Today I shall venture out the house for the first time in four days. I must drag my diseased body to the supermarket to forage for fishfingers and custard tarts.

Very sensible comfort food !

I have a cold, not as bad as TVC but still snuffly and a bit croaky.

Hope you don't get any worse and start to feel better soon . Sounds like it's TVC's turn to look after you !

Thinking I should be out for a spin as it's such a lovely autumnal day, but don't want to disturb Mrs LL from her slumbers

I keep all my cycling gear in another room , so I can get up and go out for a cycle ride without disturbing Mr K, as he works shifts .

The rain has arrived, that's my plans for a bike ride this afternoon scuppered.

We believe you . . . Hm.

Walking home last night out of the pitch black park, found a cuddly toy on the path (I had my bike light for a torch) about half a mile later saw a young family crossing the road and just asked on the off chance if they'd lost one.

Turned out they had and the young lad was quite upset about it, they were just about to go and buy him a new one, was nice to be able to reunite it with it's grateful owner

That's a great happy ending story , well done .

A hip flask is the answer

My hip flask generally has the whisky in it.

I decided to MTFU and go for a ride. I did 12.3 miles in just under an hour. It was that cold i stopped quite a few times to cough my lungs up, due to the horrible cold air.

The rain arrived when I was pedalling through Balsall Common and continued the rest of the way home.

It smells divine (even if I say so myself) and will be perfect by the time Mr R gets back this evening. I'm going to do some mashed sweet potato and steamed broccoli to go with it.

Mashed sweet potato, tsch! Cosmopolitan Elite.

 

[TVC]

Staple food in much of Africa (albeit without lashing of butter)....

I prefer mine roasted, not really got the hang of it mashed.

Evening all, I am back from my foray into the north. I had a nightmare journey on Friday that took me nearly 6 hours thanks to the wonderous M42 and M6.

Pizza night, TVC tells me it is a cure for man flu

Scout Leader that doesn't travel well.

It is a cold but pretty morning here with a bit of frost around. The sky is a light shade of blue fading into turquoise with pink streaks of clouds.
In the distance I can see that someone is either feeling the heat or that their window is broken and are unable to shut it, it is at a strange jaunty angle, it's been like it for days.

I'll bet their doorstep is just full of milk bottles they can't be arsed to take in too.....

 

[Salty seadog]

Cheese and Biscuits kind of a guy here too (Stilton on buttered Digestives with a glass of Tawny Port for preference)

Yep, cheese and biscuits for afters here too.

 

[slowmotion]

I have very cold wet feet. I'm running a very hot bath.

 

[Salty seadog]

It's cold, wet and windy.

Give us a chance I've only just stepped out of the shower.

Haha, got about an hour until I'm home, may follow your lead. Good to meet up with you today sir.

You spoil that man, you know...
