back again

Day 8 and I still had a (very faint) pink line on my test this morning, wondering if I will ever be rid of this virus or if it has come to stay*. 

I'm feeling well now, so at least I'm able to do stuff in the house and garden, like using up all the black bananas in a  banana and cashew slice. I also learned how to make lentil flatbreads, which we ate for tea with split pea dahl and rice. I can't believe I've never made them before - so easy and also high in protein. Here is the recipe if you would like to try it.

Later on, I decided that this was going to be the day that I finally got back on my bike. I've done a lot of walking recently, and my poor bike has been sadly neglected. I pumped up the tyres and checked that everything else was working ok...and that was it...off I went...of course now I remember how much I like cycling - especially on a nice day like today with zero wind. The photo is of Irongray Church, which I passed on my travels.

In other news, I planted some peas. 

*I've just done another test and its definitely negative this time!
