I'm sat in a work Teams meeting, after which I have to do a month's work in 3 days, and this thought popped into my head:

"If I miss the meeting, which is essential in order to do the work, can I avoid doing the jobs needed?"

Back from bike ride , sunny with light winds. Just eaten some cranberry bread and now moving onto green tea.

Was it you that mentioned the decaf Yorkshire tea? Think it was. I bought some this morning. Seems just as good as the normal one, although I'm not sure about decaffeinating processes for things. Often use nasty chemicals so I'm not sure how much healthier it is.

Guilty as charged

The birds are definitely starting to sing from the spring songbook. And I've just been to Lidl.

Currently enjoying a large mug of Barleycup. I like it. A dozen jars due to get delivered soon.

I am knackered, l'm taking a break from constructing the stud-work and lining out one of the stables with 2400 x 1200x9mm OSB ....by myself . Except for the useful comments from "s w m b o"

Ah, you're making a stud farm...

Ah, you're making a stud farm...

Heaven forbid, we already have four horses and that is plenty as far as l am concerned

Grey, blustery and showery here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept well, but am rocking the chipmunk look again. But I had a productive morning in the kitchen, and there is a beef ragu simmering away in the crock pot in preparation for tonight's supper.

I have also done some writing.

Am now watching the curling* and keeping an eye on a Bay of E lot that I shall shortly put a bid on.

* I have discovered that one of England's three curling rinks just happens to be in Cambridge.

Oh yes, and Happy Valentine's Day for those who are celebrating.

I'm not, but on the upsides, I don't have to share my chocolates

The bypass hose should be between the water pump and the cylinder head . It was a short piece of hose .

And difficult to get in and out.

Right, luncheon calls...

Mimosa Yellow ! I can remember working on one , I think it was the first spray job I did .
I think my car was made in Speke in Liverpool . I found that the car performed better without oil in the dashpots. When I filled them up with oil the car would be very sluggish . AS the throttle opened the pistons in the dashpots would rise forcing oil out onto the underside of the bonnet .

I gave up topping them up in the end, I seem to recall it wasn't detrimental.

Without goggling it, can you guess how crochet is now part of this year's Winter Olympics?

In other news, do not sit still for too long, or you will be put in the garage. Oh! on second thoughts, @biggs682, while you are in there please take a look at the bicycles.

Frosty and sunny here. It looks like it's going to be a nice week generally.

Scratch that, it's now gerpischening it down.
