I get the feeling it will be my daily wearer for a long, long time: it is a statement piece. The statement is: I am a collector of mechanical watches! Maybe my permanent wearing watch???

The current time has led to more home cooking. So I now know that halibut is a suboptimal fish for forshmak 😉😂 One can of course play with strap combinations... And hopefully there’s more reading on the way... Stay safe and healthy 🤞🏻👍🏻 ...
Halibut looks tasty with some good bread. Do you like the bread lightly toasted ? I really like your Seiko with that strap, it gives it a totally different style. I hope that you and your family are keeping well and staying safe. Best wishes The Captain
As said, the more conventional sardine choice this morning tasted better. And the vegetarian lunch with a spinach, pea and asparagus purée with some halloumi cheese today worked quite well, too 👍🏻

Think there have been discussions about moving permanently to BST, though think in depths of winter some places wouldn't see daylight until gone 9 in the morning.
For Xmas I got my daughter some marble runs (she wanted them & I didnt want any more plastic in the house, and these seemed to fit the bill) which are excellent - so I got a clock for myself - don't expect COSC ratings ;-) Yes - all good here & locked dow...
