[WTFH]

Sometimes I dream of having a Coat Hook in/on several random places (trees, walls, fences etc) on various dog walking routes so that I can set off on walks wearing a coat and then leave it hanging once I get warmed up.

I only have a couple of issues with the logic - I probably go on fewer walks where I set off thinking it's warm enough not to wear a coat - only to find I need to wrap up circa 1/2 way round,
and I would need to purchase multiple coats to account for the ones left randomly over the country side.

Possibly I should speak to the locals about a Coat sharing scheme where we collectively sort something out.

I think a few of those oversized duvet type coats should be OK for most sizes. MrsD looks quite cute wrapped in one of my coats - I expect the old dear down the road would be warm enough albeit rather less cute!

This is almost worthy of DMC.

Thing is, I take the coat out because I've put a high-vis vest on the outside of it when walking I'm walking early mornings, also because we seem to get a lot of rain these days, rather than because I'm too cold.

Lunch today was the same as yesterday, as the chicken-with-coconut-and-mango Needed to be Eaten™

And this afternoon, I ventured forth again, on foot this time: I needed to post something in the pillar box outside the post office, and then visited the chemist's a few doors up for the monthly prescription.

Now trying to decide what to have for tea

[NickFitz]

Tea turned out to be ribs (mango BBQ sauce variety) and chips

Sainsbury's delivery arrived!

Tonight's viewing was The Challenger, a dramatisation of Richard Feynman's work on the inquiry into the exploding Space Shuttle. I thought it was good; it turns out it was first shown in 2013 and is only available for a couple of weeks, so hurry to iPlayer if you want to see it

Friday tomorrow!

Goodnight all
