Well, actually, it's my "double orange" marmalade @deptfordmarmoset - which is half seville orange, half sweet orange.

Just waiting for the second batch to cook. Now having a and a biskit.

Caught some fish , chips, curry sauce and mushy peas

As I've not needed them all winter I've removed the Winter spikes from the backup bike.

Expect snow, hail, apocalyptic level blizzards and a mini ice age in south Germany next week.

That sounds really good! Steak and dauphinoise potatoes tonight chez Hebe.

I've done that a couple of times. There's an east-west wind which is discouraging me from attempting to go into France.

Think how fast you could get back across the border, if needed though.

I'm okay. No plans at present to head that far south.

It'll be raid the fridge night here chez Casa Reynard after all that marmalading.

Need to feed the furry girls shortly.

Made the mistake of ducking into the politics forum to see what the take was on the current situation.

Let's just say I didn't stay there for very long, and I now require a restorative

 

[Reynard]

That's all the marmalading done for the day. Just need to wash up. Will be making the other lot after the weekend at some point.

I'm thinking fish finger sandwich in a bit - there are still some of those giant fish fingers left in the fridge that I made the other night.

Yesterday and today I attempted to tidy the garage. On Wednesday it was difficult to get to the back of the garage, the garden tools where somewhat jumbled up, and some were unreachable.

Now there is a clear (swept) path one metre wide to the back of the garage, and the garden tools are neat and tidy by the garage door. So if anyone is here and needs to borrow some tools, they can get to the tool cabinet, without any risk of tripping.

I am very pleased, as you can imagine. I can now continue to reduce the "might be useful" one day items, gradually. The house is starting to look much less cluttered.

My problem with that sort of endeavour is that it doesn't stay tidy and uncluttered for long...

 

[Speicher]

I can manage to keep it reasonably tidy. Now there is room to move it is easier to see and remove any unwanted items. There are two pairs of garden shears that need sharpening, and adjusting. Now I can reach the tool box and find the things I need.

Steel racking is the best tip for organising a garage.

Good idea, but I would need to clear lots of space to put them in. The kitchen cupboards from my last house are in the garage. The new occupiers did not want them. So one contains car related items, one for painting and decorating, one for garden seeds, string etc.
