Oh, and I've discovered which of the girls' new obsession is pulling stuff out of the bathroom bin and dragging it around the house.

I caught Lexi red-pawed last night after an evening spent chasing hair, tissues and some items best not mentioned in polite company.

The little tinker!!!

Lunch was rather good. Fish chips and peas. Stuffed now.

Bit shocked to see five nurses all having lunch together in a T3 area, working lunch it wasn't.

Had a cheese a chicken melt on door stopper crusty bread. Now waiting for green tea to cool.

My holiday ends tomorrow morning

You should have heard the racket going on at our bird feeders a little while ago ! I was busy doing some bike repairs and looked up to see a flock of Goldfinches having a right Barney . Fights breaking out and a lot of raspberry blowing as the birds fought for places at the feeders . Even the Sparrows got raspberries blown at them if they tried to move in .

Car passed its MOT, went foraging (successfully) for quinces and medlars while I waited, and bought a lovely big savoy cabbage from a chap in the village who sells organic veg.

Only three advisories, which isn't at all bad for a car on a 52-plate. I have a rusty exhaust bracket, there's some weird goo in the headlight units and the front brake pads could do with replacing.

I had today off work and had about a five mile walk this morning with a stop in the bookshop for a browse. Looking around bookshops is one of the few times I do enjoy shopping and first time I've indulged in quite a while but it's not much fun these days as my glasses kept steaming up due to the mask and I can't really see anything without them. Went for afternoon ride on the fixed wheel Raleigh, managed to fit a decent distance inside my 5KM box. It is so stupid.
Made meatballs in a tomato sauce with spaghetti for dinner, washed down with a bottle of Guinness.

Feeling chuffed. Bought a 2nd hand uninterruptible power supply off ebay which failed to work properly. I told them & they replaced it, minus battery. Dismantled faulty unit, which they didn't want returned, found the fault, fixed it and now it is working. A while since I've taken on such a thing.

And I managed to make 6 lasagnas and some pastry for steam puddings to fill tomorrow.

I suppose I really should do the dishes.

You ignoring yours too?

I've played chauffeur to my wife and daughter today. Just changed the tyres on the Fuji and exploded an inner tube. Because I was doing it in the house, my hearing went wonky (technical term) for a few minutes. Mudguards on too and adjusted to sit correctly - I need longer mudguards though as the ones I have are not full.

Lovely supper tonight of mushroom omelette (made with eggs from a friend's chooks), roasted baby plum tomatoes and a big pile of parmentier potaoes - that's square chips to you and me. Oh, and a nice to wash it all down with.

What is the car ?
