A bright clear sunny morning - although by no means a warm one - so we risked the wrath of the police by driving more than five miles (although no more than seven) to do the extended version of the short walk in Admiral's Park for our daily allowed exercise. The queue at the Cafe was too long, or we might have had an illegal "picnic" of two coffees as well (all that refers to an incident in Derbyshire yesterday when two women were accused of these heinous crimes and fined £200 each). I'm not alone in feeling that the Derbyshire rozzers are taking these things more seriously than they should, even in these difficult times. There's nothing to be gained by making a laughing stock of themselves.
Strange weather on the way home - as we climbed the hill out of Boyton Cross it was like going up into very low-lying cloud and it stayed misty / foggy / cloudy for the rest of the day.
After pain au chocolat for lunch (with Frank Cooper's Oxford Marmalade for a truly mixed European experience) I gave the cat drinking fountain its weekly clean and made some butter - not easy with four silicone finger protectors on my right hand and one on my left. After that and the walk I had a bit of a weekend dex crash and slept for an hour or so. Stamina is definitely not what it was and I get tired far too easily. Fortunately it doesn't take all that much to recharge the batteries.
Bad car crash at the other end of the village today, road closed for several hours. DIfficult conditions with temperatures around freezing all day. PHOTOS HERE
Time for me to go downstairs and start on my signature pork loin dish for dinner...
