@Illaveago Reading the Grauniad.. There's your problem

I just thought I would read it to see their opinion of it . I thought they were talking a load of things you put your oars in !

Grey miserable morning and set to get worse. Viz at the moment is about half a mile but getting better as the rain gets heavier.
Never got to the dump yesterday with some rubbish nor the farm shop either.
Did get as far as the Calmac office to book a trip next week to the optician then gave up as too wet to bother any further. At least it was easy to park at the pier office.
Try again today to get to farm shop but the vultures have probably been there before me now and nothing left.

Grey here too but much milder. Good timing as I've got my long bike commute of the week tomorrow and it's through very minor lanes so nice to have no ice risk.

Do any fellow mundaners have any experience /thoughts using studded tyres in winter, as with no car am keen to be able to keep going in all weathers...are they more for snow than ice?

I've never used ice or studded tyres but have been out on icy snowy rides. I survived without them but I can see why they're a good idea.

Second cuppa has gone down well
Jam and toast went down well
Fluffy clouds and blue sky

I'm on a 171. Downstairs is busy and few are wearing masks. Upstairs is quiet and there's only 1 person who's not wearing a mask.

I just chucked the last of my St Agur into the last of the eggs. Cheesy scrambled eggs are great!

Sausage rolls for lunch..
Not decided on dinner, yet. I'll have to rummage through the freezer and see what takes my fancy.

I've just come to the conclusion that SW France is not far enough south for me it is snowing here !! Has the world gone mad

is that where ppl talk about "the South of France" meaning beaches?

Mild and grey here today chez Casa Reynard.

A friend swung by this morning to pick up the rest of the Sheba cat food that my two little darlings refuse to eat. She has twelve cats, and only two of them won't eat the stuff. I re-jigged the cat food cupboard as a result.

I've also brought in the ingredients for tonight's supper and sorted out the tools I need for this afternoon's bit of DIY. Have also filled the log bins in the house.

My green wheelie bin hasn't been collected yet.

Anyways, it's almost time for luncheon.

We've been to the Moon and back !

It's the furthest the Jag has been for a while !

I've put some frost-fleece around my two Cordyline Australia's and Fire Vine.

 

[Reynard]

Had two slices of bread & butter, one with confit of duck, one with stilton and chutney, a tangerine, half an avocado and two

Off to do a bit of DIY before I get a serious case of CBA...

Grey, wet and windy here all day so I haven't been out for my perambulation today. 3pm and it is almost dark!

I've read a ridiculous amount of books in the past month or so but am bored now with reading. An afternoon browsing Ebay and mentally planning projects.
