don't remember if I shared these here yet. cpl weeks ago I hung my sportcam from a kite & took a walk on the beach. I have a better sharper image of the lighthouse, w/ less distortion, but I like this one cuz it also shows where we can drive the Jeep. I don't often get this oversand permit

it was a little tricky getting the kite over the shipwreck due to the wind direction

another reason I like this beach is cuz sometimes you can see whales from the beach

not sure of the species, maybe a "finback"?

Had a lovely lunch. One slice to toast with cheddar, one slice of toast with the very last of the previous batch of cured salmon, a banana, a satsuma, some grapes and two

Going to tootle off and water some things in the garden.

it's finally time to start the Elephant Ear palm tubers. we normally bring the (4-5) whole plants in to over-winter in the house but there were so many & they were getting so big. Son has 1, we kept a big one in our loft bedroom under the skylight & the monster is in our living room (the monster is not an Elephant Ear). so anyways ... last October I decided to try something new! I cut all the veggies off the 2? & wound up with a lot of "tubers". stored them in the basement & now I get to play with a "soil-less potting mixture" & try to start these so I can plant them outside in May

I had to drive into Sheffield today. West side of the city to collect a cycling jersey for my daughter, city centre for one for my son, east side of the city to pay a cheque into the bank.

It’s been a while since I’ve been into the city on a weekday.

Now I remember why I don’t.

Well! I went over to Melksham to collect my new track rod end . Fitted it having counted the same number of turns back . Jacked up the rear of the car and swapped the front wheels for the rears . I have booked it in for a retest tomorrow morning .
I think I deserve a rest now .

Well. My sit in the garden turned into a 2 mile walk to buy some marshmallows and suggestive biskits to make Smores, with granddaughter, over the fire thingie this evening 🔥

I ended up having a bit of a girly pamper session. Especially since it's now warm enough to finally think about shorts, some aesthetic details also had to be attended to.

I nicked myself on my right ankle.

Anyways, I now have a and a slice of coffee & chocolate cake.

At Tameside this evening for another race - this time it's a 2/3/4. Sun's out and it's warm.

But then we missed doing this in a year of nothing.

Smores? What are they? If they involve digestives and fires I want to hear more.
