Best thing about being home again is a pot of leaf tea. Oh, and a bathroom big enough to move around in, that's pretty good too.

where have you been? a train? a plane? sorry I haven't kept up ...

Right, that's apples bashed for a crumble
Time for Antiques Road Trip!

yum! you actually driving around dumpster diving / barn/estate rummaging? or watching a TV show? I'm fond of the "American Pickers" TV show. but I'm not ultra nationalist, I'd watch anyone going though old barns

I get job postings & so many, if not all, are for remote workers with the chance of hybrid scheduling a day or 2 in the office. I so dislike working from home. I know I just sit in my own little square all day long right now, but at least I get some coffee pot / water cooler chit chat w/ actual face to face humans. also we tried an in office zoom meeting several times. I absolutely detest how I look on a web cam. kept sliding my chair backwards to make myself smaller & smaller

A little beer odyssey up to the city I was born in, Leeds, Yorkshire. My first beer trip in a while.

Ever tried these? l have occasionally . I wouldn't say they work faultlessly but it's a bit of fun for everyone else who don't have a lighted candle stuck in their ear https://www.santediscount.com/otosa...sga3XB2SAT7d_CMYqOEkJxXbSd2HMvihoCM6EQAvD_BwE

Managed to avoid this afternoon's forecast rain, but it's blowing a right hoolie.

Anyways, time for a nice

Well that was a rainy, grey day but just had a lovely dinner of fresh Tuna chunks and roasted vegibles I followed up with my usual yoghurt mix and a cuppa.
Tomorrow is looking much better, weather wise, so after I take my mum (85 this month) for her covid booster jab I`ll be going out on the bike

Received an email from daughter's school today saying one of the kids has Covid, can all in the class have a PCR test. One appointment booked and off we went. Now waiting for the results.

Daughter is a teaching assistant in a special needs school. She caught covid after several of the kids caught it. SIL and Grandson subsequently caught the virus but have recovered well. Daughter got over it and returned to work last week..... but fell ill again and after seeing the doctor has been told she HAS TO take off at least 2 weeks and when she returns it will be on very short hours. Long covid is a pain!

I may have eaten too much... Butternut squash soup, then a bitsas of lamb, egg fried rice and roasted tomatoes, and rarely for me, a dessert. Namely apple crumble and custard.

The apples were bramleys from the garden and some of those russet jobbies I foraged from a hedgerow a couple of weeks ago. They're really sweetened by keeping.

Jury rigged laptop cable went *fzzzzzzzzzt* so the new one has been pressed into service. Laptop threw a wobbly on reboot, but I'm back up and running for the moment. I really do hope this solves the issue, otherwise it will be new laptop time.

So far, the Lenovo 430 is the leading selection. Having a built-in DVD drive is a thumbs up.

I`ve still got a tub of Butternut squash and leek soup in the fridge. I use extra large (1 kg) yoghurt pot to store it. Easily enough for two helpings. I had a load of Asparagus, tomatoes and Kale in the fridge taking up space so I just made some more up I think I`ll take some to my Mum tomorrow.
