I just got up too quickly and went all oooh!

Perhaps I should put it off to tomorrow ?

Frosty drive to the blood test

I have been out to feed the birds. Whilst I was out there I collected up a few of the feathers from the Wood Pigeon that were left . It looks like they were plucked out .
It could have been a Sparrow Hawk as the garden is very quiet bird wise this morning .

Clear and -15C here today. Catapulting up to a balmy -5C.

I'm not having a very good morning .
It was nice and sunny earlier and I thought it would be nice to go out on my bike . Not now . I'm feeling a bit woozy ! I have stated my usual symptoms . Stomach has started gurgling and if I raise my hand to scratch my head it turns white . I can see a nap coming on soon .

In case anyone ( @Reynard ) wonders what I mean by "patchwork" clothes, this is the sort of thing I have in mind to make.

This is a lightweight jacket for sale on bay of E, but it gives you an idea of the effect I am looking at, using three different fabrics to "lift" a plain black blouse.

Grey and chilly here chez casa Reynard.

I did not sleep well - could do with an extra throw on the bed, that's a job for later. But I spent the morning up and down a ladder troubleshooting the electrics for the garage & utility room. I have now restored the power, and got the fridge and freezer going again. Not sure why the box tripped, maybe it was just one of those random things. Although the plugs were, for some reason, not seated properly in the multi-socket, so could it've been that?

Although paranoid me is going to check everything again in a little while.

In other news, Derek Warwick's boots have arrived.

It is time for luncheon.

I really like that sort of thing @Speicher I'm a jeans-and-fleece person mostly, but that's actually very attractive.

My Panasonic zoom lens reflex camera arrived from New Mexico today. It was in an online auction. I do so love auctions.

I've always discounted Panasonic cameras, but I bought a Lumix TZ100 been very impressed.

I am mostly a comfy trousers and fleece person! Not fond of jeans fabric as it is not soft. I also like my clothes to be on the loose side, without being overwhelmingly baggy.

A further complication is that the operation site under my right arm is very sensitive, so sleeves have to be larger than "normal". If I was going out for a meal with friends, for instance, that top is the sort of thing I would wear. The panels down the front, are also extremely helpful in disguising my lop-sidedness. This is something that I can accept as a "badge" of survival, but try to make it as least obvious as possible.

Talking of sewing I had an accident in a fabric shop yesterday evening.

Lifetime working in noisy environments

I still have power in the garage.

My industrial type super glue is also drying out . It is very thick at the moment . I've had it a few years and I keep it in the fridge .
