Dull. Overcast. Signs of wet stuff on the ground. Currently 15 degrees ('feels like' 13) and that's the high for the day. Light rain expected for most of the day. Barometer down to 1002 mBar.

Today is car pick up day
Having done all my morning meetings, I'm considering going now to collect it rather than waiting until this afternoon.
Just added diced spuds to the beef & Guinness thing. I'd been in two minds about chucking them in or having it with chips, but decided in-stew was better. I'm gambling that the beef needs longer in there to be really tender, and will be just right by the time the spuds are done. And I sliced a bunch of small ones extremely thinly, so they'll break down and thicken it up when I give it a good stir an hour or so before serving
It's only been on for a couple of hours and already smells glorious!
Well I'm glad I decided to go and collect it earlier in the day.
The Metropolitan Line was on the wonk and it took a good 2 hours to get to Croxley. Then it started raining on me as I started the walk from the station to the trading estate.
However, on arriving at the garage, my baby car looked better than it did 17 years ago when I first bought her. They had done an amazing job. Expensive but I think worth it.
