Supper tonight is a cheese, onion, leek and spinach pie. All assorted bits all prepped, just need to throw it all together and pop it in the oven when I get back from Tesco later.

It were supposed to be pastry parcels, but half my filo pastry had gone t**s up, so I will just put the filling into a pie dish and scrunch the rest of the filo on top.
 
Today's theme in the photo challenge is "Happiness". Well, losing myself in an art project makes me happy, and this is especially true of my latest project...

Wondering why, if 'the supply chains are flowing' as well as they claim, the supermarket shelves remain devoid of bread flour?
Shop upwards. I quit going to Kroger, as it had all sorts of shortages, and went to Jewel instead. In the States, the more expensive, regional super-markets have things like bread and t.p., the bigger national chains do not. Except for Aldi. No troubles there, as far as I see. Fresh seafood, in the Midwest, iscurrently limited to cod, salmon, shrimp, and catfish or tilapia. Of those, I will only eat cod or pollock, which is always frozen in these parts

I managed to get a ride in this morning, 56 miles, spoilt by 2 punctures, thats about as many punctures as I get in a year most times, I finished the ride by riding in from Balsall Common across Coventry home on a flat back tyre.

I tried to have a nap earlier but a delivery man arrived with 2 cases of North Brewing beer. I'm going to have another nap now.

Well done dave r. Mrs P won't let me go out. She says quite rightly what if you have an accident. They have enough on their plates at the moment. So we went out for a walk locally together. My reward was a mint choc magnom ice cream,well worth it.
 
I've been outside doing a bit of head scratching and then hacksawing and then drilling some steel angle iron to make an extractor / puller to remove a blade adaptor from a petrol lawn mower engine . It worked! I managed to fit the damaged one with the drive pulley on . It now needs two holes drilled into it where the previous locating pins snapped off .
I don't like the idea of a direct drive from the crankshaft to the cutting blade as our mower's crankshaft bent when the blade hit a hard object burried in the grass . A rubber cush drive might have stopped the crankshaft from being bent .

They can be running fine but if demand is out stripping max supply capability you’ll still end up with empty shelves.
There has to more to it than that, there has logically got to be more flour in the system than there was this time last year, just think of all the restaurants, cafes, bakeries etc. not needing it, yet it's still a very scarce commodity a month on.
