It's about time this thread turned away from smut and to important matters. I had an ice cream stop today. Frederick's for those who know the area........bannoffee fudge.

It needs a bit of tweaking but basically it is functional. Nice to flip the two way faucet on for the garden and turn it off in a couple hours. Really enjoyed my ride today, so much nicer than bundled up like the Michelin man against the cold and wind. Tomorrow I will plant some stuff, maybe a mow and a little weedeater action.

I would like to put a "like" to that but it looks far too sickly for my tastes.
But I do know Fredericks. Never stopped there but often drove past it.

Unfortunately our local ice cream man got his timing wrong this morning, he came past just as we started lunch and we weren't able to indulge.

A very enjoyable little walk today, a 9 mile circuit of Penicuik and the grounds of Penicuik House. Sun came out very quickly and temp swiftly rose to a very pleasant 18°.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

WTF...!!!!!
[Investigates...]
Hmm, the carbon monoxide detector just went off upstairs. I had been smelling the smoke from the neighbour's barbecue, which is in their back yard about 2 metres out from the back of our terrace, and offset about 4 metres to the side of my open window. It surprises me that the wind would blow enough nasty fumes my way to cause a problem, but to be on the safe side I've closed the windows on that side now and opened those on other side of the house instead.
I've had CO poisoning in the past and don't want to go there again!

Yes, but the thing blowing through would be the smoke I was trying to keep out...
I've just been out in the yard to bring in my dried washing. Barbied undies anyone? (They smell 50% freshly-washed/50% barbecue smoke!)

I'm not going to try eating them! (Before anybody posts about it... yes, I do remember edible undies in the 1970s/80s. Bloody weird then, and bloody weird now!
)Something a bit odd happened as I was locking my front door before I left for this evening's ride. I heard footsteps behind me and then an 8 (-ish) year old boy bursting into song. After one word and the first syllable of the second, I knew what he was going to sing...
My older sister was a HUGE Beatles fan at the time so I got to hear all of their records as soon as they were available in the shops. I remember singing that song myself as an 8 year old, 57 years ago! Tonight's lad must have been listening to his grandparents' record collection...
