Pandemonium

I took another loop through the Uxbridge golf course on a beautiful Spring day, a balmy 15°C. From the indiscreet roar of a new McLaren hurriedly joining the M40, to a screeching pandemonium of immigrant ring-necked parakeets and then the polite plinking of native coots on the Union Canal, there was lots to hear along the way.


Earlier, I was walking around the office with other team members, all in fundraising themed flat caps; a bake sale fund raiser. I ended up contributing stuff hastily purchased from M&S this morning after my savoury crepes went wrong - I whizzed the batter after adding pine nuts and the cooked galettes tasted pine-sap awful - I generally add whole pine nuts while cooking, without such change in flavour - is this like whole almonds becoming vile when transformed to marzipan? Always learning.

And if you're a sign writing sports fan, remember that first isn't always on top.

And now, a doggerel haiku memorialising a morning view:

Street parked stroller
memory distressed mother
baby car all missing
