Residents of Hundred Acre Wood are worried by an announcement that funds have been approved to increase the population of tigers.

Does all the money go to the tigers or do they only get the lions' share?

Only a cheetah would take money from a tiger.

Warm and grey here chez Casa Reynard, with the chance of thunderstorms.

Slept well - overslept actually - but I have a walloping headache. Probably the combination of the change in air pressure and the ridiculously high pollen count. At least the meds have got the hayfever symptoms under control; I feel so much better now that I'm back on my usual dosage.

Did a load of laundry this morning, though I've yet to go and winkle it out of the machine. I've also done some writing and some painting. I'm still struggling with the aftermath of having deleted a large chunk of this chapter by accident, but I think I'm finally ironing out the wrinkles one by one.

I have a bit of kitchen work to do this afternoon. Some veg wants prepping for this evening, and I'm going to cook the pork ribs I bought on Sunday as I can't get them in the freezer. They come with a pouch of BBQ glaze, but I shall keep that for something else, as the intention is to divert the ribs into a Chinese.

It is almost time for luncheon.

Ever wondered how they put roofs up on these mega buildings / factories nowadays?
No, I didn't think so... but I will show you anyway.

There are huge rolls of roofing membrane in that trailer, a machine pulls it across the huge expanse of roof and welds it to the previous sheet.
Clever stuff ,

Now that's really rather cool.

I keep reading HCB as Henri Cartier Bresson, every single time. And I ADORE hot cross buns…

As someone who also knows who Henri Cartier Bresson is without having to go and look it up, I have to admit I had a damn good giggle.

No more buns left here, that was the last one. But I do have a good supply of YS teacakes...

Might bob out with the bike and take a few piccys later (not HCB) standard of course
It's just a bit chuffin warm though, so cricket until tea then drag myself out.

My view for a while whilst lunch at Raw Interiors (pizza, juice) goes down - I'm guessing @classic33 recognises it?
