Morning (nearly) denizens

I was up at five to seven to unlock the gate for the bins. Felt a bit rough, despite very moderate consumption last night, which I shall attribute to this low-key lurgy. Anyway, back to bed for a few more hours and I feel a good bit better, though still not 100%

Grey but mild out there at the moment

I don't believe it takes an apostrophe, but if it did, wouldn't Mother's Day be more appropriate.

Since one normally has one mother unless one was conceived by surrogacy or by that new fangled 3 parent method, or possibly by an alien species with rather more than 2 genders.

That sounds about right.

One can avoid the need to contemplate such complicated scenarios by opting for Mothering Sunday.

Excellent point! Slightly archaic usage FTW

It was old men I was moaning about.

Old women see a "bargain" and you best not be in the way.

Shopping done, and right speedily

And the car has had a wash - first time in a few weeks that one of the people of the Balkans has been available at the spot where I parked

The fitness app is nagging me:"You haven't logged your lunch!" That would be because I haven't had any lunch yet. A ham toastie will be prepared shortly, and probably accompanied by a jam doughnut or two for dessert

I've noticed that the "weight" chart on my phone shows a distinct up-and-down curve, going down midweek when I'm working, then creeping up again over the long weekend. Still, the overall trend is downwards, so I'm fine with that

[zeitghost]

My trend isn't downwards but at least it's not terribly upwards at the moment.

I seem to have developed a taste for port.

And advocat.

Both being sweet.

It's quite troubling.
