Had a lovely luncheon of a toasted sesame seed bagel filled with cheese and chicken, plus a pear, an orange and two 
Afternoon was spent mainly doing kitchen / food stuff. The bread is now in the oven, I've put away the shopping, removed fruit & veg from packaging (packaging now in the soft plastics recycling), refilled the fruit bowls, sourced ingredients for tonight's supper and knocked a load more ice out of the freezer.
The ice was my fault, as a little while back I shoved something in there that really didn't fit, it expanded on freezing and thus popped the door open. Fortunately I only lost a handful of items as a result of them defrosting, but irritatingly, what I *did* lose was all my smoked haddock and smoked basa.
Anyways, I am now sat down with a nice and biskit while I wait for the bread to bake. In about five minutes, I need to take off the lid from the terracotta pot that I use for baking bread so that the crust can brown.

That's actually quite interesting - thanks for flagging it up!
And it wouldn't surprise me if the constituency returned a Liberal MP given how badly the Tories did in the two most recent lots of local elections here. Most levels of local government have gone back to the Liberals after more than thirty years of blue lockouts.
I've seen plenty of Liberal Democrat and Labour placards around and about since Parliament was dissolved, but no Conservative ones. Usually there's plenty of them, but this time they're conspicuous by their absence.
What's actually quite striking is when you compare the demographics for Cambridgeshire North East vs Ely & Cambridgeshire East.
We are not having a great time at the moment money is now really tight for a good few months. As the service provider changed a few weeks ago. Mrs 73 wage is all out. Management have not approved her over time so her old employers pay is all out. So she two different payroll dept to deal with. My pay all out too, we've managed the bills but everything else has been cut right down.
Due to Mrs 73still off sick all our routines are out as Charlie gets tired I though i'd try and get is full walks going again.
He's having a good day today so know once in the park he's happy to walk around. The walk down and back is a bit much. So went in the car on way back I needed to move right over for a car way over my side. Clipped a wheelie bin on the edge of the pavement and broke the wing mirror glass.

Just applied for a postal vote as will be out of country on GE day.
Thats the issue matching them up.
Work finished and back home a slight puzzle of a UPS delivery note in the letter box with my neighbours Christian name on it. Turned out it wasn't for her either but my house number on a different road.

The problem I have with matching is when they all start out plain black, but develop differing degrees of fade as they age.

Agree, got a drawer full of plain black ones which need matching. Needs a well lit location.
I solve that problem by having socks in all sorts of different patterns and colours.
When one gets holed the other is no use unlike plain black ones which could still be paired up. Bit miffed by one unique pair where a hole unusually appeared above the ankle on one.

Hah! Here the surviving sock (if the holey one can't be darned) gets turned in to cat toys filled with catnip.

We've got nine candidates here, including two independents, a Green AND a chap from the Monster Raving Loony party.
