6.07.2025 Can thee ride tandem lass?

 ~o~

  Sunday 6th 64F/18C [9.45] Damp and overcast start but sunshine at 9.45. This morning's rain is supposed to clear this afternoon. There doesn't seem to be much rain on the DMI radar.

 Up at 5.50 after a quiet night. I forgot to start my blog as I was researching stuff online. 60 pages of posts on a technical forum takes a while to read.

 9.45 The arrival of unexpected sunshine prompts me to escape to the shops. Several staples are running low or completely absent. 

 12.00 Back from an hour long trip to the shops in the Morris. 

 Where I saw a combination tandem. The young lady rode up front as if seated on a  recumbent. While the man sat upright. One of their panniers was scraping the ground in the picture. I sensed a pet in a cage at the back but it seemed hidden in cloth. It was too small for a child. Or at least I hope so. Do I see a ginger corgi-like head? 

 Another lazy day watching YT technical reviews. Apart from spending some time outside in the sunshine. Staring at the sun though a solar telescope. Between waiting for large plates of cloud to pass over.

 Sunday dinner was fried chicken, brown mushrooms, peas, carrots, boiled potatoes and Bisto gravy. It was all, absolutely perfect. Except perhaps, for the want of another teaspoon, or two, of gravy. I didn't measure the cold water. Relying, instead, on guessing [badly] for the quantity in the small saucepan. 

 I cooked the peas and carrots together. Which made for colourful water to pour away. I seem to have forgotten something important about using this water. Was it for the gravy? I remembered to add the tiny bit of olive oil. Left over from the frying pan.
