Bacon butty for lunch, with lovely soft white bread

Bacon stir fry, when in hot humid countries etc..

It's clouded over, but there's no rain, and none forecast. I may need to pop outside for a moment to trigger some

There we are then, that's the washer on the leaky tap duly changed, since it hasn't been touched in about 10 years or so it was a bit of a pain but Zeity got there in the end.

And the outbuilding has been slightly tidied in preparation for the arrival of the ZeitMieleTumbleDrier tomorrow.

After all this exertion, and after getting some bol out of the freezer ready for tea, I've decided not to bother going down to town again this afternoon since it's a bit late.

Just observed a jackdaw attempting to pick a gooseberry off a gooseberry bush.

This may explain the distinct lack of gooseberries last year.



I didn't know jackdaws liked gooseberries.

Maybe I'd better buy them some more peanuts.

Door and drawer fitted to one side of the new(ish) base unit

Doing the other side will be considerably quicker, as I won't have to spend an inordinate amount of time puzzling over the instructions. B&Q really need to pick up a few tips from Ikea on how to do those. Heck, Ikea have to do it all with pictures to save on translation costs, and they're still a hundred times easier to follow than B&Q's stuff

Celebrating my triumph with a "ripe and ready to eat" nectarine

I've frequently been disappointed by that claim.

I had a nice little strawberry from the garden yesterday evening.

It was one of those tiny ones (wild or non cultivated) that are the very absolute essence of strawberryness when they're ripe.

Yum.

Same here, but nectarines usually aren't too bad - also, I bought these ones about three weeks ago

Yum indeed

As predicted, all done and dusted in around twenty minutes

I think the most time-consuming bit second time around was measuring the position to drill for the two bolts securing the handle on the drawer front

All is now clear.

Your Plan B is to become a fitted kitchen fitter.
