If you were all wondering what that demented banging was earlier, I've been making schnitzel. Being let loose with a few slabs of pig and a meat tenderizer is... therapeutic.

Had some schnitzel for supper, along with a jacket potato, coleslaw and steamed green beans.

Although it's my day off work, I had to take part in a Teams meeting. I made sure the camera was covered so they couldn't see that I was in my dressing gown.

I'd only got back from a quick 50 mile ride 15 minutes beforehand so no time for a shower - off with the sweaty lycra, quick towel down and on with the robe.

It was raining sand on Tuesday; I had sand all over my clothes and my bike when I got back from work. Yesterday the (tarmacked) cycleways had tracks in the sand and the roads had clear lanes where cars had cleaned the surface.

An unintended consequence of riding in sandy drizzle...

Top christian values on display eh?

Quite.

I shall be spending the weekend in a guards van.

My dad was a fireman, on the head end. I think I was the only one who rode a caboose (or guard or brake van) in the family, while working with the yard gang.

nursing my 3rd glass of red wine after having 2nds of lunch:

• baby spinach salad w/ cranberries
• lasagna
• angle hair pasta w/ chicken tomato & artichoke w/ a garlic butter sauce
• chicken parm,
• curly Cavatappi pasta w/ marinara

yes, I had everything twice (in small amounts). at least I stayed away from the bread, eh?

Sounds great. Mrs. GA is picking up hoagies. For tomorrow I made veggie burgers for my lunch, and then a flounder for dinner.

 

[Reynard]

Bed sounds like a good prospect right now.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Ah the Yanks and Irish descent. Even if it's many many generations ago, they are Irish. My grandfather's parents were Irish, and if I was American I'd be 200% Irish,

I had an uncle by marriage - he married my mother's adopted sister - who was Irish and when I worked with lots of Americans, one day I mentioned my uncle Paddy in passing conversation and some Yank said to me, oh, you're Irish like me then! I responded no I'm not, I'm English, and neither are you Irish, you're American. I was working in the Middle East at the time, and his ardent - and continuous - claims to be 'Irish' annoyed the Irish staff, because Americans got paid the most, and us Europeans, Aussies etc, including the Irish. were paid significantly less.

I wonder how much sand we've inhaled?

The sea gulls are very loud this morning.

My phone just served up some Monday posts that I'd missed. I had a puzzling moment of thinking that I'd lost an entire weekend...

Don't panic, it's only Saturday.

What a glorious start to the day outside
Bright blue sky grass looks moist but not frosty.
Granddaughter still snoozing.

 

[biggs682]

First cuppa went down well
Granddaughter awake now and waffling well

Is that a new form of cheap travel ?
