Boak! That’s nearly put me off my lunch.
There's a great talent in here for making connections but this is one of the best.

The sun really does shine on the righteous, especially in Lancashire. I wasn't that keen on riding today but knew my cycle buddy needed to get out.
20 minutes before meet time the sun came out, literally as I walked in to our porch the heavens opened. A tough 28 miles with a biting headwind.

Shortly before the first Covid lock-down, I had gone to the pub to meet one of my drinking pals.
I am 73, my drinking pal is 80.
When I got there, my pal's son (James, a child of 48, same age as my oldest son), was there too.
He started telling me about a mutual acquaintance, who had died recently.
The conversation included: "well, he was 83, and had a good innings".
My answer was "James, at your side of the table, 83 may be a good innings, but, at THIS side of the table, 83 is a young chap"
There is always someone ones along to cheer you up when you are felling down 💀💀☠️

We've been for a walk round Coventry's Memorial Park this afernoon, the perimeter path is a smidge over a mile and a half, makes for a decent workout pushing my Good Lady round in her wheelchair, we did most of the walk in bright sunshine, towards the end it clouded over and as we got back to the car the rain started, superb timing.

We didn't go and test ride the ebike after all due to the shop not being open so I tidied up my workshop in the cellar instead. I also planned to go for a ride but the weather was against me so maybe tomorrow.

The worst one I experienced was at the NEC. Walked from the car park to the exhibition hall When we came out we exited by a different entrance it took us an hour to find the car Thought we were going to have to wait till the car parks cleared If there is one car park I hate with a vengeance it’s the NEC.

Well today has been a language lesson fer shure.
Never heard of sporting a semi but I guess it isn't something to brag about. So when there's a head on between two 40 ton semis your vision may differ from mine.
Boak is a new one, too.
We don't call them bobtails... they are tractors and with a load they are tractor trailers. We don't have no stinking lorries, no. They are trucks by golly.
With steady wind of 38-43 mph and 65 mph gusts I don't think I will get any of the bike medicine I crave after this trip. Maybe tomorrow. Took $300 in cash for the trip. Came back with 300. Restaurants in the Denver Metro only take plastic. A gas station took $2 for a coffee but only cause their card reader wasn't working.
As far as oatmeal goes no instant for me. I take some of the boiling water I heat up for the French press and get the oats fairly wet. After the oats have soaked up some water it goes for a minute in the microwave. Yogurt or milk and it keeps me going until lunch. If I feel really decadent raisins before the soak and/or pecans after are nice. I understand oatmeal is good for fiber and reduces cholesterol, but nice greasy sausages, eggs, cheese and toast with butter and Marmite.....now that is good.

I remember the porridge that used to be served up back in the day at the YHA.Used to be served up one lump or two Even worse was when you got lumbered as your hostel duty with cleaning the porridge pan
Happy days
What whisky is it ?

Yep we can all have our own private images of that one.
Now on the breakfast thing you were doing really well. Love the porridge ideas. Sausage, egg.....yes!
Sadly though you mentioned Marmite. This is breakfast we're talking about.
