Next job is to fit and synchronise our new door bell , as it involves reading instructions might leave swmbo to do that part

And that was easy as well , so going to quit whilst on a roll

Grey and drizzly here chez Casa Reynard. It did brighten up a while back, but didn't last long.

Have spent the morning writing and doing some general puttering around. I have also wrapped and packaged a birthday present, which I will stick in the post tomorrow on my way to get my booster. The recipient's birthday isn't till next week, but thanks to all the additional bank holidays, I have to send it sooner rather than later.

This afternoon's task is splitting a load of logs. I still have enough in the garage to last for a few days yet, but dunno how rough I'm going to feel after my stabby jabby. Given how I felt after my two primary shots, I'm expecting to feel decidedly off colour for a while.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.

Yes , it’s quite mild at the moment, 8C. The colder months in UK are generally Feb / March

I'm descaling my coffee machine.

 

[Reynard]

Had a nice chunk of pork pie, followed by bread & butter and a lovely ripe brie with truffle, a pear, an orange and two

Am now heading off to go smack some logs with an axe.

Cheese and piccalilli roll for tea, today..

 

[Reynard]

Right, that's about half a cubic meter of logs split. Am really feeling it.

Time to sit back and chill for the rest of the day.

 

[postman]

Right time to get looking in the understairs cupboard for my overshoes .
It could be fun it could be stressful

If you can't find them,a young Mr Potter at Hogwarts might have tjem,they make good quidditch shoes I hear.

A series of giant puddles on an unknown track and my decision to ride through them this afternoon didn't end well. The puddles turned out much deeper than believed, with water going over the axles on my cross bike. Didn't fall off though, or put a foot down.

But I did get wet feet

Better than me then as when I did something similar my wheels kept turning but forward movement stopped and I toppled over still pedalling with feet attached to the pedals. Fortunately landed on a grass tuffock but getting detached from the bike was not easy. The audience laughed like drains but did not help as too mucky.

Covidiot at work, coughing badly for about 2 weeks, no face mask, no test - "I'm vaccinated". Right, ok.
Few days ago he's been tested finally (I don't care if somebody had to knock him out to do this).
Positive.
And because he's been around everybody we're having a nice outbreak of covid at work.

I declare our turkey has all gone now along with the Christmas pudding
Next to start on are the biscuits
Back to work tomorrow
But a day off on Thursday

I need to buy a new diary , my old one will run out soon . I use it mainly for recording my cycle rides and rides in my Jag . By the looks of it it might not need the first couple of weeks .

They'll be cheaper in a week anyway.

Virgin uses BT's ducting for their cables. So there will end up being a conversation between the two once they've found the problem.

Not round here they didn't.
Northern Power were out again yesterday fixing another fault created by the company who did the work.
