    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

    Caving today. Got my annual appraisal with the boss this afternoon but should be alright. Famous last words..

    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.

    Really rather nice day, better than forecast for sure. Had to go out and get stuff, took a detour to have a walk along a nice long beach for a change.

    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.

    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

    Cheers Pinno - he seems pretty relaxed about it but I think they’re going to want to fix it

    Well, you would want it fixed too.

    So barring any incidents, ailments and catastrophe's in the near future, we might not hear from you soon?

    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.

    [ If Mrs P thinks there will not be enough milk in the morning for her Latte, custard is off. That's the default setting].

    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...)

    I like cream with fruit pies/crumbles more than both custard and ice cream. And I’m not going to apologise for that.

    FIL is fine btw. Turns out that he’s just getting old

    Scoff scoff scoff. Did I hear my name?

    Very cold thick cream with a nice hot cinnamony apple crumble.

    Vanilla ice cream or custard equal second.

    That's not a shabby speed HD. Did you have one of those Darth Vader aero helmets on?
