Caws mintys?

Next instalment on the cheese tasting -- cheddar with mint...

Again, the label says "infused" which I think means something other than -- with chopped up bits scattered throughout...  When I first cut into it, visually it reminded me of something like the Teifi with nettles -- but nettles just go better with cheese than mint IMO!  Mind you, I love mint normally...  I make my own mint tea, if I get ice cream somewhere, there's a greater than 50% chance that I'll choose mint choc chip, Uncle Joe's Mint Balls rock, but with cheese?  Meh...

Still one more to go...but thinking that cheese should stick to just being cheese...!  :)

Still looking at lighting systems for the bike... Anybody out there have any personal experience of Reelight or Magnic Light?

In other news, Bridget gave me some lovely runner beans...

...with which I made a yummy salad with some pole & line caught tuna and chives and thyme from Jessica's Garden...  Delicious!

Caws siocled?

Was going to write more tonight but got sucked in to researching bicycle dynamo lighting systems... I am looking to buy one, so if you have any personal experience, please do get in touch as none of the cyclists I know personally have any relevant knowledge...

We went to Llanwrtyd the other day and I bought this cheese -- Cheddar with Dark Chocolate...

"Infused" is the wrong word, because it's just got bits of chocolate in it....  It's interesting...  The cheddar isn't particularly strong.  It sort of like just putting some cheddar in your mouth and then putting some chocolate in your mouth.  It makes for a nice snack, but seems of limited utility somehow...  I've also got cheddar with mint and cheddar with ginger from the same people so will keep you posted when I get round to eating those...

I have a bad habit at work of leaning on my left elbow while I am doing stuff with the mouse in my right hand, and consequently I've now managed to destroy the elbows (left only!) of several perfectly good jumpers...  I couldn't bear to get rid of this one as it is cashmere and SO soft and yummy...

So, presto...  Wrist warmers!

(I have made a matching pair, but need one hand to hold the camera with...

The question is now, the rest of the jumper -- I was going to make a matching hat, but then I thought I could just turn it into a short-sleeved jumper -- but it is cashmere and has a polo neck -- and if it's warm enough to wear short sleeves, do I want to wear a cashmere polo neck jumper???  Any thoughts?

Croeso nol...!

And I'm back yet again...  Have spent the last nearly two years getting a little lost and sidetracked at times, but think I have found my way again (or at least the map) so we'll see how it goes...  Watch this space...
