That’s a bit rubbish. Hope they can replace it swiftly and with minimum hassle.I ordered a watch, with a package arriving this morning.
Having opened the box this afternoon it had been badly taped-up, with an empty watch box inside and no watch
Now on the phone to Skagen / Fossil and we'll see if they can track it through UPS, who were the delivery company.

Cake forks are my all time favourite eating utensil. They are harbingers of joy.Vanilla or cream slices...
Twist the top layer off and put it upside down on the plate. Then take a cake fork and eat the bottom layer. Set the cake fork aside, pick up the top layer with your fingers and scarf it.
Maybe I should see the results of letting you lot loose on my giant profiteroles...

Ouch. I think I’d say bruising but worth keeping an eye on.

A lot of food items are better the second day. Soup is just one example and most meat also "matures " overnight.Had a chicken, bacon & sweetcorn sandwich (wholemeal bread) for luncheon, along with a banana, a pear and two
@Grant Fondo 's beef sandwich sounds good too. Maybe with a dab of mustard or horseradish to go with it... And yeah, there's nowt wrong with leftovers - sometimes they're better than the main event.

Curries are another one...
Speaking of which, it's almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Windy day and one ferry is off this evening for "essential maintenance". It has been in service now for a whole week
.
Saw a slightly unusual combination of herons yesterday in a triangle about 20 yards apart.
No idea where they nest now but there used to be a large heronry down near Fishnish ferry terminal but the birding gestapo must have disapproved of them as the trees were felled and the herons had to shift.
Since they do not carry off sheep and small children they are of no interest to the twitchers.
More tourists arriving at the nearby AirB&B with 2 cars this time to take up our residents parking. The place is already starting to heave and I am beginning to hate mass tourism even more as it restricts my freedom of movement and it is still too cold to go out very early morning.
Strangely it is less cold outside but the house is colder inside with the same heat settings. Wind has a big effect in my exposed area above the main part of town.

Yes. My guess it that it's been opened and re-taped at some point from despatch to delivery.

My meeting with the gardener and his support dog went well today. He will start next week doing some neatening of edges of borders, and weeding. Then alternate weeks for two or three hours.
The dog is extremely well-behaved, just lying on the grass while we were talking. The cats stayed indoors.
I explained that this is a temporary arrangement while my knee recovers, and he was fine with that.

That beef butty was a thing of beauty, white bread, lots of butter, sea salt and pepper. Agree its great with a bit of sauce too, so may go that route tomorrow as some beef leftHad a chicken, bacon & sweetcorn sandwich (wholemeal bread) for luncheon, along with a banana, a pear and two
