Do they also love 'In the Night Garden'?
Mine did.. Essential viewing for them 🤪

First two did, second two I'm not sure as we didn't look after them as much.

I could cope with ITNG, it had similarities to the Magic Roundabout, in that adult humour could see the funny bits.

Chilly with sunny intervals here chez Casa Reynard.

I having a plumpitty day. Although I have prepared the fruit for another batch of marmalade.

About to have lunch, and then other than topping up the wood bins in the house, I plan on spending the rest of the afternoon working on the Higman model.

as I was passing, saw a young man being arrested at a local hotel. looked like late teens early 20s. I could see that his hands were bound behind his back & he hopped a little so I wonder if his feet were bound or if he had an issue w/ a foot. regardless it all seemed pretty tame. here's hoping he didn't hurt anyone

We needed that result! Injuries though... I hope Lacazette doesn't pick up one because if he did that would be all our brightest players crocked. Smith Rowe, Saka, Martinelli, Odegaard and Tierney (who won't play again this season according to Sky Sports ). Luiz is also injured and Auba has the flu. No mention in the media of an 'injury crisis' though because we aren't Liverpool or Man Utd.

Didn't we just. It's a good shot in the arm. Partey and Lacazette both played a blinder.

The Spuds losing made it even sweeter.

The best fish & chips I ever had was in a chip shop in Yarmouth. They had tables so we decided to eat it there instead of take away. It came on a large oval plate and the piece of cod overhung the plate at both ends! It was beautifully fresh too, what with Yarmouth being so close to the fishing port of Lowestoft. I'll bet it was caught the same day. Ahhhh.... memories...

yeah some things are best fresh & freshly cooked. we've experimented with take-out for seafood & it's just not the same

I have got a screw loose.I am up early to see if Specsavers can replace the screw that fell out of my glasses.So a walk into Headingley may be on the cards.

here's hoping you didn't lose your marbles on the way

after work yesterday, took to the couch for a fake nap & watched the last hour of the "Masters". I don't usually watch golf, but when I do, I enjoy it. bonus that it was a championship. so fun watching sports, when you're watching the best players

Apparently, non-essential shops are open from today in England. I've only had about 80 emails from numerous shops to tell me of this in the last 5 hours.

Now, to spend a few hours unsubscribing... then I'll have a word with certain family members this evening about unticking the marketing option when buying stuff using my email address.

I'm sat out barbecueing, I feel much less angry with myself now. Spilling tea on a laptop keyboard at the days start does not set a person up for enjoying a day of strong sunshine.
While I should have been out enjoying the day I was stuck inside doing my penance. Stripping the thing down to components and drowning them in many litres of demineralised water followed by a litre of isopropyl.
I'll put it back together tomorrow and cross my fingers and toes.

I left it all on a heat mat set to 23C and willfully ignored it. Picking up where I left off I reassembled it all today and it works, happy days and keep my money in my pocket. Without Lenovo's very detailed assembly/disassembly knowledge base I probably would have been in angry mode with left over M2 screws, happy days.

Lunch ride earlier and saw a few pubs with their beer gardens open and fairly full. Flipping BB is still clicking on the old MTB. Was a bit too 'free running' and slightly rough when I deep cleaned the bike, so just been to order another. Very little stock anywhere. UN55 level BB, 73x110mm

Ended up with the new UN300 with 73 x 113 - I won't notice 1.5mm either side. SJS Cycles to the rescue. They had a Tange BB at 73 x 110.5mm, but I'll stick with the Shimano - it's survived a hard life so far.

Stock isn't good on parts.

Cutting out ribs for the Higman's rear wing. I need 28 - 10 pairs plus two of four layers of card, as the latter need to take a bracket.

But my eyes have gone with the small parts, so time to knock off for a and a biskit.

Sat outside the national cycling centre waiting for a bike pick-up and a track session.

I hear you.

The most small bits I had to deal with thus far was for this wagon: I think it was about 196 parts in total for the upright sections...

I said not to build your hopes up too much !
My daughter made some cup cakes for us to decorate with some pink icing and eyes . He is a 3 year old so nothing complicated . We made a circle of icing to cover the top of the cake , a round blob for the snout, 2 more flattened blobs for ears and then popped 2 eyes on . I will download some pictures later .
