Anyways, chutney made. Time to put my supper in the poppity ping.

Am watching England U21 v Germany U21

Morning.
They used to say that money doesn't grow on trees!
Well how come there is an International Money Tree Fund ?

The banks no longer have many branches. A lot of people are feeling br oak.

Another dry start to the day but bitterly cold with the north wind we currently have.
When it changes to SW then the rain comes as well. Can't win.
Need to take a morning sample up to the surgery so that may be the extent of today's excitement unless I gather my self together and get out on the trike after lunch.

My banging yesterday wasn't going how I wanted . It is a larger piece and was curling up where it shouldn't have or not where I wanted it to . I left it and will take a look at it later.

It sounds more like a fight than using an app. Maybe you shouldn't be using a spreadsheet for a purpose it wasn't designed for.

My last job, when I joined, they were using Excel as a database, it didn't work well.

What is it there for, if not that?

back to work day, then dentist!

Both my sons had to go to High School in Oban from age about 12 years old. They stayed in a school hostel under some supervision from Monday till Thursday and came home after school on Friday unless the ferries were off because of bad weather. Some parents were very upset about their precious offspring being away from home but we thought it was quite good to give them a taste of the wider world in a gradual way as they would eventually have to go away if at all academic either to university or for work.

You'd have probably gone grey if you'd seen what they got up to.

BP a bit high but I seem to suffer from what used to be called white coat syndrome. No idea why this should be as I do not feel nervous and am well rested before getting done.

My wife suffers from WCS, on one occasion she was told she had produced the highest BP reading they'd ever seen. They did have the sleeve over her cannula tho.

Cool, breezy and occasionally showery here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well, aided by a purry furry hot water bottle. Nose is now bunged rather that dripping, but I'm still sneezing for England and i've a thumping headache. Will do a test later just to check I'm not harbouring any nasties. Anyways, have made a lovely big pot of leek & potato soup. Will definitely enjoy some for supper.

I had planned some bike time this afternoon to check on the walnut crop, but feel much too grotty to cycle about 12-odd miles. Will use the car to get to where I need to go instead, as some time spent outdoors will help clear my head. Just need to wrap up warm.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

 

[Reynard]

Lovely luncheon of two slices of sourdough toast, one with chicken & stuffing, one with cheddar and the pan scrapings from yesterday's chutney making (the chutney is very apple-y, btw), along with a minneola, some blueberries and two

Covid test came up negative.

 

[Reynard]

Right... Trip to the little girls' room, wrap up warm and tootle off walnutting.

Will drop off a slice of blackberry & apple upside down cake at a friend's place on my way out. She'll enjoy that with a coffee when she gets back from work later in the evening.

Went out by car this morning and rain started again but stopped as soon as I had decided not to go out on the trike.
Tomorrow looks to be less cold and lighter wind so hopefully may manage to get some exercise but after that looks to be back to high winds and rain but not so cold.
Heard a crash in the kitchen and found the nail on which I hang a pan had come out for no apparent reason. It has been there for a few years with no problems so drilled a hole and put in a bigger hook which should outlast me.
