Looks to be a balanced meal. Maybe lunch?
Good morning Guardians. Looks to be a rainy day today - there's doubt that I'll get my round of golf in today. If not then I'll tackle some indoor chores with my HHB at the ready.

Yes, just something to keep me going Bill, I have been quite enjoying those mini pork pies
I guess you could use the rain Bill, in which case it's a mixed blessing? Hope you have a great day anyway

Like many large cities, many of the folks in the surrounding towns and villages around Leeds, even in other cities like Sheffield, actively dislike the place. I remember soon after I moved here, a Sheffield friend asked me if people in Leeds hated Sheffield, the way Sheffielders hate Leeds. I told him that they didn't even think about Sheffield 
Another thing about big cities is that their inhabitants often have very little reason to go to the smaller towns close by. I'm always interested to visit them, but that's quite unusual. Five miles away there's a place called Morley, where I've never been. Every time I've mentioned it, Leeds folks say something along the lines of, "Well, why would you?" Or worse. There does seem to be some historic enmity towards the 'Morley wallers', if only because they seem to think of themselves as a self-contained town, rather than a mere suburb.
The fact is though, that Morley IS a town! And quite a big one A few weeks back, I was looking at what had happened to a couple of old friends I had lost touch with, and saw that they had opened a bar in Morley. Looking at photos online, it actually looked like quite an interesting place, and larger than I had realised, I couldn't believe that I hadn't been there before.
By chance, another couple of friends live there, and I thought they might like to show me around for a day. I texted my mate, but he just thought I wanted to go to the bar, and despite being enthusiastic about that, couldn't see past it. We made arrangements for me to visit, but then there was a week of rail strikes, so we put it off until tomorrow. I'm going to try to get out there in the morning, and have a look around, even if I have to do it without a guide. There's a market there, and at least one antique centre, and lots of lunch options. Hopefully, I can get an adventure out of it

Thanks buddy, my throat still hasn't recovered, I need to go and see the quackGood luck on your Jacket Attack... Don't get sick this time.
I'm planning to fully immerse the jacket this time, as
donn
did. Unfortunately, one of my thick rubber gloves had come into contact with some other chemical, and is no longer fit for purpose, so the coat will have to wait for another day I'm amazed that he is not better known today, as he certainly was during his lifetime, but to some extent that is understandable I think
I'll definitely take a camera with me my friend, and hope the forecast rain blows over
Great stuff
I'll play Greg!

Please be careful, Jack. Doesn’t seem worth it. Do have fun in Morley. Enjoyed hearing of the rivalries from an insider. Good that you don’t follow the crowd. Keep on eating and exploring,I have a bunch of work I need to do today, in and around the house, as well as launching another chemical attack on my smelly Barbour jacket - going to try diluted peroxide and vinegar this time, and if that doesn't work, I'm giving it back!
A nice image of your new collection of nuts, Todd.Nuttin’ much going on today.
Liked your Haiku as much as your image of a worthy Lambfoot.I will have to pick that one up then.
Thank you Harvey.

Thanks Harvey
It's a very dilute solution, one cup 6% peroxide, 2 cups white wine vinegar, and a bucket of cold water, but I'll make sure I wear thick gloves, goggles, and a respirator this time, and I'll be doing it outdoors That's a great image my friend, and it's nice to see your Charlie LambGood Morning Guardians
