31 January 2025 (Friday)

Following the glorious day of yesterday, the morning starts wet and colder and that theme continues through the day, so I get on with stuff at my desk.

I do pop to the library to collect a book that’s arrived that I’ve had on reserve; The Sea Detective by Mark Douglas-Home - I read The Malice of Waves which is a later book in the series and enjoyed it, so this one’s being given a go.  I really like to start a series of books at book one and then read through the series, though The Malice of Waves was on the sharing book shelves in the portico of our local library and I picked it up a few weeks back, popping in its place a Boy George biography in exchange that I’d picked up six months or so ago.

Weather:  Lots of rain overnight and a grey and mild start to the day.  Definitely cooler than yesterday even when the sun did break through a few times all too briefly.  Wet, much of the day drizzling.

Breakfast:  Scrambled Eggs, Baked Beans & Toast
Lunch:  Lidl Minestrone Soup (tin), Lidl Artisan Loaf, Homemade Hummus & Cucumber
Supper:  Cabbage in the Troo Style (vegetarian - dish inspired by a Tamasin Day-Lewis recipe.  Needs tweaking prior to sharing), Boulangerie Potatoes, Peas and gravy
