Morning.
My brain is a bit like a whizzing ball on a roulette wheel at the moment . It is just settling down from putting rubbish into our dustbin for collection. I have been going through them to sort out what could be recycling, what is definitely rubbish and things which might have found their way in by accident . Whilst I was doing that my mind is wHy our shower head has a brown stain !
Excuse me a moment whilst I have an argument with SWMBO ! She says that it needs rescaling ! My argument is that it should be bright green ! When I cut through any copper pipe they are bright green . Brown would suggest steel somewhere in the system .
Just need to add in on to the list of things to do .

Wet and windy with boats on yellow alert.
Another clearing out day I think.
I forget all sorts of things nowadays. Came on a FB advert yesterday which I had printed out but forgotten.
We sold our old Highwayman motorhome to a garage in Duns, Berwickshire over 200 miles away and saw it a few weeks later passing through Dumbarton. Transpires it had been bought by a somewhat eccentric guy in Oban 21 miles away who had notions of converting it to electric propulsion. Being an electrician specialising in domestic appliances he was capable of doing that. He used to go to jobs as far as 12 miles from Oban on a Brompton but has now gone to an ebike for work.
He never got round to doing the conversion and is now trying to pass it on.

I am glad I don't have any friends called Dominic in my contact list

I think I do.
We used to have grocery stores called that up around Chicago, but I think they are all Jewels/Safeway now.

Chilly, blustery and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well, but am sporting something of a chipmunk look this morning. But I have re-jigged the fridges in the kitchen and utility room, refilled the fruit bowls and the pork belly I bought on Saturday is in the crock pot along with extra lard and a lot of seasoning, being turned into Rilettes de Mans.

I have also done some writing.

It is almost time for luncheon.

Having been fined for driving through one of the new bus gates in Leeds, where the signs were blocked by a parked bus and a bus stop , apparently I'm not the only one.

The £30 fine's being returned to me, having (probably) cost the Leeds council tax payers a lot of in processing payments / processing refunds and (I'm guessing) the court case where it was shown a) the bus gate signs were almost invisible (they state "Although the bus gate is properly signed and lined according to the regulations" ) plus b) "the number of offences remains very high and it is clear that many motorists 'have not understood the new restriction'" - my italics) so it wasn't clearly signposted or communicated .

They're reviewing the scheme, switching the cameras off on Vicar Lane in Leeds plus refunding me the £30 I paid

And in other news I've got to write 12 exam questions. Three questions in and I've run out of ideas
