Lovely luncheon. Two slices of wholemeal toast, one with ham & mustard, one with Camembert, plus a banana, an orange and the obligatory two

It was by the front door, next to the doormat.

That's how I know who has bumped something off. Lexi removes the head, Poppy doesn't.

When Covid lockdowns began the extroverts howled about being expected to live like introverts for a while.

Now it's over this has not, alas, caused any reflection on the way in "normal" life introverts are expected to act like extroverts...

I've often thought about this. I'm not sure that I want to go back to normal. I had come to enjoy the peace, quiet and solitude and and have actually felt happier and more at peace than ever before. No it is all ending and normality is returning and I don't like it!

Hopefully the work in the office thing will only be temporary or part time.

I'm much the same @tyred and @Andy in Germany

I’m sure you will Watch out for late frosts .Several years ago I lost a whole row of beans to frost. I will keep mine in the cold frame till May

Forecast is cold tonight and then getting warmer. Since it is only beans going in they should be ok as will take a while to appear.
I used to have everything out by early may in the past as we went to Shetland for most of May and June. Jungle when we got back home.

I'll have you know that that road was just recently re-surfaced in 1963...

@oldwheels - I could do without the rain.

Our weekend plans have changed; Saturday it's back to Hull for a repeat of an E123 race (hopefully I'm not needed to make up the numbers) and then the 100 mile GHS '100 (miles) in 8 (hours)' ride on Sunday. In our case the 100 means Dewsbury-Pocklington-Dewsbury, starting at 9am and returning by 5pm to get the certificate with proceeds funding their youth TT series.

Best to not let the dog get there first, chocolate is harmful to them.

So we're told*, but you still need to beat them.

*My grandparents dog showed no evidence of it being detrimental and our previous dog once ate a whole Easter egg & sadly survived unscathed, even by the curses.

Gone cross-eyed looking at watch listings on the 'bay this evening. Not much choice when it comes to ladies' automatics that come under budget. There's the Gradus, a Citizen and a rather tatty Seiko...

Charity shops sometimes have decent watches for sale.

At the prices they ask in charity shops around here, you may as well go and buy a new one from a jeweller...
