    I like those.

    Having chicken salad tonight, avoiding the aforementioned veg and using new potatoes, radishes, lettuce, cress, sweetcorn and tomatoes, with mayo and pepper.

    Also gave me some tomatoes including some interesting-looking 'tiger' tomatoes. Never heard of them, but I'm sure they'll be very nice.
    I always buy extra large eggs.

    Apropos 'tiger' tomatoes, I have never seen any for sale, but they appear to be conventional tomatoes but with a variegated skin. Let us know if they taste different.

    I love wild mushrooms for brekky with fresh thyme and garlic, throw in a bit of butter at the end served with scrambled eggs, don't even need toast.

    Yes, I think one or two people died with it. There are plenty of Youtube videos for folk who like to see people paying dearly for their stupidity. Anita and some her family/friends had a go at it, never ended well. I managed to avoid it, I'm not as daft as I look.

    I always have a tomato on my workday lunch baguette. I'll try one out Monday.

    Actually, it looks like I wasn't far out. He was caught on the stretch of the Grand Union Canal towpath I thought he might head for, a quarter of a mile beyond the north edge of Southall at Rowdell Road, Northolt, which I know well. Not far from here.
