Hover fly is going to make a pie.
Pie was a success, much to moon bunny’s amazement.

My working day is completed
Early start for a day in the office and managed open two new bottles of milk. Once home bread and butter pudding made and the bread maker on to use up a chunk of milk. Turned very wet and currently only 16C.
Out of Apricot so Blackcurrant jam used to glaze the pudding.

Wind and rain stopped eventually but I have not been outdoors at all today.
Nothing much achieved.
A cruise liner was anchored in a strange spot this morning with a distant view of Tobermory to tantalise the inmates. There is deep water and shelter from a westerly gale under the cliffs which is probably the reason.
We are not the only ones to have ferry booking problems. Been in contact with my brother in Shetland and they have great difficulty getting a car and cabin booking together on the same overnight sailing to Aberdeen.
They are heading down to @Raynard country where his wife came from.

Had a lovely luncheon of a seafood stick sandwich, an orange, some raspberries and two 
The jam making plans were scuppered on account that I'd forgotten that I needed to go and pick up the parental's prescription. So that has been deferred till tomorrow. So instead, I rebuilt the broken supports for the tomato plants - I did bang in the vertical stakes the other day when the ground was saturated after all the rain - but I had to add in the crosspieces, the abutments and then re-tie all the tomato plants to the whole shebang. My arms were a vibrant shade of green by the time I finished!
Went foraging on the way back from picking up mum's meds. I have some apples from a tree in a nearby hedgerow that I know produces really good fruit - well five apples, but it's better than nowt, and I also have some walnuts. They're still not quite ready, but the weekend's storm brought them down, and so it was worth furkling. In any case, it was just nice being outside and doing some gentle exercise. It's better than being sat at home feeling sorry for myself.
The cat has been fed, and soon it will be time to feed me.

It was the forerunner of the X Flies as it was all filmed in the dark. Amazingly nobody carried a torch when they were looking for something.
Apple TV seemingly free of charge. Barclays have a reward account whereby you transfer £5 into it a month and that reward account entitles you to various offers etc. I immediately move the £5 to a, exclusive to the reward account, higher than normal interest saving account. Today they messaged me saying they were giving reward account users free Apple TV or MLS subscriptions. At the second attempt seems to have worked with the app functioning on the TV without having to enter any card details. Pity there is no choice of having a free Discovery Plus cycling subscription.

Turned out to be a nice afternoon. I worked another hours overtime.
I went to get a few things from yesterday old supermarket before going out for about 20 miles on the single speed.
Done some packing. Knowing me, I'll more than likely forget something.

Well a significant day today.
Cycled 25km, lunched in the sunshine, borrowed a settee for a few hours and cycled back 25km.
Lessons are that I like Belgium. My recollection of the relationship between cyclists and motorists is misplaced.
The knob in the BMW soft top on Baron d'Huart so nearly got me. But there is no doubt he heard what I called him. I was so near his ear!
Sadly it was French in a Flemish area.
Maybe he missed the flashing light, the yellow helmet and dayglo top.
