Shall I go for a ride or not ?
Tis a bit foggy though ?

Ended up doing 13 miles and the fog was ok thankfully.
Garden birds have been fed.
First cuppa ready to go

I can smell something really sweet but can't pin it down

Morning .
Our night's sleep was a bit disturbed . I took pity on Georgie and left the doors open so that he could come and go as he wished during the night . I gave him a big cuddle before I went to bed . He was purring so much that he started to dribble . He settled down and went to sleep and so did we . During the night there were several times when he climbed over us , I gave him some strokes to try to settle him down but he decided to go downstairs. This morning we had our early morning wake up ! He jumped up onto the bed . Not satisfied with a stroke he decided to use guerilla tactics by diving under the duvet and attacking my feet . I took the hint and got up and gave him his breakfast . I think he is getting better .

That'll my the leek & potato soup that was in the slow-cooker overnight. I ladled some out to add a bit of cornflour to thicken it..
The fragrance must have wafted down the A45 and up your hooter 👍

Leek & potato soup for breakfast (see above)
It's bed stripping day, today.

Small scratch that weakened the glass at one point/area, then spread.
Or, the glass went in uneven and the stress has built up over time. Combined with a weak point, and it can give at anytime.

The glass had been there for several years before giving way. Like all sorts of things the price of new ones has gone up considerably.😠

My Dad's Transit Connect has 267,000 on the original engine and gearbox. A bit rust prone but Ford's are usually pretty decent mechanically in my experience.

I had a transit for a while. Load of problems caused by bad design, one of which was a flexible joint in the exhaust system which blew at regular and inconvenient intervals. The transit forum was also full of complaints often "how do I get this bl---y thing to start on a cold morning?" which was one of my problems. I parked on a hill and often had to bump start. The rest of the day was fine but first thing was always a worry.

Overcast but dry so far. The forecast says sunny with a NE wind so I had better get the garden sorted a bit more.
Tomorrow has a light S wind which suits me better for cycling but northerly winds for a while after that.

Why do we get the blame for him feeling poorly?
I got attacked this morning . After eating his breakfast he disappeared . I eventually found him hiding under our bed . I coaxed him out using a trail of treats so that I could catch him so that he could have his medicine .
He is now hiding behind the settee.

Molly 🐱 is currently hiding too after being back to the vet to check how her mouth is healing after 3 extractions. Still not totally happy with it so she's back again next Friday. Poor thing is only used to me and is terrified every time she has to go.

A Windows 95 installation CD was in the middle of the music CDs in the charity shop. I wonder is there a collectors market for old software!

I walked the girl to the school bus stop then did my third couch to 5k run of the week as the journey home. Aching a little bit after yesterday’s swim.

sending gentle fusses to Georgie, Bonnie, Molly and all the poorly/recovering mundane news kitties and their patient humans….
