Latest moan from you and me 2026
Made myself a bowl of cereal with a nectarine and some prunes, with skimmed milk. Very healthy. Sat down to enjoy it, and realised I’d forgotten to put any cereal in.

Made it to the Allotments but only to pick sprouts, dig parsnips, and get a bit of salad from the greenhouse. Too wet for much else.
