A lovely trip to the Cat Cafe in Eastbourne. Birthday treat from my brother. Another item ticked off my (very) humble little bucket list!
I am still nursing a torn achilles, and today is a rest day. Too bad that the weather is ticking upwards again.
The barometer that I bought recently has turned out to be defective, so I will have to repair it, if I can. In the meantime, I found this simple but fully-working barometer in another of my favorite charity shops. It has been accurately reflecting changes in pressure for the last week, so I am very happy with it.
Those with sharp eyes will notice that this one comes from GDR - the former East Germany. I once had a car with tires made in East Germany - they hardly wore at all and out-lasted the car (which I had kept for a few years). With luck, this barometer will do the same.
The maker, Fischer, is still in business and you can find some of their products, here:

I liked the anthem of the GDR, and was sorry when the words were dropped, and they just played the music. We always listened to it in the Kneipe that I often frequented when living in Germany, and it marked closing time, too.
Listen, here:
Tiles I'm cleaning. Heavily edited to show areas that need attention.
Cleaning brings me great peace. Sanctuary from trivial conversations and busyness.
I found a set of four cups and saucers for a pound, so bought them. They are made by Ikea and feature a castellated base to the cup. Who cares? Well, it means that there won't be an air-lock under the cup in the case of spilled liquid - nothing worse than picking up the cup and briging the saucer along, too, only for the saucer to fall away and crash to the floor!
The thing I love about Italian bikes is that most of them fit me.
My friend is telling me to get another bike. It's been a while since my last one. This would be great but prudence tells me to get a smaller one for a year.
Isn't this gorgeous!

The last few days haven't been easy for anyone. An understatement, for sure.
Don't worry, be happy.
(These sunflowers are very real, in case you're wondering!)
Today is bread-making day again. Looking into my baking box, I found several almost empty bags of different kinds of flour. So I weighed them all into a bowl together, and this strange looking bread is the result.
After cooking the onions, and garlic, add the chopped fruit and veggies and let them sweat on a medium heat for 15 minutes.
Stir from time to time to prevent burning.
This is a 1956 Lamborghini DL25 tractor that I was lucky to see at Joe Macari's showroom in 2019.
(Yes, I'm digging through my archive!).
The DL25 had a 2.5 litre twin-cylinder diesel engine, making 25 bhp. It was designed to be simple to operate and easy to repair by the farmer.
It was the Italian equivalent of the famous Ferguson TE20 ('Little Grey Fergy').
