Wheldrake Ings

We were near Wheldrake, so we stopped by Wheldrake Ings.  For the first time, the plain was partially flooded, so there were more birds, but it was till too far too work out anything.

Supercar Trackday

As this year's birthday present, I got a supercar experience.  Porche 911 and Audi R8 got paddle shifts (speed shifting).  The old Mustang had old auto gear were definite much delayed.  It was fun.  Ticked off the bucket list.

Coconut Juice

We bought some coconut juice, aka "coconut drink" in lieu of the coconut milk from the tin, which is way too thick, for the purple rice pudding.  I think they worked well, kept the dessert cook and light for the chilled dessert.

Aluminum Steps

There was a set of small steps when I moved in, but it was quite flimsy, and one of the leg broke.  Since there, we only had the ladder, which is fine, but a little overkill.  So I got a used set of steps from Wakefield Hospice, double counting my spend as charity.  We are very pleased with the steps.

Toshiba RIP

I cannot believe I have this Toshiba since 2017.  It was working fine last night, albeit booted up weirdly.  I tried everything, booting into safemode, boot without ram, without battery, without harddrive.  I gave up.  I even took it to a local computer shop, he took one look at it and said motherboard and that there is no Toshiba spares.

Arboretum in Winter

When we thought going to gardens is silly in winter, and that arboretum should have some trees, except they have no foliage!  Something to bare in mind...

Spring BBQs

 We were very lucky with the weather, the local shops were rushing to get the charcoals loaded to the front of the shop. We had BBQs two days in a row across the bank holiday!
