Both ours and next doors front lawns given a cut

I cut mine today. Next door bohemian types have elected to mow paths around their plot.
I wished them luck with the biting fly population, all in vernacular English followed by chortling as I left them.

I used the time productively. Wrote myself up a business plan! I can summarise it as follows:

1. Authoritatively seize scalable human capital
2. Maximise equity invested e-markets
3. Assertively syndicate process-centric benefits
4. Leverage bricks-and-clicks expertise
5. Synergize holistic paradigms
6. Engage back end process improvements

Have a go yourselves ... Corporate bullsh1t generator

I used to meet with people who spoke such lingo* fluently.
*Fluid word that can be spelt in different ways, often expressed on public forums with a row of asterisk.

What are we feeding our kids documentary

I remember the strange reaction by some parents to Jamie Olivers attempts to improve school dinners.
Mums brought the foods they really wanted and handed them over at lunchtime.
It was sad, none of the subtext for this was explored in the follow up programme. I guess at some of the reasons.

I’ve just washed my recumbent and it’s started a light rain shower. This isn’t really mundane news, me washing a bike. It might be on headlines at ten o’clock news , together with blue moons and flying pigs. But anyway bike all clean for now.

You will have a dazzle in your eye when you next call on its services King.

I couldn't find this thread and couldn't work out where it had gone. Discovered I had accidentally put it on ignore!

Phew, thank goodness the site's back up. I was almost driven to doing something useful.

Sorry about that - I unplugged it to do the vacuuming.

Lovely couple of days off work - bit of bike fettling, bit of housework, got the grass cut, even went out for a bike ride in shorts for only the second time this year.

Just wondering how busy Felixstowe seafront will be this weekend if the weather is as good as promised - I may have to change the commuting route to avoid it in the afternoon.

I collected my Peugeot, now complete with nice new clutch.

Back to driving without a nanny computer to put stupid flashing lights and bleeps on if I set a box on the seat

Fabby supper of baked salmon*, new potatoes with a garlic, dill & lemon butter, and a tomato & beetroot salad. And raspberries for afters. The world is a very good place right now.

I baked half the side of salmon I picked up on YS in a parcel. The other half is in the fridge awaiting its coat of salt, pepper, sugar, dill and spices in the morning. (I forgot to bring the weights in from the utility room earlier and couldn't be arsed to go back out and get them.)

There is some overlap with this documentary. One of the things that came out of it was that because junk food has been made to be so pleasurable (!) to eat, it acts on the same part of the brain that reacts to addictive substances such as alcohol and cigarettes etc. So the more you eat it, the more you want to eat it. I found that quite sobering, I must admit.

The mouthful of porage I just ate was a tad hotter than I was expecting 🔥

Went to Scunthorpe for track racing. It rained just before the warm-up and no amount of attempts would dry the track.

Kona Paddy Wagon arrived, chipped due to poor packing. I've put it together.
