Certain ingredients required for a BLT are not in this house. Like bacon, lettuce or tomato. I decided to have a toasted scrambled egg sandwich.

I've been noticing some hip pain lately. Plus there's a history of perthes disease in the family.

Dinner time. Don't want pizza, steak, pasta, fish or cheese. This rather narrows the option to a toasted sandwich of some sort.

Are placement battery for the pre-unibody MBP arrived this week. Part of the packaging is a rectangle of sponge foam. It'll be put to use as a boot polish applicator.

There's still something more than mere osteoarthritis afflicting my left knee. The pain & swelling from yesterday is gone but I can feel something grating.

A bit less so now, or perhaps it's just that I've internalised the goat cheddar. Quite literally. A remarkably subtle cheese, quite mild, no real clue other than the packaging that the milk source was goat.

I have goat cheddar, Colby slices, sheep pecorino, sheep blue-vein, four varieties of cows-milk blue-vein & 2 semi-hard sheep cheeses from Australia & Spain. Not many cheesemakers here are allowed to use raw milk, the sheep bloke I visited yesterday is permitted. Recently consumed include goat blue-vein, Colby slices & a cheddar flavoured with ginger & citrus peel.

Very tempted to visit another cheese establishment today, run by the parents of the sheep-cheesemaker I visited yesterday. But I won't. I already have too much cheese in the fridge as it is.

Something worked, probably the anti-gout tablets. There was something more than just osteoarthritis the last few days. Today most pain is gone, swelling is reduced, range of comfortable movement much increased.
