Forgot how lovely blood oranges are.

House is cold this morning, 16 degrees, butter is hard to spread at those temps.

Reminds me of when I first learned to ride, it was the mid1950's and I would have been 5 or 6. he sat me on the bike and said "you turn the pedals to make it go, pull on the brake lever to stop it, I'll hold the back of the saddle and you pedal" I looked round a short time later and he was watching from the top of the road and I was on my own. I'd learnt how to ride a bike.

I remember a similar situation. But can you remember the next step ?

I'd have said don't spend it all at once...

Can you buy one leg at a time ?

Morning.
Sorry being late this morning. Schrodie demanded big cuddles .

Learning to start off unaided.

Yuk, sorry animals in people's beds just makes me shudder

That must have been the difficult bit and must have resulted in numerous crashes before being successful.
It's funny how we don't remember the next stage .

I've got a piece of crud in my camera lens. Nothing will shift it.

Too cold to spread butter easily, its mildly cold to be wearing just a dressing gown...but about normal. Heatings on now but only because the grandkids are coming for the weekend. 18 degrees is nice., 16 degrees is doable when you're dressed.

My mum taught me to ride a bike, an old solid tyre thing I got for my sixth or seventh birthday from Portobello Road. This is ironic because she’d never ridden a bike in her life.

The whole house is perfumed with orange...

Just cooking the fruit tonight, will make the marmalade with it tomorrow.

Quite like marmalade, just don't like oranges.

Don't bother. Filthy things, and give one awful wind.

The Jerusalem bit is a corruption of 'Girasol' - French for sunflower.. They have similarly tall yellow flowers in the summer..

Now Globe artichokes..
They're a whole next level of yumminess.

I like Jerusalem artichokes as I have the less nobbly kind which are easy to just scrub up or peel. The problem is keeping them under control as they spread everywhere and are a pita unless contained. Mine are not contained and it is a constant battle.
