In spite (or maybe because of?) the previous day's excesses, I was up reasonably early and had a productive day. Irn Bru? Pah... Eat chill infused grasshoppers and get no hangover? Obviously....

Quiet morning of wilfing, hovering, laundry (still trying to grapple with the post holiday mountain of dirty clothes) and then eventually out to her for an Ikea / Asda trip.

A couple of mugs and a griddle pan later (I need it to do my harissa marinated asparagus on Saturday) we're done; had a brief look through holiday pics and thrashed out a plan for a wedding in Ulster in autumn next year. (Not ours....!)

Then home and back out on the bike - up to meet Baz for a brisk circuit of the Seat - cool, breezy, invigorating. And the walk was good, too.... He was in good nick; happy about the Dundee derby, and a convoluted discourse on the upcoming election (zzzz)

Then home to Spanish bean stew and dry clothes off the line.
