Morning .
I am a bit snively this morning. I think it's the cider fects of the jabs I had yesterday. My left shoulder is sore , I had both jabs there . I already have a painful right shoulder so I didn't want one in there .

Take more para cider mol....!

Looks like Royal Mail are on strike most of November !

The curtain wire is a bust for the steering wheel. The length is too small to get an even join, even with a reinforcing wire inside to try and hold things together. But I have found (and yes, I do keep such things as they are handy) the cardboard core from a roll of cling film that happens to be the right diameter. If I can cut either two thin sections or one thicker one with out the thing fraying, it might just do the job.

Sounds like a job for a bacon slicer.

I was unexpectedly busy yesterday. This has led to me declaring an early Saturday.

Is that a Monotorium or a Unilateral Declaration?
Are we going to have two Sundays then?

Just "taxed" the little Aygo for 12 months £20. Costs me that per month for my older car !

PS DVLA email says 'Vehicle Tax' all over it.

It's an unilateral dayclaration but feel free to join in. I might have my Sunday tomorrow because I suspect I'm going to be busy. Friday on Sunday then?

Afternoon normal service will resume from now onwards.
Blue sky and breezy here

I looked up the website of my preferred alcohol free beer and learned that they make more than one version and also that I can get it delivered in bulk for less cost than buying at Sainsbury’s every week. Which will minimise those awkward conversations when there’s only one can left and we both want a school night beer.

Okay? Saturday today, Sunday tomorrow, then Monday, and another Monday. I will have a cup of coffee before deciding what to do todaymorrow.

My old Suzuki Swift is only £30 a year, I've had the E-Mail to say the MOT is due and the text from the garage to say the service is due.

British Gas are being totally useless. MIL passed away a few months back, so all bank accounts have stopped. We don't have legal right to the property yet as probate is 'in progress'. Despite them being told about MIL passing, my wife is getting weekly 'welcome to your new house, so now pay us' letters every week. She's phoned them numerous times. Latest letter is 'debt collectors'.

Like to see you try as we don't own the house and the owner is dead !

The weather forecast said 0.4mm of rain today yet I find myself sitting in a cafe with a pool of water around my feet and about half a gallon of rain water in each shoe. I may have been given incorrect information

Mild, very blustery and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard, with rain due to move in from mid afternoon.

I slept really well (overslept actually, oops!) and have spent the morning peeling and chopping a mountain of tomatoes. After luncheon I will make a big cauldron of a basic Sicilian tomato sauce as taught to my by a bloke I knew at uni. I can then keep it in the fridge to use as and when.

Other plans for this afternoon includes picking yet more tomatoes. They're not really ripening outside now, but will spread them out on a cardboard tray and keep them in the hallways with the other apples and tomatoes - I still have one empty tray left. I am not confident that will be enough.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

The carpets in the two newly-decorated bedrooms have been cleaned (for anyone in S. Yorks I can recommend a company), plus the stairs/landing. As they've to dry I can't put furniture back in, so that's a job avoided for today

However, the lights are in now downstairs and I've just the stereo speakers to cable back; it's a complex system with 5 speakers and a range of Hi-Fi / AV kit that SWMBO and myself have gathered over the years. SWMBO uses it rather than me.

Oh, and once that's done I can continue setting up the new 'training zone' in the conservatory, having been told that using the dining room is now a no-go since son no. 2 left. Some things I'll argue, some things it's better to avoid or risk and
