A steam engine just went through Crewe. On the railcam. Always nice to see.

Couldn't hear it from here.

In other news, picked my son up from KwicFit & brought him home after leaving his wife's car for repair.

And puddles taste so much better than water from the bowl.

Walking off the lead along the nearby trail Cassie goes from tuft to tuft of grass, cropping as she goes. A meadow would suit her fine.

I'm mainly veggie but I do love liver - ox liver, casseroled or lamb/calves' liver, lightly grilled. When I had cats I used to buy a frozen chicken livers very cheaply and fry them up for a treat - for them, and for me. They'd be sitting round my feet as I stood at the hob, livers sizzling, and working on the principle of 'one for Kitty, one for me, one for Poppy, one for me, one for Tiger, one for me ...' the entire pot was soon empty!

Chicken liver & bacon, anyone's mouth not watering?

Lovely day today, bright, sunny and with a hint of frost early this morning on my walk. Hope it continues like this as I have the next two days off

I'm not awfully fond of offal and tend to get my dose of iron from pulses and nuts. Bacon passes the saliva test though.

It's raining !
I hadn't noticed it as it is coming straight down and isn't landing on our windows .

The sky here is a bit orange. Given there's a lot of rain forecast today, I think the sky has issued its own amber alert.

Made it with about 40 minutes to go before I have to leave, if you see what I mean.

Also remembered that my longtail is a bit slower than the commuter but not excessively so, and it's incredibly comfortable...

A one off result isn't really conclusive proof though. You'd have to repeat the experiment and see if you get similar results.

Fighting with that Spawn of Satan: Excel.

I've long known the only survival method is to save every two minutes so when it does something strange I can close it without losing too much work, but today it and locked me into the programme because there was an "incorrect formula".

The "help" function didn't, because it told me how to "avoid this happening again". As the programme had spontaneously decided to insert the formula in the first place this was of limited use. It also was silent on how to get out of the "formula" setting.

Eventually I reset the computer. Fortunately I'd saved the spreadsheet a few seconds before it went weird...

I've ridden my longtail repeatedly and it's always been comfortable.
