      Two lawns mown, the other feckers can mow their own.

      As fecking if.

      The tarp seems to be working, alternatively it ain't rained much.

      More stuff out of the pile o'tulipe put into the greenhouse to dry a bit before the next conflagration.

      Tea: kedgeree once I've found the recipe, some sort of yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

      Knackered now.

        Evening all

        Long day out today, rode over to Edale and then over Winnats Pass, down to Dovedale, Chapel-En-Le-Frith, back up over Mam Tor to Edale again and back home via various stupidly steep hills.

        202km and and 3000m of up. Thats 126'ish miles and 9900'ish feet for those still working in old money. 9hrs 30mins total time.

        Steak for dinner, plus anything else not nailed down in the fridge when I got back.

        Now off to a friends Pub for a (socially distanced) pint or two.

          Evening all.

          CovBaby is now three days overdue.

          To round off my weekend I've just had a month's notice from the agency. Digging a bit deeper it sounds like an issue further down the chain of suppliers - sadly their English isn't great but it reads that one of their contracts has expired and so they're not working with that customer any more (which I surmise is Agency 2 next along the chain).

          ClientCo still want me around and so perhaps I'll gently explore the possibility of getting back in further down the chain (with consequent rate rise to cover the steps taken out). Watch this space...

            On the food front: venison with mushroom sauce at lunchtime. Lovely.

            Cheese omelette and rice pudding (tinned sadly) this evening. We did have home-made rice pudding the other week and very nice it was too.

              Not sure if the meal I just had was a late lunch or an early tea, but one thing it definitely was: breakfast! A delicious, big fry-up
