    Lunch wasn’t, because I went to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s and did the shopping

    But I did treat myself to something strange and new with my afternoon coffee: Jaffa Cake Digestives!

    They’re a limited edition, apparently. It’s basically a Jaffa cake with a digestive instead of sponge, which is fine by me

    It was raining heavily all morning and until I got back, when it started to ease off. As of now, there are some bits of blue sky, but also warnings of more showers

    One of the magpies was just down on the lawn; the male from our resident couple, I think. I realised when watching it fly up to rootle around in the top of one of the downpipes of the block opposite that I’d got their wing feathers the wrong way round - theirs are black at the bird end and white at the other end. Pigeons are the other way round, so it seems likely that the unfortunate bird whose remains, such as they were, were scattered across the lawn yesterday was indeed a pigeon

    I’ll still be happier once I see the two magpies down there together though

      Home sweet home.

      In amongst the post was a Notice of Intended Prosecution from the Police. I was snapped crossing the lights 1.1s after they had changed to red.

      Dammit. My first offence in 30 years of driving.

        Are they a cake or a biscuit?

          Tea has been lamb chops with chips and beans

          The chops were from July, when I froze them, so that frees up a little more space in the freezer

            That’s the big question! Sadly, Sainsbury’s didn’t provide a receipt that indicated whether I’d been charged VAT for them

              A common criminal!

              They’ll probably let you go on an awareness course

                Thunder and lightning are getting closer, and it's suddenly started raining very heavily

                  Quite an intense storm, that! The nearest strike was about five hundred yards away, on the corner of the park

                  It’s moved away towards Syston now. Hope it spares the Pukka Pie factory
