Warm, still and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept well, and then spent the morning with a friend and her dogs bimbling around the community orchard and the local nature reserve. Blissfully, a lot of it is well-shaded, but had loaded up with sunblock, a hat and a bottle of water. Just as well, because it was hot and I was thirsty. Was great setting the world to rights though, and the dogs are always pleased to see me.

I have also swapped a box of early plums for 10 fresh free-range eggs.

Am planning on having a quiet afternoon. Mainly doing some writing and, if I'm in the mood, maybe finish assembling the mower.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

I've just cut the grass, or what grass there is.

I sometimes wonder how many times my neighbour can drive around the block in the world's noisiest 1.0L Corsa without getting bored.

I'd like a few minutes alone under the bonnet to carry out a few tweaks

Although l haven't been
roadworthy today due to self inflicted injuries ( as described earlier today) , l have found a worthwhile project , this being the wrapping of bars courtesy of the esteemed Mr B. and bar tape courtesy of someone in the peoples republic of China. So not a wasted day, despite my best attempt to break a bone or two.
Voila !!

Gaze upon the mighty LOOK ...".a thing of beauty is a joy forever".

On the phone to my Internet Preventer trying to arrange a time to get connected in the new apartment. The queueing system has an irritatingly bouncy tune which keeps getting broken with very bad static that sounds like a train running past.

This is not increasing my faith in their technical competence.

Just for you.

OK, so I have to ask. Did anyone read Explorers Awheel by Garry Lester Hogg?

Mavic SUP double eyelet rims...maybe they bulge a little where the spokes are attached ?

I am entertaining a gentle bicycular bimble.

Having bombed about the village for an hour, I'm finally registered at the new address, which is legally required here, and I and have a standing order set up to pay the rent.

It has to be said a bicycle is an incredibly efficient way to travel within a few kilometres; I couldn't have got all the forms and signatures together that fast even if I was driving a car between the offices.

Of course, having a system of local government offices and banks helps a lot in this...
