On the train on my way home. Thinking about a G&T.

Tomorrow is another London day.

Just thinking ?

Marks and Sparks do a very nice G&T in a can. Good enough to get you home.

@Illaveago A bit late but I eventually found it on the old computer ......circa 1980-1995

A Dunnock (also known as tree sparrow but I prefer his other name)

I was going to be too early to work today as it was a late start (training course) so I went the long way round to get there! It was nice in the sunshine until my mudguard started rattling! Of course the bolt fell out literally 30 seconds before I went to remove it and was lost! The rest of the journey was low speed searching out every smooth bit of tarmac!

The eldest has achieved something I never did.

Looks very nice, I prefer the blue to the orange. I may try and get mine going at some point, it was bought as a donor for parts for my Carlton.

I just went out for a sunset bike ride along the river. Astonished to see that they've actually improved bits of it. Back via my nearest proper pub, the landlady and landlord have retired for the second time (of course, this doesn't mean they're not there) and they've painted it red, a rich, dark red outside. They've also installed a wall of beer - kegs stacked to the roof - ready for a St Patrick's day beer festival next weekend. Over 20 Irish ales. I'm going to have to ask @tyred for recommendations on this one.

Reginald D Hunter, all new material, most of it never said in public before. Very dark in places, very rough in others, but mostly a very smart guy.

Must have been WW3 outside my front door during the night. Woke up to clouds of cream and tabby and white fur on the drive. Suspect it's the entire cream boy from one of the local feral colonies and Bruno, my neighbour's cat. The objects of their amorous intentions were firmly tucked up in bed with me.

This afternoon, I let myself out with bike to go for a ride, only to be faced with the sight of a very irate Lexi giving the cream boy (who is twice her size) a right old what for, drumming him firmly and unceremoniously out of the garden.

Must see if I can trap this guy and get him de-nutted. Couldn't catch him last year...

I bought a used gas strimmer today, finally, before prices go up with the advent of spring.

I just found out that my recent snack of tinned anchovies and mayonnaise and completely used up my healthy daily allowance of salt.

Guess who told me?

Is there an Anchovy Clinic?

If you laugh, you're a very bad person. If you don't you're probably dead.

I'm not a huge beer drinker to be honest. I've always preferred cider so no expert.

Kilkenny or Caffreys would be my pick. Smithwicks is the traditional choice in rural areas. Try Murphy's stout - much nicer than Guinness.

But Orchard Thieves cider is nicer than any of them

You also need a packet of Tayto crisps to go along with it

I sprained my ankle yesterday. It bl**dy hurt....
And it still bl**dy hurts today, but at least it's more colourful now.
