. Was doing 22 miles each way minimum though admittedly only with around 200m climbing each way and only 3-4 times a week. But between you and I he is a much stronger, faster cyclist than I and it will get rid of his beer belly and make him look slimmer again!

Sadly and probably correctly again between you and I,he has also pointed out that 400m lower will probably be way too warm for me but I need to look up if it is actually 400m lower down the mountains of if he is making that bit up!



You were lucky. 2 years ago the telephone line supplying our (now old) Lane was hit by lightening and someone's socket was blown off the wall. We were away from home at the time, me for some time (solo tour) and my hubby joining me for the weekend. He left the laptop plugged into the mains through an old surge protector and the network cable plugged into the router. Obviously the router was on.... We lost the laptop, router and telephone plus the surge protector and the laptop insurance didn't cover lightening strikes! Mind you BT had to recable the entire lane which took months. That's only the damage I got to know about as well. We spent 6 months with intermittent telephone and broadband (as did many others).

There was a lightning strike in Enderby (My home old village) that trashed a bunch of peoples computers.

Well I have watered the pot plants round the front, opened the greenhouse , had a look at the pond life and checked my wife's car for petrol leaks and couldn't find anything. Memory seems to be working at the moment, now to pop down town in my Pjams.

I mean sorry to hear that

 

[Illaveago]

I went down town no problems. I see that they are starting to get things ready for the Folk Festival Bank Holiday weekend, that usually means that it will tip down. We feel sorry for all of the people that make all that effort and then the weather turns sour.
I have just made myself tinned pilchards on toast, I added tomato ketchup as it tasted a bit bland. The toast was rare as it had turned a bit black.

I rode down to the library only to find it closed.. 'Sorry for the inconvenience ' yada yada yada.
Bleh!

Still, on the good side, I met an old mate that I havn't seen for a while

The washing is like the magic porridge pot today

You growing pot plants, and admitting to it.
Memory seems to be on the blink again.

My frivolous purchase today was one of those Karcher window vac gadgets, I expect it will be a two minute wonder but I'm a sucker for stuff like that

It may end up in the car to vacuum all the condensation from the inside of my windows in the winter

We have one of those, it's FAB for window condensation in the winter.
