For those interested in grand designs on a smaller scale George Clarke's Ugly House to Lovely House is on Channel Four this evening. He almost always has sensible and practical ideas for improving people's houses, without spending £700K.

Week off this week, spent 4 days decorating, went to bed last night circa 11pm, woke up at 2am, too hot in bed, awake till around 3, fell asleep and woke up at....10.30 am

New boiler system ordered, veissman condensating boiler, new hot water tank, powerflush...,and a moderately lighter bank balance.
If this one lasts 30 years (as the old one has)...it'll see us out.

Mild, breezy and occasionally showery here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept well, but still having some glue allergy sneezes - so have taken half an antihistamine. Spent the morning sorting out trays of apples, and the quinces that I foraged from the community orchard are in the middle of being turned into quince jelly - along with some Japonicas from the garden, a couple that I bagged yesterday and some apples that needed using. I had to use the quinces I acquired on Monday as they were damaged and it would be a shame to throw them away.

Might go for a walk this afternoon, and do some writing. It is far too damp outside to prime any model pieces. Might also have a bit of a girly pamper session.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.

I will say nothing.

The book was free, and I was curious.

Letter posted.

And found four large Maris Piper potatoes lying in the grass on the verge. They'll be just right to make tonight's pot of chips.

Turned out to be a nice sunny day but cold outside.
Unfortunately I still have not recovered from covid tho' I did not do a test to check for infection. Spent the day indoors feeling pretty miserable and not able to get out and falling asleep for a while.
Not much interested in food either tho' my taste and smell is normal.
Notice is being reinforced that you get your cars off the Main St by 1800hrs as we want to play at being racers along the street. We don't care that you actually live there just get out of our way!😠
