Gentle fine rain falling

Be snowing before long!

I've been wondering how long the bulb in my 40 year old slide viewer would last.
Now I know.

I've just topped up my jar of brandied fruits, as I noticed there was only a tablespoon or so left in the bottom. Have added sultanas, mixed peel, dried cranberries and Tesco's "Island Mix" which consists of sultanas, raisins, pineapple and papaya, and then poured a bit of brandy over.

Don't use this in vast amounts, but I do like popping a bit into an apple crumble every now and again.

Do any of you hear violin music just as something dramatic is about to happen whilst you are out on your bikes?
It always seems to happen in films !

For round these parts as well. Although they did forecast it last week, and the week before...

Must be serious this time, London was mentioned as an area to be affected.

A bit like this?

Cat has been fed, and soon it will be time to feed me.

Ours have too, I must have left it late as they were all back in from the the outside cat run and hanging about.

I normally buy it whenever I see it on YS, but if I'm honest, if you want to scratch the itch, it's worth the full £4.95. The fish is sweet, moist and delicate, and the batter is crispy without being too much. There's two pieces in the box, which did mum and I very nicely.

I'll have to try again because I could only find cod in the Tesco I went to. But it didn't matter because as I was leaving for the shops I came across a very healthy and clean cauliflower in the lobby. People distribute end-of-day goods and unsold perishable goods to the block. Such a fresh-looking caulie had me buying a pint of milk instead so that I could make a cauliflower cheese. I had completely forgotten quite how much washing up that creates!

Bonnie helped me whilst I prepared my omelette..
She had the cheesy tappings from the grater, a few bits of tomato & a tiny bit of bacon.

All repair work successfully completed. Hopefully no more petrol spilling over my shoe when I fill up next time and my Brompton has three gears again.

In many thousands of miles on a variety of three speed bikes, it's the first time I ever broke a gear cable.
