I must be a freak as I enjoy peanut butter and lemon curd Definitely not marmite though

I like all three. Though not all at the same time.

Hot, humid and blustery here chez Casa Reynard.

Spent the morning potting up tomato plants - been putting them into planters. I have run out of compost, so I shall have to scoot to Wilkinsons later. They shut at 6, so I can wait till it cools a bit before popping out.

I also have washed my face masks.

Almost time for lunch, and then I shall do some stuff on my archive.

Lexi brought me half a bird this morning.

It's good to share.

There's not much meat on two great tit legs, I'm afraid...

It's the thought that counts. Two drumsticks, not to be scoffed at.

We've lost a load of sunflower plants whilst away last week. Other than that, the rest have done fine in the greenhouse. Must get planting out as I have two trays of flowers that have done well. Just done a quick 15 lumpy miles on the road bike, makes a nice change not having to stop every few hundred yards for pedestrians on the shared paths when on the MTB. Carefully selected route to avoid the busiest of roads.

Yes, I should have known really as I never have butter unless it’s an integral ingredient in a dish (rather than spreading it on bread )

In my defence, I thought the ‘butter’ part was just a name…

Of course you are correct , there is no butter of the dairy variety in peanut "butter" , just peanuts ground into a paste and then if you like asian food , (and who in their right mind doesn't) turned into delicious satay sauce !!

I've just been to collect a Dawes Galaxy from a lovely lady. It'll be a summer project to get it all back working again:

Can I just mention, at the risk of being ostracised, banned, expelled, thrown out, blackballed, shunned, cast out or banished, that I hate peanut butter..

🤮

I stand in solidarity with you.

Have spent whole the afternoon trying to work out why my scanner and laptop aren't talking to each other. It's not what I need right now, as I have a stack of documents that need to be digitized.

I've done all the logical things like rebooting stuff and checking cable ends are clean, properly seated etc. It's not the USB ports either, because the printer works fine regardless of which one I connect to (there are 3 ports). I've not added any software recently to the laptop, so there shouldn't be any conflicts, and I've not done anything daft like inadvertently delete the drivers.

Unless there's something else I haven't thought of, either the USB cable is fubared, or it's the scanner itself. Other than a line where there's dirt on the scan head, it was working perfectly well the last time I used it.

Aaaaargh!!!
