I've added another page to my blog.

Fascinating read, Carl. I should be working you know.....

As an aside, what effect does oxalic acid have on paint?

Thanks, Don't know about paint, I didn't it use it on the frame only on the metalwork. I think @Drago knows about using it on piantwork.

@Reynard is up and about...look out.

And suitably armed with a chainsaw... Spent the morning cutting down the standard greengage that Storm Erik wrecked while passing through.

That was bloomin' hard work - especially extracting the bit that was left dangling in a neighbouring apple tree.

Just had lunch: a crusty roll, some camembert, smoked turkey and the last of the lox. Plus some grapes, a tangerine and two

Now settling down to catch up with the paperwork I should have done over the weekend but had an attack of the CBA instead...

It's very spring-like here chez Casa Reynard. The snowdrops in the wood look a right treat in the sunshine. Winter aconites are just about done flowering now, but here and there the odd daff is looking like an eager beaver.

If this mild weather persists, then another couple of weeks should see the blackthorn and cherry plums starting to come out in blossom.

I’ve been on the phone to the children of Satan to negotiate a new broadband package.

I have also baked a loaf of bread.

I have just finished servicing the headset on my Trek road bike.

Seeing how it is such a wonderful day today.Mr and Mrs Postman went to 'arrogate,and to Betty's oh my word how nice how genteel,'arrogate was so sedate so relaxed unlike Leeds which always seems to be going at 100mph.Betty's was a thing of beauty a wonderful visit.

Mrs Postman has just tried to get through to Virgin media.It seems our area has a major problem at the moment with signals,so no one will pick up the phone..We are trying to demand a new Tivo box as ours is on the blink,but the sheethawks won't even answer the phone what sort of service is that to the customers,they could be one conversation from losing the custom of us.and we have been with them since the Ark was built.but you don't get any offers for your loyalty.

How'd tha bake a loaf on the phone?

 

[Gravity Aided]

You short out the battery. That makes shortbread.

Off to the Co-op for 4 pints of milk.

I might have a poke around in the yellow sticker cabinet as well...

Wasn’t sure what to have for tea tonight, sausage sandwiches or steak and ale pie, mash and onion gravy. I went for the latter.
