Great, all wood collected from neighbour (without use of his quad bike), took all morning. Stacked and ready for cutting and splitting, a job for another day methinks. Having a sit down now, please can someone wake me in an hour?

Cause he is a smelly cat

Chilly outside

Overcast, breezy and chilly here chez Casa Reynard. And it's attempting to snow again.

Did some general puttering around this morning and worked on my model. Lunch shortly, and then I will make a big cauldron of oxtail soup.

The wonders of Parcelforce! 2 hours after my delivery failed to arrive, their tracking system reported an insufficient address, a long battle with an automatic but aurally-challenged phone system and finally a human being's promise of a call back from someone else, it arrived. The deliverer announced as I met him: ''I knew where you are!'' The insufficient address thing was a work around for their daft routing system that doesn't work properly.

Anyhow, as a change from beer deliveries from Bristol, this lot came from North Brewing in Leeds. They have relocated almost to @postman territory. If lockdown ever runs out of not thises and not thats, I'm going to go and explore. Free drinks to postie if he can make it down to Buslingthorpe Lane when I come.

My, it's brisk out there! The lady at the checkout when I went for supplies saw my panniers and looked at me like I was deranged. She couldn't believe I'd cycled nearly 5 miles on a bike in this temperature with snow still on the ground. Quite sad I thought in one way.

It occurred to me whilst I was making my cheese salad sandwich how difficult it would be if I only had use of one arm. Strange stuff pops in my head sometimes.

@Kempstonian has them.

I wish! I've only seen two or three since last summer. They will be back through, I expect.

You've got me thinking that I haven't heard our local male since the beginning of this cold snap.

This morning I have seen bluetit, blackbirds, sparrows, dunnocks, magpie and the ever present pigeons. I also saw what looked like a robin but it was at the top of the garden and I only got a brief glimpse.

So nothing out of the ordinary today (so far).

Put new brake shoes on the bike today. Changed rear inner tube as tyre was flat.
