Just got a puncture whilst on the bike.

Thing is, it was on rollers. How does that work? Had to climb 400 steps to make up for the lost time.

The accordion playing has ceased. There was a tractor in the field at the bottom of the garden too,

It comes to something when the noisiest neighbours (apart from the chickens) is the local old people's home when the accordion group comes to do a show for the residents..

Mmmmm, it could've been an Oompah band...

To start with l am parboiling some fairly thinly sliced potatoes, then l am going to cover them in a mix of crème fraiche and left over crème entière, grated liberally , even generously with the black gold dust

Mmm, that sounds lovely

Some nice cheese wouldn't go amiss on that too.

Anyways, time to put the painting away.

A certain pair of furry someones are pointedly reminding me that it's food time.

Gourmet gold for them, veggie curry, pilau rice, mint raita and poppadoms for me.

I'm not sure we're in Oompah Country.

Chased a little hedgehog down a trail today, first time I've ever seen one in the wild in the middle of the day, thought it was a rat until I got closer & it didn't have a tail.

Short version...
Yay, Halfords have my bike chain ready to collect.
Nooo...they cant find it.

Long version...
Got my email, my click and collect bike chain is in. I'll cyc,e down and get it.
6 miles ride, arrive to a queue to get in. Queued for maybe 20 mins, because I want bike parts I had to wait while others could go In for car related stuff, quicker turnaround i guess. No problem, it's for the best.
One guy walked in , smiled and said...blimey, youre not having much luck. No problem was my answer, I'm chilled.
Made it in to join another short queue in the bike section. Another 5 or so minutes...yes, my turn. Showed him the email...he went off and came back slightly bemused....sorry, I cant find it.

Ah well, 6 miles back home, at least I got a ride in.

I bet there was also some hot leather trouser action going on in there as well.

Remarkable patience shown there. You obviously have experience of Halfords ways of working.

Did you catch him?

Don't be silly: chickens don't wear leather trousers.

I was aiming for him/her until I realised it wasn't a rat so swerved around him/her
