I could retire but do two days a week to give me a kind if structure around the week. I treat as a bit of social life (there's some lovely people where I 'work') ruined by them making me drive a truck around the area.
If I do many more days I lose a lot of it in tax so it's not worth it.

Just travelled back to Freiburg from Stuttgart. This is complicated by 2 factors:

1: The current, massive programme of rebuilding going on to get the network up to speed, meaning there are lots of replacement bus services.

2: The existence of the Black Forest.

Still, it was a very pretty, if rather slow two hours riding on the train through the hills...

Lunchtime stroll completed
Grey but dry

I can but SWMBO says I can't yet. However, there's redundancies at my university so it may be forced upon me.

However, retiring would mean less new bikes/ bike parts.

You could always get yourself a wand and a wizard hat, and become a consultant.

Have any of you seen my spare bike lock?

A mild, grey and drizzly day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well, and lady issues are now subsiding. Spent the morning in the company of a good friend and her dogs walking on some local trails. Some of them are still a bit squelchy in places, but are now passable. We haven't done this particular walk since the autumn as a result of all of this rain.

Local news says that according to Anglia Water, there won't be a hosepipe ban in the summer after the wettest 18 months on record.

Said friend has also agreed to re-home some of the salamis and chorizos I bought on Monday.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon and someone wants their chicken.

I used to do that. Could do it again, but would prefer not to.

I see the National Trust are getting some stick over it's scones. Think most are missing the point if the NT could bake in the first place it would be start. Only ever been with outlaws and every time it's been like eating cardboard.
