    Lunch here has been zingy chicken, tomato and lentil soup, with the usual bits of bread (wholemeal bread from Iceland for a change). Just the thing for a grey damp day, which is what it's turned into

      Drizzling.

      Which it did merely because I walked down to Wilko & back.
      When the fun stops, STOP.

        Lunch was an oak smoked kipper fillet on buttered wholemeal bread, and another 40cl mug of Earl Grey tea.
        oh, and a liberal dollop of polish horseradish.
        very nice.
        gone grey here, again.

          "Watching" a parcel, travelling by FedEx from near Cork.
          Collected and then went to Cork Airport yesterday
          Was flown up to Shannon Airport at about 6pm.
          Then flew to CDG (Paris) - arrived just before midnight
          Flew from there to Stansted - arrived at 4am
          Transferred to Bedford.
          Hopefully arriving tomorrow

          Straight line distance is about 350 miles. Travel distance is going to about 3x that.
          …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                      Nah, giving them something exotic to look at instead: an M&S t-shirt

                      The call didn't last long in the end. Suppose I should start thinking about cooking dinner soon
