Just cooked part of my tea in the air frier only to discover, yet again, I put it in drawer 2 but set it off on the default drawer one! Another 15 minutes to wait. After much pondering I have decided to call this phenomenon Ninjosis - the art of selecting the wrong drawer in a Ninja Air Frier!

Kudos to the lady on the blue Chopper on today’s bike ride. Not the most practical bikes, but well done!

For all Chocolatiers out there, be patient! There are only 196 more sleeps until Easter!
Please note - if you are an insomniac then it’s only 10!! 👍🤓👍

Just ordered the Lime Green Baofeng UV-5R from AliExpress for £14.66 delivered. Thought I’d dip a toe to see how long it takes, and this one should match my bike!

Just got the Nagoya NA701 (genuine) for the Baofeng UV-5R Mini. Will try it out later to see the difference in receive signal.
Interesting that it’s a £19 aerial (including delivery) for a £20 radio!
More suitable than the usual NA771 as it is only around 150mm in length.

Weather can’t make its mind up today. Little bit of rain in between sunshine, but still damp, so avoided my usual route down the railway line.
Not keen on sticking to main/busy side roads but the route was relatively dry. Not been out on the bike for a while, so better than nothing!

Got a lumpy #stoma? It could be a granuloma—red, raised, and sometimes painful. It can also affect bag adhesion.

Hmmm, saw this on FB and must say I am not impressed.
Implying somebody is stupid because they don’t have the clairvoyant skills to determine somebody’s invisible illness does not help the cause.
My disability is invisible, but I don’t assume people are stupid for not guessing!

My most exotic Halloween location was Los Angeles. Went to Universal Studio the next day and saw the remnants of some of the parties they had there. That was back around 1993, so only a few weeks ago!

Oooooh, these look nice. However, a £1 for a bar the size of a raffle ticket didn’t seem good value.

Eeek. Had to get up as feeling quite unwell. First woke up with a really bad stomach ache - quite painful in fact, then got a bit panicky. Just having a cup of tea to calm the soul.

Today’s cycling frustration was a large group of “hikers” who seemed reluctant to get out of the way. Not sure why it is necessary to take up the full width of the path.
Had I been coming the other way (uphill) this would have been quite awkward.
I had to maintain ramming speed for them to move! 🤓
