I have made a decision due to rain falling and predicted to continue for most of the day I will forego my early am ride and continue to snuggle up to Mrs b once I have had a nice🍵 .

I shall miss the miles but hey ho

That looks like a sound decision. Sleety wetness with an easterly wind here.

I work with freight so very much so for the European traffic. Whoever wrote the rules took the best bits of the way we did things up to Dec 31st and the best bits of the way we used to do things before the free movement of cargo began around 25 years ago and threw them away leaving the worst of both regimes. Stupid things such as physical paperwork having to accompany goods at all times, ignoring the now widespread use of email and electronic documents.

I'll leave the arguements for and against for the N&CA section as I have to stay neutral if I want to keep my job for a bit longer.

It does seem to make the deal a bit of a farce !

I can't get the BBC website on my kindle, nor can I get iPlayer on my TV.

It's very windy outside, a wheelie bin has gone over.

Garden birdwatch shortly.

Well our black bin has finally been emptied only 2 days late .
Got imho the worst job ever to do today

Note to self - remember to cancel the divert of the work's phone to my personal mobile when on rest days. Hopefully the boss of the freight firm who phoned my office number for info regarding ships spares in transit didn't notice the echoes that the smallest room in the house can produce!

What you need is a modern system, that you could have undiverted the phone remotely

You're coming to my house to fit my windscreen in my kitcar?

The wonder tool that should make the removal easier doesn't work

It works and was always an alternative given to buying the packets of braids in the period after Christmas. Used if someone wanted a cheap(free) repair as well.

Dry here, but chilly and blowing a hoolie of an easterly here chez Casa Reynard.

As the saying goes, when the wind is in the east, t'is neither good for man nor beast. Ergo we're curled up indoors with no intention of going outside whatsoever.

Today is going to be spent listening to and watching assorted bits of football, and working on the drawings for the Higman model. Been thinking about how it needs to fit together, and have come to the conclusion that I need to have ALL the parts worked out before I start the build. This is because it looks like I'll have to build from the bottom up rather than the top down to stop the bumpers, side irons and their respective mounts from being damaged.

So for my pains, I'll now need to work out what is going on "below the waterline" from some very ropey photos.

Rode to Birkin Fisheries today (local-ish ). It was cold and floody - my 16yo left me behind on the way back but missed a turn/diversion, and arrived after me having ridden into the flood
