Dried banana is crunchy

 

[carpiste]

yesterday I finally made it thru all the work emails that built up after taking 3 days off last week. got 2 more days to take off this week. should be fun when I get back. to quote Carroll O'Connor's character (Marty O'Reilly) in the romcom Return to Me: "I'm blessed to have work"

I`m retired now but I would say, "They were blessed to have me working for them!"
I`m sure they are blessed to have you too! Don`t live to work but work to live

Very fine lunch of two slices of granary toast, one with mortadella, one with gorgonzola, plus a peach, an orange and two

Just letting that lot tamp down a bit, and then I'm going spend some time fettling the mower.

Dried banana is crunchy

Banana chips are crunchy.

Dried banana is dark and leathery and has a wonderful caramel flavour.

I met Jim Belushi (also in that film) once, long, long ago. A truly nice guy.

oh fun! he seems like he would be

Is it as bad as you thought it might be? (Work, that is, not Romcom...)

never is, I can get pretty ramped-up before our season starts. feeling much better today. THANK YOU!

Right, that's the cutting deck disconnected and dropped off the mower. I've pulled it clear and cleaned the top surface. Goodness knows what horrors are lying underneath the cowling. Seized bearings and knackered blades, I reckon - but that's for another day.

Washing up liquid and sugar make for a fabby hand cleaner. It's a Cycle Chat Top Tip.

Anyways, now for a and two shortcake biskits.

Showered and clean clothes.

I think a cup of tea is called for...

When I call for tea, nothing happens. Then I realise I am the only one who lives here and have to get it myself.

I sympathise, as I suffer from a similar lack of domestic staff.

Maybe I could borrow @Reynard's Butler...

Just noticed an advert for Fair Isle Knitwear made in England. Really?
Like the time at a Trade Show I found a stand selling genuine Harris Tweed with the Orb mark made in Yorkshire.
The guy who had the Nike order for Harris Tweed made on Harris happened to have the stand next to us. I passed on the interesting information and he vanished PDQ with a face like thunder.
Next time I passed the offending stand it had Yorkshire tweed but strangely no Harris tweed.
Never underestimate the teuchters as they are probably better travelled and educated than most.
In Wales at the Wales Fair I was told that knitwear produced there had not only to be made in Wales but you had to have the sheep's birth certificate.
Never made it to Fair Isle unfortunately as all flights inward were cancelled due to weather and no guarantee of getting back within at least a week.

Does not surprise me as I had all sorts of chancers when I worked for a living.
