Well that's another pair of boxers i have had to bin this year as they have self destructed after being worn on a regular basis over 15 years
On a different note first cuppa went down well .
I was reminded last night that it's a bank holiday weekend

Sunny by the sea. I too only found out about the bank holiday yesterday. As it is the Sweeps festival in Rochester I shall try for a photo of my bike in front of Morris dancers.

Very true loads more bikes out there require re homing

Yes, they are. And tbh, once it's all cooked, it's hard to tell the difference between the lentils and the beef.

I love lentils, beans and chickpeas, and do use a lot of them in cooking. Veggie curry on the agenda for later in the week, as I've a butternut squash and some sweet potatoes that are looking a bit tired.

Speaking of, I picked up a packet of naan wraps on YS as well, so those will go well with the curry.

Was it lentils or split peas that they glued on to a Spitfire to see how many domed rivets they could use before affecting it's performance ?

I have just potentially missed out on a cheap spare derailleur because the Ebay app on my phone refused to show the 'confirm bid' page

Annoying isn't it ! I sympathize !

Sounds like the kind of person those meat + veg sausages are aimed at. That's also a sneaky way to get veg into picky eaters.

Fortunately for me, neither I nor mum have a problem with shovelling veg down the hatch.

Aren't sausages mainly bread with a little bit of meat thrown in as flavouring anyway?

Got some sad news !
My wife found 3 young birds dead on our paths . Georgie was playing with a dead fledgling but we don't think he had enough time to get all 3 as he was locked in all night .

It is called "rusk" in sausages and not bread or so a butcher told me many years ago.

Nice sunny day again but problems on problems.
My ferry booking is cancelled as the ferry is not on due to so many crew having covid. After about half an hour I managed to get on the 1555 if it is sailing. No other sailing available for the next couple of days due to yet another holiday weekend.
Tried the number given to rebook and got fed up listening to Calmac explaining that BBC Scotland were talking rubbish and you could indeed sail to Arran. They sent a reporter to Ardrossan to report on the no ferries problem and while the reporter was live on air a ferry from Arran very clearly arrived behind her.
They also caused a fuel shortage on Arran by reporting a fuel shortage so everyone rushed out to panic buy thus causing a fuel shortage.

They are unless you pay a quid per sausage.
