Do you mean hard as in difficult or hard as in @Drago 's reaction to Carl Vordermann ?

Difficult

Main oven repaired this morning. Was the heating element. Turns out that for the top oven is at the base so it also heats the main oven given long enough.
Was not as dull today although there were the odd spells of light rain.

Please could we have a bit of sunshine and warmth. Having done the shopping and had a mug of coffee for warmth, I went back out but had to cut the ride short due to starting to lose feeling in my fingers & toes despite being well wrapped up. Strava showed a 'Feels like' temperature of -1°C

Just for information the pack of Ibuprofen I found this morning has a use by date of 04/20

My alarm is set for 02:50 for the next two days 😢

Fabulous supper of leek & potato soup, mushroom gołąbki* baked in a tomato cream sauce, and rumbledethumps.

If I'd added a dessert, I'd have a lovely menu for an informal dinner party. Thing is, there's no room for dessert!

* savoy cabbage leaves stuffed with fried mushrooms, shallots and cous cous (should be buckwheat or barley if you want to be properly traditional). This is normally served on Christmas Eve in some regions of Poland, but is just a damn nice veggie supper. The version stuffed with minced pork and rice is also very good.

This evening's hot chocolate has just been made and a small bag of crisps has been opened for snacking. It may be hokum, but I'm going with 'Feed a cold, starve a fever'

You've missed out the important bit - namely the flavour of said crisps.

Salted crisps and chocolate is actually a really nice combo.

My back seems to get better as the day goes on. I feel much better now and even did my usual four mile perambulation route for the first time this week.

I stopped in the newsagents and treated myself to this month's Practical Classics and a Galaxy (the chocolate bar, not a Ford people car).

Then I get to go to bed and seize up overnight, and get to do it all over again tomorrow!

The one thing is that I've worked up extra time this week as I wasn't going to be doing much else, so have only 2.5 hours to work tomorrow.

Ever since I was looking for electric shaver parts for my dad a few weeks ago, eBay feel the need to email about endless offers on Philips shavers. How many do they think I need anyway!

I cooked Szechuan Chicken tonight, Chicken cut into small chunks then marinaded in lightly whipped Egg with Salt and Cornflour stirred in to make like a Batter. Stir-fried with a Green Pepper cut up into similar sized pieces, some (home toasted) Cashews, chopped Chilli, Spring Onion, with a Hoi-Sin, Dry Sherry, Sesame Oil and Ginger Sauce.

Do you do home delivery?

Ice cream late in the evening, or any other time when you'd normally be doing very little.
Sweat it out!

Oooo, that sounds good. Noodles or egg-fried rice?
