Not a big fan of them. Feels like eating my own brain. Not sure about the taste but size fits.

Just remember peanuts are more like beans than nuts.

I am hiding from the rain in the allotment shed⛈

That's very localised rain.

Thunder's gone, lightning's forked off somewhere but the rain @tyred ordered has been delivered to the wrong address. It was a bulk consignment that's still being delivered.

And I'm having a glass of red wine because it's wine o'clock.

Oh! On my ride today I passed my local recycling centre / fly tip,where I sometimes find bargains . Today I thought I noticed some fence panels so I went back to have a look . It turned out to be a wooden garden shed in flat pack form . From what I could see it didn't look to be in too bad condition . Why didn't they sell it ?
If anyone wants some white plastic garden chairs possibly 4 there were some dumped in the lane . I did my bit of cleaning up, I brought back a pair of secateurs that had been dumped. It was about as much as I could carry back on my bike .

So are we going to get some rain tomorrow ?

No.

I'm meditating on that, ohm, ohm...

Wait a mho.

Made a butternut squash and spinach curry. I added mushrooms for an added treat
It`s simmering but almost ready, so as it`s an entirely new recipe to this newly diagnosed Diabetic I can hardly wait to try it
If it`s half as good as my spicy korean tofu dish I`ll be more than happy

I am perusing books on the Bay of E.

Since this COVID thing the price of books has hit the roof! Second hand books are almost the same as brand new on ebay!
Me and Mrs C just keep re-reading old favourites I`m a bit gutted really because most of my Terry Pratchetts (full set) are in France! There are just a few tatty old copies left. Mrs C is reading some weird and scary Hans Christian Anderson.

I tend to hide under the covers or behind the settee
Especially if it`s that really fine rain that gets you really wet.... scary stuff!

I make a banging sweet potato, parsnip and chick pea tikka masala. The recipe is on this thread... somewhere...

Ah, I'm looking for a book on painting techniques by a particular author. I used to borrow it from the local library, but it vanished from their catalogue and ergo I want my own copy. I've found what I want (Alwyn Crawshaw's Ultimate Painting Course) at a price I'm prepared to pay.

Funny, I'm reading a lot LESS than I used to, but that's in part because I'm not using public transport. I'm currently working my way through Jack Chalker's Well World saga, as well as Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan books.

I'm not happy. We were promised a day of heavy showers & thunderstorms so, after a quick bottle bank & shopping ride this morning, I settled in for an afternoon of bike fettling in the dry of my shed.

It was a lovely warm & sunny afternoon.

What's a "quike bottle bank", and how does it differ from a bottle bank.
