The strap on my watch has just fallen to pieces.

That's actually pretty close to what I do, except I do it by eye and by taste and maybe use a little less tahini. The one ingredient missing in the above is ground cumin. Oh, and I use bottled lemon juice.

The beauty of this is that you can adjust the seasonings to taste.

Will give it a go as soon as I've used up the last of the pre-made stuff.

Cool.

P.S. Tesco stock tahini. Keeps shelf jumping in my local one - sometimes it's with the seasonings, other times it's in the world foods aisle, and I've also found it in with the antipasti-in-a-jar type stuff.

Aaargh. I should have a spare watch strap somewhere. Well, it's still attached to a watch. But that watch has a broken mainspring, and isn't worth throwing money at. Of course, I can't find the damn thing right now.

Time to bank the fire for the night and trot off upstairs to bed.

Good morning from a damp and drizzly Suffolk. Looks like I'm going to make the target of being out of the house by 07:00. Coffee is currently being had, but only a small one as the drive ahead is at least 2.5 hours.

We have these things called "mirrors".

Also, I was taught that you look first, then reverse, to avoid exactly this scenario.

I checked behind before reversing a big van once. It was a good job because there was a car parked right behind it. The van was a BMC Every ready van, it was a bit like an old phone box as once you were inside you forgot where the doors were. They were behind you. The mirrors showed nothing behind me. I would have reversed straight into it.

Morning. Milky sunshine here. It was brighter earlier on.
Georgie is in a funny mood. After he had his breakfast he followed me up to bed. He wouldn't leave me and kept jumping down to follow me as I went to get a book to read. I stopped to stroke him and said that I was just going to get a book but kept following me. After enough strokes he waited on the bed until I got in and had more strokes. He finally he went to the bottom of the bed to have a wash. This tired him out and he is now nodding off.

BA flight seats chosen and confirmed, both ways, relief flowing over me as Mrs is pleased to be next to the window.

It is raining.

Back after 25 gentle miles
Damp underfoot after last night's torrential rain.
No rain now just very moist in the air and misty in places.
