Hi Hicky. 
Fairly nice day here too. A bit windy, but sunny and up to 8c when I went to Lidl this afternoon.
Forgot to mention, but a couple of days ago I had a bit of a disaster with my cooker.
I think I had told you that the catch on the oven door had broken and I was using a brick to keep it shut (this was a few months ago). Well the brick wasn't quite heavy enough, and every now and again the door sprang open a bit, and it stopped cooking.
Well on Thursday it did this once too often and I got annoyed with it and kicked the brick. Big mistake because the outer door was made of toughened glass, and it shattered into a thousand pieces on the kitchen floor. 
Luckily the inner door is fine. And actually I was able to retrieve the broken bit of the catch that had fallen down inside the door, so I've now mended the catch.
I tried cooking a pork chop without an outer door on Friday, and it cooked fine. But obviously the inner door gets hot, and probably lets heat escape into the kitchen.
So I've fashioned a new outer door out of a piece of melamine type stuff cut to size, covered in kitchen foil to reflect heat back into the oven, and a bit of cardboard on the outside for insulation. I painted the cardboard black to match the cooker.
I looks great, but I haven't cooked anything in there yet, so not sure if it'll be effective.
Cheaper than buying a new cooker though. 
I looked into sourcing a new door, but couldn't find anything online.
I like Spaghetti Carbonara as much as Bolognese, but haven't tried making it myself yet.
Yes, I bet there's little to beat having a coffee in your 'manshed' when the sun is shining. 
That is early for cutting grass. But it is getting fluffy here in patches so I'm kind of half expecting a phone call from one customer, who always seems to be first each season.
Presume you are using the American usage of "pants" there? 
Loved Saara's routine on DOI. Thought it was very entertaining, and loved the idea of her breaking out of jail at the beginning.
But I suppose i can see that the judges are looking for precision and synchronisation at this point, so didn't give her very high marks.
Really pleased she lived to fight another week though.
I think she naturally is about the fourth best skater, so I'll be happy if she can get to fourth or third in the competition. I think James and Wes probably deserve to be first and second.
After that i really enjoyed Endeavour.
Luckily my Uncle phoned earlier than usual, so didn't interupt DOI.
Worryingly he says he has Pneumonia. 
He says he's on his second lot of anti-biotics, and today is the first day he has started to feel better.
He didn't sound too bad on the phone, but he is 86 and has other health problems, so it's a bit worrying.
