This morning: my replacement exercise bike arrived from Germany. Spent an hour putting it together - you seldom get a second chance to assemble an exercise bike but it does go faster. Shredded the large cardboard box for recycling while bagging up the polystyrene blocks.
The bike works.
Lunch: a tin of mulligatawny soup followed by Clare's home-made pizza topping on naan bread (very nice!). I finish up with an apple and a square of that 90% cocoa chocolate which, perhaps because of its bitterness, is rather attractive.
Afternoon: I hoover polystyrene & cardboard litter from this morning's assembly.
I try to continue my reading of "The Emergent Multiverse" - I had not fallen off a cliff on chapter 3, where David Wallace does the math, but I can't concentrate on the later probability discussion today.
I read 'West Hunter' instead, and discover a promising SF book I haven't read. I order: "Rainbow's End" by Vernor Vinge.
I also dip into the current-final volume of ASOIAF: "A Dance With Dragons: Part 2 After The Feast".
Dinner is predicted to be Minced Beef En Croûte and peas. We are still avoiding 'greens' and at Waitrose tomorrow we'll be shopping for substitutes. Our list so far: squash, sweet potato, vegetable samosas, mushroom ravioli, baked beans (small, low sugar) and anything similar which comes to mind as we scan the shelves.
No trips out today, except down the drive to put the recycling out. Like yesterday, it's been raining all day and the clouds loom thick and dark.
This evening I'll continue reading to Clare. It's Lee Child's "Killing Floor" (originally recommended by my brother) and we're still in the county jail, mixing it with the gangs. Gritty.

No-one thinks that EM drive works.
A shame.
