Pity, as I'd a really "good" answer.

Yes, I had that problem. Cheese (unless it was very strong) was tasteless as was fish.
Strangely my sense of smell improved. I asked one of the Chemo nurses if I was going bonkers, because if there were scenes of a fire on a television programme, I could smell smoke and burning. She said that as your taste buds diminish, the nose will compensate.
Scenes of long-unihabited buidlings, and old smokey pubs also appeared as "smelly vision". There are still a lot of things that other people would describe as "pleasant" whereas I would say they have an over-powering smell of bleach, disinfectant or similar things.
So, @biggs682 please be careful how much after shave you are wearing!

Just finished baking last batch of @Reynard Honiglebkuchen , a big thank you it's a hit for sure. Boy it's moreish polished off about 1/2 the 1st tray. 
They are fab and will now be added to my working recipe collection book.
In my defence it's the 1st time baking them. Plus I think in the factory they just wrote the temp on the oven for a laugh. It's way off on this new oven. Sholund also say the tray is small another pain of this oven. My best trays no longer fit.

I have just come back from posting local Christmas cards. I went out on my Orbit. I did 10.5 miles. It is the first time I have been out on a bike since getting this horrible cold .
We had the annual burglar alarm service done today.We have an alarm next to the bed.So Mrs P out i pulled the bed away from the wall to allow him to get to it.Yes guess what after he left the hernia started,i had to lay down,i actually had a kip.it was lovely i did not mind.
With modern cars going onto 'standby' when you take the ignition key out instead of completely switching off, as in the 'old days', I was concerned about coming back to a flat battery after our ten day break sans car. 
As advised by my local garage, the answer is simple; disconnect the negative terminal. Job done - !
I did ponder that possibility, but it's good to get professional confirmation.

Gales are coming sooner than expected.
Mid 60’s overnight and all morning ferries cancelled.
Looks not too bad just now but looking out I see the fish farmers heading in at speed. They do not hang about and at a guess are doing 25 knots at least through the Diorlinn.
Rain seemed to ease off earlier so want out for a walk. As soon as I got to the mid point rain started again so got pretty wet.
Everything seems a bit negative these days. Must be the short days having some effect.

I'll check that wee detail thanks, but not overly bothered as I don't tend to listen to it much, or when the GLW is in the car; which is usually I don't need it (
), or I have CDs on.

What do you think of my new hat?
That was a problem with a 2003 Seat Ibiza I part exchanged. The code was written on the back of a business card from its original garage. Of course at some point before it was sold on someone cleared the document folder of such irrelevant items without looking on the back. Got a call from its new owner wondering if I knew the code, which I did not.
