Don't disagree with the helmet point; but that's a fairly well known face - not sure I've ever seen him with a lid?

...after all the drafting chat. Managed to run into a deliver moped that decided to do a surprise brake manoeuvre...
In fairness; doubt moped-ers expect to have someone running on their tail, so it probably wasn't deliberate and 100% my fault. If annoying.

...my toddlers bloody love an artisanal olive. It's about as close as we get to vegetables.
May as well post directly into the thread.

First foray into baking.
Bread Ahead my previous absolute favourites, figured their recipe was the one to pursue.Conclusions:
a) Very satisfying experience; will mince again
b) 2 minutes** in the air fryer and suddenly 4 mincers for breakfast before the mid morning mincer with coffee seems entirely acceptable especially as they are free*
c) Mrs LIL would prefer a heavier citrus presence
d) the bread ahead recipe is too heavy on the ol' suet; it's best warm but does weather a longer bake for a more delightful pastry. Next batch will be 50% of the suet recommended to test...*oh jesus that's a lot of pure fat this isn't a free mince pie this is going to correlate directly with a coronary but my god what a way to go maybe I should have another just to make sure I make it up the stairs ok to my home office
** 2 mins @ 180 the sweet spot so far

Llanberis is great. Finish is always good and turn around is typically exactly as advised. My only hesitance in recommending is it might add more customers and slow my resoles down!

The forum has spoken; brompton based luggage in-bound.

having a brompton bag crisis.
having finally caught up with the real world and the delights of front mounted cargo on my commuter... the brompton needs the same treatment.
Do I put my wizard works on an adapter frame? do I go restrap? Should I go full-kit-wanker on my showroom standard brompton with a brompton bag? roll top large or large basket bag? full custom something or other from somebody with needle and thread skills?
...any one selling anything?

in the absence of #rep, thanks for improving my week.

Is the next culture war topic dog owners vs. people who like to go for walks in parks and not get slobbered on?
having had a few years with a slightly more considered tax form completions I don't think I have the mental capacity this year to face down reality - any good recommendations for tax accountants for what is a very simple tax return filing (if you're not me)?
