A sunny but breezy and chilly day here chez Casa Reynard.
Did not sleep well. Only bagged five hours (if that), so have been feeling rather bleurgh. Took a cup of tea back to bed and sat working on the writing and doing some paperwork. Direct e-mail poking has resulted in replies for things that need to get done. The Belgian side of things have replied in decent English, but the UK side of things have replied in Polish. WTF, you couldn't make it up!
At a more appropriate hour I threw some clothes on and worked my way through the chores. The extra task was popping to the village to drop off some stuff in the clothes bank and book exchange.
A lovely luncheon of avocado on toast, a tangerine and a cuppa.
Then, while watching the action from Cheltenham, I carried on doing some mending. Yes, I know it's only gardening clothes, but other than the odd hole which can be either darned or patched, it's all still pretty serviceable.
I felt really cold while doing stuff, so I had a nice hot bath and some time with a good book.
Had a nice supper of spicy egg & vegetable fried rice, made using some stuff that was lurking in the fridge and needed using. Just need to go and do the washing up, now. And feed the cat. She is mithering.
On a nice note, my cake day present to self has turned up. I managed to get my hands on a promotional poster from the Racefest 91 meeting at Brands Hatch, which was headlined by Round 4 of the 1991 British F3000 championship and Round 6 of the BTCC. The meeting organisers had a hundred of these posters made up and then autographed by both Paul Warwick and Tim Harvey. They were sold on a first come, first served basis for £2.
I have the meeting programme (where the poster is mentioned), some timing sheets, the race report and quite a nice collection of photos, and so it's a nice addition to my collection.
