Lung worm?

And Liverpool is getting Eurovision!

Seems appropriate.

Day full of little things to do that preclude a long bike ride. So once the crumble is out of the oven I shall do a short (very short) ride instead. Then I shall have a coffee.

Walking back from the shops this morning and passed a long hedge with several hundred bees buzzing around. The hedge is interwoven with Ivy blossom.

Done a few jobs to earn me brownie points for a ride tomorrow! Where shall I go!!

Warm, blustery and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept well. Sorted though the stored apples this morning, and made a big pot of vegetable soup. Not the soup I'd intended to make as I'm clean out of red lentils. I normally don't run out of stuff, so feeling rather miffed. I suspect the last time I went to buy some they were out of stock, and then I forgot to put them on the list for next time, and well, I don't really cook soup during the summer...

Anyways, they ARE on the shopping list for next time.

Had a lovely luncheon of two slices of wholemeal toast, one with cooked chicken, one with a very fine vintage red leicester (the Red Fox one - I heartily recommend it), plus a banana, a minneola, some pomegranate kernels and two

Off to do a spot of modelling in a bit. I have holes that require drilling.

Sadly mine need work & the price was rather high.

What would you call a high price? I paid £95 to have my Kelek serviced earlier in the year, which is very reasonable as these things go. Considering that the whole movement has to be dismantled, cleaned and then reassembled by someone who really knows what they are doing. It's fiddly work with lots of opportunities for sproings and pingfeckits.

Today's watch is a Seiko 2206 hi-beat with a blue & white TV dial.

Rather lovely 5miles ridden in the autumn sunshine. Now in my lazy clothes with an ambitiously strong coffee for late afternoon. Apple and blackberry crumble made, laundry done, and the car finally filled with petrol. I meant to do that last one yesterday on the way back from town but accidentally forgot to take the car. Only remembered when I cycled past the garage on the way back

In the cat, usually...

This brought back memories of neatly nibbled mouse spines and tails left under the bed….

I wish to confess,the bikes have been cleaned and wrapped up for winter.This wuss of a fair weather cyclist has finished for 2022.At least i got out after the operations in April,but sadly catching up with decorating and gardening took its toll on my time.So 2023 is going to be my cycling time.Bring it on.

Good for you, lots of time to plan routes now. I enjoyed reading about the rides that you planned and did this year.

Somewhere with decent coffee and cake on the way and with the right number of hills. And preferably no potholes. What’s on your shortlist?

A satisfying afternoon's modelling has been completed, although I'm now rather chesty thanks to the glue allergy. But I now have a completed steering wheel with rear collar, a steering column and a female socket for the steering column that has been built into the section that forms the "engine" assembly. Only the latter has been glued in situ, everything else just slots together for the moment. I may need to still adjust the length of the steering column once I've made the seat. That is the next task in hand - fortunately I can do this largely with papier mache, so can take a break from the superglue.

Am now sat here with a nice

Lick My forehead ????
Just heard on Claudia Winkleman radio 2 show what is that all about

Think you deserve banning from the forum for your affair with that Winkelman woman.

I resent her every breath she takes. Totally baseless, but increasingly polished, loathing.

I would catch dandruff just to pi$$ her off.

I shall now retreat to bunker and clean my bike.

Just a short visit to show I have not gone away entirely and to thank those who expressed condolences.
While the anniversary is a sad occasion I have never been so badly affected in the past.
Now I suspect I was lower than usual as I have been struck down with the dreaded lurgi ie covid. Last night I had the first decent night’s sleep for a week and the cough seems to have abated a bit but by no means out of the wood yet.
My taste and sense of smell are normal but interest in food is low which is why I have lost 1Kg in weight in the past week.
No idea where I picked this up as I am never without a mask indoors and not been in any crowded places recently. I suspect the physio as I only had the surgery supplied mask rather than my preferred FFP3 and she was uncomfortably close while manipulating my shoulder.
Still feeling pretty washed out.

I went to school with her. Hey ho.
