Terrible place to drive to, being basically a big village with concomitant roads

Popped into the Lloyd's bank by the Clock Tower to get some cash; they’re not allowed to have the cash machines on the outside because of the stonework, so fully 90% of the people going in must be like me, customers of other banks just wanting to get cash because they’re the nearest cash machines to the Clock Tower, around which the entire life of Leicester revolves.

Just remembered, it gave me my first new £20 note! However, I didn’t realise until I took it out to pay the butcher, so I didn’t have a chance to examine it in any detail

Had my first one, from cashpoint, when I paid Landlord in London. I quite like them....

The butcher seemed quite amused by my excited cry of “It’s the first one of these I've had!” as I took it out to hand it to him

I had to look that up...

I had my first attempt at making madeleines this morning, using the tin HWMBO's ankle biters gave me for Christmas.

Texture, shape, taste all good.

Didn't get them out quick enough as I got distracted and they caught around the edges.

But, overall, I am happy with the outcome and have already eaten the 10 I made.

Did memories come flooding back when you ate them with a nice cup of tea?

When in with the hoi polloi the gateway timed out



Home again home again jiggety jig (or as close to a jig as I can make it considering the state of the legs at the moment).



Lunch: Poached tomato and scrambled egg on Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed toast (crust), beetroot sandwich, bramble jelly sandwich, 1.05 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Smalls out of the TD.

Cottons in the TD.

Shirts in the WM.

It'll be all change in about 10 minutes or so.

Sky: white.

Sun: gone in.

It's not looking too promising out there.

Lunch has been a couple each of the Lincolnshire sausages and rashers of smoked shortback from the market, in soft white finger rolls with lashings of red sauce. Lovely stuff
