Halloween

Totally random autumn -- I'm wearing short sleeves today is how mild it is, but now that the clocks have gone back, I'm cycling home in the dark -- which is surprisingly exhilarating!  Lovely autumn food, although it's not really cold enough for it...  Freshly popped corn...

...and yummy sausages and roasted butter-nut squash...

Might treat myself to some Candy Corn this weekend if I can find such a thing for sale in Carmarthen!

I don't normally read newspapers, but I bought one yesterday and just wanted to share these two things that made me laugh out loud:

My snazzy new dynamo has been slipping in the rain, and my wheel has been out of true since day one -- so I decided to have a go a truing my wheel in the hope that it would stop the dynamo slipping...  If this works, I owe you a pint hairy American dude!

However, easier said than done...

The theory works if you know that your brake pads are straight and centred - but what if they're not?  In the end, I just aligned the wheel to the dynamo, so it's a straighter wheel now, but not necessarily a centred one!  There's plenty of rain in the forecast though, so we'll find out if it worked soon enough...

Ar werth...

The things that you find when you're having a tidy-up -- we all own far too much stuff, and it clutters up our minds as well as our houses...

Bwyd...

So these are black radishes that I planted -- completely different to salad radishes.  These ones are quite small but they are just my thinnings, so they will get bigger.  They need to be cooked, and you see them here with my turnip thinnings -- quite nice really!

Yummy yummy challah which is always gone too soon!  L'shanah tovah!

And Sunday dinner with Dave's lovely baby carrots -- and boy were they carrot-y!
