Was dry when I got up but then the 🌧️ rolled in so the car out on shopping tour: Waitrose (paper totally free today), Lidl (15% off rice cakes and actually had a bottle of Caesar Salad Dressing) and Morrisons (the Scampi I could not find in Asda and big bags of peas on offer). Looked at the cycling stuff in Lidl but nothing interested me.

Getting a FEB at a cafe is on my "to do" list for next time I visit the UK.

Make sure they give you a rectangular plate!

In the hotel in Carlisle, I was trying to work out how my Full English breakfast differed from the Full Scottish breakfast that I had in Dumfries the previous morning.

Or indeed, how it differed from the above full Irish breakfast.

Traditionally, the proper Ulster fry would also have included potato bread and soda bread and no beans or hash brown but I haven't seen a cafe offer a proper Ulster fry in years.

Some years ago we were in Lanzarote we went to an Irish cafe for an an Irish breakfast.The only difference was white pudding BIL asked what the difference was what the difference was between black pudding and Irish white pudding.Quite righty the waitress answer was one’s black the other white.She did have a look of pity on her face.

I still don’t, know the difference apart from one is black and one white

Afternoon, hood up due to light rain, trek for an used coffee pod drop off and then Aldi. Made the discovery that Aldi is dearer than Lidl, on a bag of five oranges by 4p.

And very much overrated

Adults can buy donuts if they want to.

No, I'm going to do the evil capitalist thing and sell it for as much as I can...

So what was it like?

Black pudding is blood based and white is not?
White puddings I have seen are a bit sweet sometimes and have a lot of oatmeal and probably lots of fat as a binder.

If I recall correctly, the Noah account comes from the period of the Exile, sometime later than Moses, that's why it's based on a Babylonian text.le

No, it's far older than the Exile,

A friend of mine's brother has got Lymes disease from a tick bite. He got it in his garden on a housing estate. You wouldn't think of getting bitten in your garden.
