Tuesday now and time to go tinkering

Tuesday, time to ride.

A bit like me then...

I am British; I was born a Cockney, raised a Gooner and am now a fenland gal. But... I am half Belgian, a quarter German and a quarter Polish by ancestry. If that's not mixed up, then I don't know what is.

I'm a mix of Russian, Polish, Mongolian, Yorkshire and Kent in the three generations before me.

I had a lovely aberdeen angus burger for lunch. I am still not very hungry.

Normally £1.30 each off the counter, they were marked down to 65p. Much nicer than any offering from any of the burger houses, I had mine in a wholemeal roll with fried onions, mustard and ketchup.

Worth every penny and then some.

Oh, you accidently put ketchup in it. Probably too late to do anything about it once you realised. We all know ketchup's for kids.

I'm fond of ketchup, I don't like brown sauce though.

Morning. The grey is becoming a bit brighter.

Now you've done it.

We have been out trimming the hedge!
Whoops! The hazel and other bushes that is . Also been gathering some nuts at the same time .
I wonder if Hedgehogs eat nuts as a lot have fallen .

I just looked that up.

Ouch man, I feel your pain...

I *did* buy these two back in the day (much saving up of pennies back then):

Edited to say: I bought these when Foyles were in their old shop on Charing Cross Road, with the higgledy-piggledy layout and piles of OOP books they probably didn't even know they had. Their new shop is just a sterile generic bookshop with all the fun of browsing taken away...

I remember the old Foyles well...it was still like that in the late 80s!

Now you've done it.

Impossible

Only if it doesn't have pineapple on it.

 

[Reynard]

Decent night's sleep, but feel really

Ah well, no matter. I have cut back a swathe of parsley that was running to seed and I have cleaned the grate in preparation for the sweep's visit tomorrow.

Have errands to run this afternoon, but not sure if I can face any lunch.

You, sir, outclass me by some margin in the mixed-up-ancestry stakes...

I'm with you there on the brown sauce. It's the sauce-of-last-resort here. I'll only have brown sauce if there really is no other option available.

Ketchup is ok. I have it in as it's an essential ingredient in sweet and sour sauce.

It was still like that in the late 90s. I loved going for a rummage and browse. It wasn't just that I bought most of my Uni text books there...

In the early 2000s they stopped selling secondhand and OOP books and I pretty well much stopped going there - by then, Chaters was my bookshop of preference.
