If you replace the sausages in toad in the hole with meatballs what do you call it?

Damn, lost to the 'cold' I was developing last week. Thought I'd kept it away with lots of fruit and vitamins, but was feeling decidedly ropey on yesterday's MTB ride with the lads (and our hangovers), but had a shocking night last night and off work today. Just stayed in bed dosed up on co-codamol.

So it was you,i am feeling cold and shivery,done nothing at all today.Crap throat.Got a busy day tomorrow and Weds i hope i have more energy.Thursday i should be starting to paint the kitchen.Looking forward to that NOT.

I was just looking in one of my diaries and noticed my mileage records . In 2017 the total was 142. In 2018 it was 404 and so far this year it is 620.
I know it's not much, but it shows an improvement in my health and not as many visits from the fairies .

I have bought a hot water bottle and a tube of anchovy paste.

And it is now again.

I don't want any more rain. When things get squelchy, I'm knee deeper than everyone else...

Put my green recycling bin out for collection. Not bothered with black bag, there's hardly anything in it.

How come? Knees are roughly halfway up your legs regardless of length of the legs.

Well, I'm built on a slightly smaller scale than everyone else

I feel your pain. This was one reason for the MTB rebuild: I'm better suited to a frame with 26" wheels than 28".

Also, one advantage of a Japanese Wife: when I get clothes in Japan they fit first time.

29" wheels way too big then.

Unless I'm building a penny-farthing...

I've been away for the weekend, and we appear to be getting another cat - that will be 5. Not sure how long our eldest cat will last, but the breeder has had another litter of Ragdolls, so my wife and daughter have picked the only 'girl' to even the score up (2 young males, a young female, and an older female). The two lads 'boss' each other about, so might not be wise with another.

So that's another white Raggie coming this way.

ooh hoo I got an answer right on Lunyversity Challenge. The question was about a painting entitled Le Bercseau, and what was the English name for the painting, which I knew was The Cradle. 🦉 Also identified a Pine Martin.

Oh yeah, tell me about it... Clothes shopping is such a pain, because (inevitably) sleeves and legs are too long. Although having dropped four clothes sizes since 2014, it's not quite so bad, as the smaller sizes are more in proportion if you see what I mean...

If it's not a colourpoint, then it's a Ragamuffin, not a Ragdoll...
