Youngest rugrat is 16 today 😳 I celebrated with a run and a few pints with friends last night as I don’t think I will escape to the pub this weekend as apparently he is arranging birthday related stuff all weekend. Mmmmmm got a 4 hr run on Saturday too
Work snizzle and then an Indian and a film (according to the birthday schedule)
Morning comrades. Chill out no work day. Mutt walked, muddy hell it was cool. Currently watching athletics before a trip out on the graveller. Happy Birthday to Mr TLW,s now 16 rugrat. Mr T good luck with the long run.
Morning folks, WFH today, feels cool out, not that I've actually been outside. Made a coffee for the EPO and myself just now, said we should consider changing to espresso martinis as it's Friday. Off to one of the local hostelries later for refreshments. Happy birthday younger TLW, although at 16 I hope he's still got some of his liver left. Lad's got a job interview shortly for a grad scheme, fingers crossed. Good luck later Stevo, hopefully you haven't been rumbled yet.
Local comoonity assos. want me to be involved with objection to local planning where the cooncil has consented to 60 new social houses in the local village. This after they were reluctant to support me in the bid to reduce the speed limit on grounds of remaining non-partisan.
Well, they can stuff themselves and they can have fun wrestling with their nimbyism.
Apparently, the houses will be single storey for elderly and disabled.
I said: Consent on the condition that these houses won't encroach too far towards the existing (quite new ironically) private houses or else risk having your objections over turned completely.
Afternoon Been shopping, walked the dogs and done some stretching so far today. I’m not sure I can bothered to do anything else, other than drink some wine.
Look! Two days in a row! Migraine this morning. That cleared by lunchtime. Which was good because I’m now sitting in a hospital waiting room having taken my father in law to get a suspected detached retina checked out. #livingthehighlife
Nothing beats apple crumble and ice cream for lunch.
Wrong Mr P, its has to be thick custard preferably made with full fat milk.
You can have one or the other.
Let me educate you a bit Oxo:
I make my crumble slightly tart. The combination of the sweetness of the ice cream complements the tartness. See? Custard has it's place, don't get me wrong. I love custard.
Let's suck in our resident chubby bloke gastronome and see what he thinks.
I was educated by this old dear in the 'every little helps' supermarket today; she was busy loading into her trolley multiple packs of the 'Ms Molly's' digestive biscuits, the low price basic in-house brand about 1/5th of the cost of McVities. Apparently (she says) these combined with butter and sugar make fantastic crumble toppings.
I leave it to the wider opinion.
(When was the last time I made a crumble? 🤔 Might just have a wee play...)

Spent a couple of hours setting up new iPad for Mum, expecting phone calls about it soon.
Bit of faffing about with a load of gravel then... drinks.

Good luck to him.
So barring any incidents, ailments and catastrophe's in the near future, we might not hear from you soon?
And it wasn’t a GPS glitch either

Good luck supporting the FIL Mr J.
Not sure if Mr H has a death wish, at least on a bike you've got brakes. Enjoy the holiday.

FIL is fine btw. Turns out that he’s just getting old
Very cold thick cream with a nice hot cinnamony apple crumble.
Vanilla ice cream or custard equal second.
