According to Wikipedia, Marmalade is of Portuguese origin, although, the Scots are credited with inventing the spreadable version.

Not disputing your claim, to it, not my favourite spread (Rhubarb and Ginger Jam, Strawberry Jam, Honey, Lemoncurd, in that order for me). ;)
My favourite cycling snack is marmalade sandwiches.

I have a good reason: medical ground. Because our daughter is recovering from an operation for breast cancer and needs radio therapy to complete the treatment, she needs to be cared for and that's where we come in. Very valid reason I say, beside, I won't be stopping anywhere so won't be in contact with anybody.
On the way up to Wales, I didn't see a single police car on M5, M6 and M56.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
It's damp outside but not cold.
What to do today? :whistle:
My local grocer is doing deliveries, so a phone call to them for some fruit and veg, the butcher is also delivering, so a call to them as well.
That's ten minutes sorted.
The dog will be walked per normal and then some domestics.
Another busy day in paradise. :cuppa:

Good morning fellow retirees,
I started a course of antibiotics yesterday, just six tablets, two for the initial dose followed by one a day for the next four days.
Reading the list of possible side effects is interesting, one that stood out is the advice to avoid sunlight or even overcast conditions and wear sunglasses and sunblock if you do venture outside. I was brushing my teeth earlier and I’m sure my canine teeth are a bit longer and more pointy than they were yesterday 😮
I’ll need to keep an eye on this, meanwhile I’m back off to bed, I’ve also been feeling sleepier during daylight hours.
Have a peaceful day folks
