I've used small keyring rings (those double steel hoops) to replace tabs before, successfully I might add

Who on earth designs fleece jackets WITHOUT pockets 
? I should have known there was a reason the current one was at the back of the wardrobe.
I think a hot chocolate is called for, followed by watching the F1 qualifying.

Yes, I've done that too and what I will do here.

It's been a raw, soggy and squelchy day here chez Casa Reynard.
I did not sleep well, and so feel rather meh. Got the basic chores out of the way this morning - firewood, emptying the ashes and kitchen peelings, litter trays, restocking the fruit bowls, all that sort of stuff.
Lovely luncheon of a chicken sandwich, a pear and a
Had a nice quiet afternoon parked in front of the TV, watching the horse racing. Then at tea time, off into town to check out some things / pick up some bits in peacocks, B&M and Waitrose.
Peacocks was a bit of a bust - their website is cheaper than in-store. Never mind, I shall wait to chance my arm in the sales instead. B&M was almost completely successful. They were sold out of their Garfield cat litter (corn based, similar to the Benek Corn I was buying on Zooplus), so had to get some Hello Kitty betonite stuff instead. Clumping is the way to go, as it's much more scoopable. And I find cats don't really like the wood or paper pellets. That said, I got the insulating strips I need to finish off draught-proofing the kitchen windows, a wooden curtain pole to install a portiere on the sitting room door, and a pair of Christmassy jimjams that were less than half the price of the ones in Peacocks.
Popped into Waitrose for my favourite Menthos peppermint sweets (Tesco stopped stocking them) and some of their own-brand Gold leaf tea. Also picked up some corned beef on sticker, and some dry aged beef trimmings on sticker. So pretty successful.
A comforting supper of the last of the bacon, veg & barley soup, then avocado on toast, with roast tomatoes, baked beans, and a fried egg plonked on top.
A quiet evening is planned.

Glad you know that trick already, a guy on a campsite showed me it when the zip on my tent went and it had one of those sliders that lock until you lift it.....................Temporary bodge is a paperclip.

And it's time for me to bank the fire for the night and trot off upstairs to bed via a nice hot bath.

That was well done. I just read your ride/ trip / adventure! 100 miles a day on a bike! Doing that in my car day after day would get a visit from the fairies. I wouldn't know where to start. Oh possibly Lands End or Jon O' Groats!
A very interesting read and very well done to you!
