Hot, still and sticky here chez Casa Reynard.

I have spent the morning sorting out gubbins for tomorrow; sat nav, camera, emptying the crud from my backpack etc. I haven't used my backpack for a year (no need, not gone anywhere!), and it got turned into a place where I could just dump random stuff to keep it out of the way.

Also spent some time writing. Hard to concentrate in this heat, though.

Almost time for lunch!

You've not been out with your metal detector in a "nearby field" then.

I don't have a metal detector

My dark green backpack is the perfect place for hiding avocados. I usually only find them when I'm on my way out to the shops again.

It's stopped raining!

Maybe I'll be able to go out on the bike tomorrow?

A bit of rain stopped you cycling?

Might be worth keeping your ear to the ground in the coming days then.

A bit!? More than that.

Came back home from Wales as there was a meeting - then told they's moved my item. Grr. We'd also come back as daughter has been in London with boyfriend's family, but his mum has just tested positive (two jabs). That's my daughter on 10 days isolation again (3rd time).

Carlos Santana's birthday today. One of the greats.

10 miles to the bus stop library and back. Stopped to ask a fellow cyclist if he was OK as he was leaning over his bike and looking at the rear mech.
Turns out that he'd lost a jockey wheel!!

That's my ride up & down looking for it.
Found the jockey wheel for him but not the screw/bolt thingie.

Seen him 'live' many a time! Wonderful guitarist..

Fabulous live. Moonflower one of my most played albums.

Chicken and avocado sandwich, a banana, a nectarine and two for lunch.

It is now overcast and decidedly cooler, but not a sniff of rain. The breeze has definitely picked up though.

By which time they will have ripened nicely.

My dark blue panniers great at hiding face masks, buffs, gloves and leg warmers. And keys.

Avocado's make me feel ill.. I ate too many when I was growing them in the Jordan Valley 🥑 🤮

Pick an avocado and some pecans.. Morning snack.
