You know "The Butterfly Effect!"
Well I can see this becoming ridiculous!
It started off with a leaking seal ! Now it looks like a new toilet suite ! The next thing will be that in removing the cistern a tile breaks ! Unable to get another it will be that the tiles will have to be replaced !

Wait until you find out the foundations were built over an old pagan burial ground. The leaking seal will be mere piffle.

Well, might as well resign yourself to building the new shower room. Whilst you are in the loft, finding electricity or water. Not together is a good hint. Top up the loft insulation.

Oh and the water that escapes will mean you have to paint that wall downstairs. Might as well do the whole room. Makes the hall look a bit scruffy.....

I'll take your word for it - I'm too short to ride one comfortably

Same here. I can't ride one, full stop.

It's started raining heavily here. I'm indoors, nice and dry.

However, son no. 2 is out training. And he eschewed my suggestion of a rain jacket

If it helps I'm having the same problem with a SRAM gear set I thought was fixed but now looks like it'll take most of the afternoon because of a me forgetting to tighten one screw, which small problem has now mushroomed into several attempts, each of which failed a different way. The final was a part failing, which I'm now trying to fix with two-part glue.

On the basis of the Butterfly Effect I'm assuming that it's all your fault by creating the negative energies. Or something. It feels better than admitting it's my inexperience with this gear system...

I had to repair my Biro with Sellotape.

Grey and humid here chez Casa Reynard, and it rained a lot overnight.

I overslept. Oops. But I was cream crackered after yesterday, so that's my excuse. But I *have* done a load of laundry and have spent the morning ensconced in front of Photoshop. I recently acquired a set of black & white slide scans from the 1986 Formula Ford Festival, but the person who scanned them didn't check the slides or scanner for dust, so I am now spending time removing dust spots. Tedious, but has to be done.

There are also artefacts on the images that I suspect might have been dust on the original photographer's lens, as they're in the same place on each frame. I remember one memorable day shooting at Rockingham with a cat hair lodged on the camera's sensor... Always carried a little rubber bulb with a soft brush on the end after that.

Am planning a bicycular bimble this afternoon, but given the forecast, I will not be straying far from home. Might go down O Furlong to look for blackberries. It'll be sod's law that if I go out I'll catch a shower, if I stay put, it won't rain at all.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

 

[Reynard]

Two slices of toast for luncheon, one with corned beef and tomato chutney, one with some nicely squishy Chaource cheese, plus some cherry tomatoes, a minneola, a nectarine and two

Going to do some photoshopping while that lot tamps down a bit, then I need to hang out the laundry and decide whether to go for a bimble or not. The cloud cover has lifted some, so we shall see.

already had 2 muffins not in my plan! ugh

it'll be invigorating!

Daughter starts her new job today!

Mom & I miss her around the house because she is now leaving thru the front door of her own apt in a neighboring state!

I believe today is Barbie Doll Day. Yesterday was Samosa Day. Mimosa Day is May 16.

Ahh. My friend called the first day back to school Mimosa Day because that's what all the mums were drinking by the pool after dropping off the kids...

 

[Hebe]

I really like the idea of Samosa Day

 

[postman]

The pizza at Wetherspoons was not to my liking.I only ate half,it arrived cool,the table next to us had eight people some form of meeting,i think they must have pre ordered cos i never saw them order before us,we ordered just before a rush,so i think my order got mixed in with theirs.The middle was soggy and a bit flourery,how can you make a mess of a pizza.

 

[Reynard]

I did go out for a nice bimble in the company of Wiggy #2, the Chartres. Only 4 and a bit miles in the end, but I am half a pannier of apples and a 300g tub of blackberries to the good. The blackberries are tiny but delicious.

It did spit and spot with rain, but the showers seemed to slide by either side of me.

Madam Lexi has now plonked herself on my jersey and rain jacket.
