Pac a Mac kerel

Yesterday was my day off so Bob and I met to begin to tick off our list of lovely things to do together:
Go for a cream tea in Oxford
Prance about in a bluebell wood
Join a pottery class
Find out what fisting is

We began with a nice cycle ride along the canal. Bob has a new bike which is blue with a basket. Dave came round first for a cup of tea and a rock bun which was a very tasty amuse bouche indeed. We had a brainstorming sesh for the name of the bike. Suggestions were: Gemma Jardine, Corinne Rhodes, Robyn McAllister and Azure. Votes in the comment box please.
Then we took our leave of Dave and packed up our warm mackerel and potato salad, chocolate orange cupcakes, and ginger ale and set off. We cycled up the kingsland canal and stopped off in London Fields to eat our main course.

Warm mackerel and potato salad:
Chop potatoes into bitable chunks and boil. Leave the skin on for nutritional benefit. Then add lots of mayonnaise, spring onions, lemon, and broken up smoked mackerel and mix thoroughly. Oh I also added handfuls of spinach.

Then the bit holding some of Corinne Rhodes' spokes to her wheel fell off which made it a bit difficult for Bob to ride her so we went to the bike shop and got her patched up. All better now! Luckily Rhapsody is built like a tank so we just waited outside safely but anxiously during this operation.

Then we pedalled back to the city road basin to eat our chocolate orange cupcakes on a mosaic bench shaped like a fish.


Emerging finally just by Shoreditch park for home time. What a good day!
