He's probably helping Accy put with his valve caps.

No news from screenman@ it's been 8 days since we last heard from him, hope he's OK

Bit longer than 8 days.

No crowds in these parts, I cannot figure why anyone who dislikes crowds lives in a crowded area.

And you only opened that tub on Sunday.

Pinhead oatmeal is coarsely ground oats. Much better texture than the medium or fine and IMO tastes much better. Add some pease meal and you can make brose which is just oatmeal plus the pease meal [optional] with some salt and boiling water poured on.Leave to set and eat with milk. Some experimentation may be needed to judge the amount of water.
Should have addressed that to 12boy.

She can excavate my bone any time she fancies.

I looked up pinhead oats, I just was unfamiliar the term although I've eaten steel cut oats for years. Thanks for the explanation, Oldwheels.
Went out for a little teeny ride, maybe 3 miles, but the wind on my face going downhill wasn't nice. Going uphill was much better because it was more work and much slower. Trouble with up is you gotta come down. I will go for a little walk in a bit.

pease meal

I hadn't heard of peasemeal before - it sounds worth trying.

When I get my pension next year I will start treating myself to things that I don't buy now because of the price.

Isn't that what they use to make Pease Pudding?

Nearest weather station has us at minus 11 at the moment! Electric blanket on quite high tonight. Roll on Sunday to the start of a milder spell.

Wikipedia says that peasemeal is roasted and caramelised, but pease pudding is boiled. Not tried either of them.

-4 and feeling like -8 here. I also have my electric blanket on.
