Grey.

There was no rain forecast for today so I thought I'd take advantage of the light breeze and hang the sheets outside to dry. I needn't have bothered, the damp air cancelled out the breeze and the sheets were just as damp when I took them back in later in the day. Here goes another winter of drying everything over the rayburn. 

During my morning browsing I found out a bit more about the bra display. The details are  here (or here) which does explain things but I still think if my initial reaction was one of distaste then that might be the same for a lot of other people. Perhaps hanging up pink ribbons might have been better.

Although damp it has been a dry and warmish day  so I was back mixing cement in a bucket. I got a good section done and the old mortar pulled out from the next bit. I'm having to replace almost all the mortar but I am getting better at it. Just don't look too closely at the finish.

This morning I had a go at roasting the pumpkin seeds that I had taken out of yesterday's pumpkins. I roasted them in olive oil and smoked paprika but the first time I took them out of the oven (the rayburn is oh so slow these days), they tasted a bit too oily. I put them back and now they are crispy and I can only really taste the salt that I sprinkled on them. Not sure if I would bother doing that again.
