The square bales aren't as comfortable as the old fashioned trams/reeks or the newer round bales.

If it wasn't baled by a New Holland 276 it's no good.

Had good hunting in Tesco this evening. There wasn't that much on YS in terms of quantity, but some really decent bits to be had.

Came home with salmon, hake, prawns, some steak trimmings off the counter*, cooked sliced chicken, cooked turkey & stuffing, a large tub of coronation chicken, spinach, green beans, mushrooms, baby corn, avocadoes, breakfast cereal, crisps, bread and two bakewell tarts from the bakery.

Best buy was the salmon - paid £2.25 for three quarters of a kilo. Will make gravadlax with some of that.

Also treated myself to some jelly and a mug with cats on it.

Oops, meant to say...

* the steak trimmings are for a certain pair of furry madams... They might enjoy some of the sliced chicken as well.

Isn't it lovely when you get a message from a Bay of E seller thanking you for a prompt payment.

Bought myself a lovely locket made by James Main earlier today. The lockets turned out by this particular silversmith tend to be quite ornate, but I spotted one with a simple acanthus leaf etching just along one edge that was very much to my taste. The inside is mint, with the glasses and bezels all present and correct. A nice addition to my little selection, I think I'll enjoy wearing it.

I appear to be almost awake. Almost packed and almost ready. This is what happens when you go to bed before 10pm on a Saturday night.

The milk I put in my tea is just on the turn. It'll have to be a coffee next because the other milk's in the freezer.

I`ve been up for ages after a rotten sleep. The plan was to get up early to go out on the bike at first light. I certainly achieved the getting up early part! On my second brew. I`ve replaced the water bottle for a small flask and the cycling shorts are staying in the drawer where they live. Possibly hibernating for winter! I`m also going for regular sports socks as opposed to the trainer socks which give very little in the way of thermal quality around the ankle

Just about to go and stretch my legs by doing a few miles .
Which bike is a decision 😀 to be made yet

Ah! But you can't make things like you could with the old rectangular bales .

@deptfordmarmoset If you see a young lady with a packet of seeds when you get to Leeds, the limerick isn't necessarily true..

Morning.
It seems dry out this morning. It is grey so there could be a chance of the wet stuff again .
I was just thinking about these peeps running a marathon today. For one thing I couldn't run that distance. I'm a short burst type runner even 60yds is too far . How do they occupy their minds ? Mine would end up having an argument ! There would be an enquiry into who was responsible for the bright idea! Parts of my body would also start complaining . My eyes would be relaying encouraging news like " We are no closer to that distant object since we set off an hour ago ! Why don't they catch a bus ?

I have now stopped airing the apartment.
