Good outing in the single scull this afternoon, notable for taking place in heady temperatures of at least 7°C, resulting in non-painful digits. Lovely.
Not even spoilt by a visit from the p*ntu*re faeries and a 3 mile walk home.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard.

One of my favourites, and thought this a most appropriate song for today...

Looked like brightening up first thing but the day resolved into a bone-chilling damp greyness. My usual response is cake.
Double spiced rock cakes using my late mother's Kenwood Major (which is almost as old as me).

It's the mixer's 60th birthday next year; will it make its own cake? 🤔

After a session in the quad at 7 and then straight onto a coaching launch for another hour and a half, this is very welcome. 🥶

Last weekend's windy weather walloped the old shed roof. After tacking the remnants down on Monday and ordering stuff, I've spent the last two days measuring, cutting, laying on it damply and clouting many clouts. New end battens also needed. Starting to feel achy in all sorts of places...

Fourth 7 a.m. outing of the week at stroke in the middle-aged quad tomorrow.

I really need to get into stretching... Any YouTube video recommendations?
