- wake up to a beautiful sunshiney cold morning
- put the kettle on for a spot of tea
- Pop the BBC on. No shootings today as expected. Happy that the news being delivered to me is mostly accurate and without sponsor or vested interest
- Pop out the door
- get into my sensible sized fuel efficient vehicle with a manual transmission easy to service and control
- Take the second exit on the roundabout, knowing it is the most efficient and safe way to connect 4 intersections
- Stop at the cafe nearby work. It's already been about 20 minutes since my last tea
- Queue in an orderly fashion. Everyone is silent and patient and orders normal things like "coffee" and "tea" and not "double soy mocha latte cino with no froff"
- Get into work eventually. Say "it's a bit drizzly" outside in spite of obviously apparent torrential downpour outside. "Yes a bit" someone replies without looking up from their monitor
- Cut my hand at the office. "I need to take time off work", I say to my line manager. "No problem" says my boss, "in this country you can take time off more or less whenever for any reason you need so long as you're sensible."
- Go straight to the ER. "How much will it be?" I say, already knowing the answer. "Nothing", the helpful (if a bit brusque) nurse replies
- Colleague makes me a tea when I get back to work 4 hours later and even offers a jammy dodger on the side. Clear show of sympathy
- pop into the shops on the way home. Buy my alcohol at the same place as my food
- decide a bit of lasagna from the frozen food section and some rocket on the side for a healthy option today
- rocket is the real name for arugula
- take note that the price on the pricetag is the actual price I will pay at the till without having to do some mental maths
- leave shops. Lads singing an unintelligible song across the street at the chippy, probably about football (the one with the round ball)
- drive home listening to radio DJs I can't stand. Mumble a bit about taxes to myself with no one around to hear it
- Gosh it's warm out (10C, 50F)
- Arrive home, still light out
- double helpings of lasagna, don't touch the rocket
- pop the telly on again. Watch season 2 of The Real Office, the show that ended when it was supposed to and not 7 seasons later than it should have
- Go to bed
- still light out

Scotland having light all night is more a factor of being that far north than being the UK generally.

But yes I do find the UK enjoyable.

My point remains if you think we don't have cold days with sunshine. Can be pretty common in the winter months.

Mushy peas are a polarising thing. Some love, some dislike. I like them, but the precise texture is important.

Overall not that interesting but worth a try at least.

That's polarising with an "s" incidentally, did you notice

The place I go to that has them is good, so the textures probably fine there.
