Anyways, a fine lunch of Dickinsons & Morris pork pie, a tangerine, half an avocado, some blueberries and two :cuppa:

I have just peeled potatoes and hung up the laundry.

The new potato peeler I bought the other week works very well, but it's designed for hands much larger than mine. As a result, I have also peeled part of my right thumb.

Had a long lie in today, sat around watching some tv and looked at some stuff on the tinterweb. MrsC was out at the daughters, who is much improved after covid hit her. I went out and did 20 miles in lovely sunshine and when I got home MrsC had the audacity to force me to sit down, made me a cuppa :cuppa:and heated up some soup ;)
Life doesn`t get much better^_^

Waheyyyyy! I have a working mower again! :girldance:

Although I do have to sort out the cutting deck adjustment, and there's a bloody annoying rattle coming from the drive belt guide where I got the spanner stuck on. It's a bit like adjusting cup and cone bearings - it's something that needs to move freely, but can't be either too tight or too loose...
You get all the grass and weeds out of the vertical drives shafts?

You peel potatoes? I am astonished. All the vitamins etc are just under the skin and you lose them by peeling. I have not peeled potatoes for years. A scrub with a stiff brush is all that is required.^_^

Potatoes and butternut squash are both wonderful unpeeled, roasted and both are good with most things ;)
And if you get enough vitamins anyway it doesn`t matter when you consider time saved on that peeling mullarkey!
