Ride was very nice. A local baker dropped off a loaf of sourdough porridge bread baked this morning and that blew my lo-carb diet all to hell..2 slices an inch thick with butter, the size of two hands together. Very good...this baker makes other things like pstry or baguette...but although they taste great, his whole wheat grainy stuff always reminds me of Terry Pratchett 's dwarf bread...it is the staff of life because you could bludgeon any assailant to death with it.
Be well and safe...

Cease and desist all this talk of fresh baked bread. You're making me miss a relatives handiwork. Oft they'd raffle some off, so well sought by those who knew.

I've had enough cryptic clues for one day (and half a night)!
I've added another Metro cryptic (finished Friday's), a quick Times and half the next one, plus one of the last 2 clues in my FT crossword. The Telegraph puzzle looks a bit harder, and I am still intimidated by the full-size Times crosswords, but I think I'll get to that standard in a week or two if I keep practising.
I can think of something that might be more suited to Madrid! (Unless the French also use the word, but I don't think so...)

We regularly see (and HEAR) 3 Chinooks going over our garden. Always on the same flight path. I would really like to know where they are headed.We see the odd Chinook too but I’ve never seen them used for clearing snow ! Sounds scary
We see them going t'other way also
.I was told similar to that back in the 70s by a guy who had lived there for a few years. Apparently he was told that even if knock a black person over you do not stop.
On a related note.....in the 80s I was asked to visit iran for work.... I declined the offer

I believe the Spanish use the same root word, but use a slightly different plural form. The word is in the English dictionary too, but rarely heard in English usage.
Good morning.
First things first......Mo......how is your poorly wrist
.
-1° here and feels it.
0400 this morning 2 yoofs of bikes (no lights) stopped outside to weigh our property up. MrsD was quickly up to fully open the blinds and they were off.
No way they can get in the garage as its double locked inside and the roof is now reinforced but they can cause a mess.
