Of course the black enamel had gone into hiding but I remember it was distinctly glossy while the pedal ends are neither glossy or matt.

Back into town with the car wipers needing to be exercised but no enamel paints to be found on sale.

Felt sorry for a cyclist held at a set of temporary lights getting a drenching and plainly unprepared for a downpour with white jersey turning transparent and water dripping off their shirts

Theres an on line model shop called Jamlam who send all orders post free regardless of value. Tin of satin black ordered.
Frizinghall Models in Shipley had none?

It's been a warm, humid and blustery day here chez Casa Reynard, with the odd rain shower squeezed in.

Did not sleep well on account of a sinus flare-up. The side of my face feels like it's been kicked by a horse, although painkillers are keeping the edge off. I think I've shifted the blockage, but we'll see.

Went downstairs, fed the cat, made myself a :cuppa: and took it upstairs to do some writing. I'm having fun putting together a new venue - the house of one of my main characters. I had thought "modern converted barn" but the more I add detail, the more it's morphing into grey stone farmhouse with flagstone floors and an aga in the kitchen.

Did the chores at a better hour, and then had an early luncheon of avocado on toast and a small pot of tea.

After, took myself off into town. Found a nice quiet spot to leave the car where I didn't need to clock watch, and then walked down to the river to have a mooch around the antiques centre. Fancied ogling the watches and bling, although there wasn't really anything that captured my attention. Although there was a very nice man's Universal Geneve "Polerouter" in one cabinet.

After, popped to Tesco for milk, butter, onions and eggs. And some petrol for Colin. Picked up some nice bread and rolls on YS.

Have had a quiet evening watching the snooker and listening to Villa v Arsenal.

Supper was pasta with tomatoes, basil and ricotta.

I now need to wash up.

I got that. didn't understand binging at a repair shop or is that a TV show?

Yeah, it's a TV show where people bring stuff to be mended. Some of the stories behind the items are quite interesting, but what grabs me more is watching the craftspeople at work.

My dad ran an upholstery and leather goods workshop when I was little, so I grew up watching people work with fabrics, leather, wood and metal.
