Good morning all and welcome to yet another cold, grey & windy day in Suffolkshire. By the sounds coming from the local playing field, one of the junior teams has just scored a goal.

I just bicycle bimbled to Bermondsey for bakery buns. It's a bit brrrrrr out there.
This was my first outing since going down with a cold. My leg muscles appear to have got mislaid in storage somewhere while I've been poorly.

Might be worth setting up a network printer server. Then you'd be able to print from both.

I have to run out and get some train footage, then go and find a new watch for cycling, and buy some correspondence cards, considering I had a windowsill full of get well wishes on my hospital stay.

Sunny day with virtually no wind but still cold.
After travelling yesterday everything is still chaos with “ stuff” lying everywhere and I feel too knackered to do anything about it so far. There is no fun in getting old.
At least the car is more or less empty of luggage and shopping apart from the Trike I got. It can remain there until I get somewhere to try getting it out and also refolded back in. Somewhere where assistance is available if I completely fail on my own.
I may look for a trailer and a small boat trailer could be used tho’ a box would be handy.
My neighbour is stuffing lots of bushes he trimmed back into his father’s taxi which is the sort of use such a thing could get but not good for ferry use due to extra cost.
Just heard a strange noise outside and he is now cutting my grass. He cuts several grass patches for other people as well and the agreement is that I pay for all the petrol.

Breezy, chilly and showery here chez Casa Reynard.
Slept really well. Have had a quiet day, a nice luncheon of toast, pate, cheese, fruit and two
Now sat by the fire and listening to Leicester v Arsenal.

After a ride this morning I test-rode the Thompson Capella and, after a few adjustments to bar angle, seatpost height plus saddle fore/aft and angle, it fits. Happy me. It was always a risk and the mechanic at my LBS really wasn't sure if it would.
I'm currently in Wythenshawe having a coffee and a bun before collecting SWMBO from Manchester airport.

Next week or the week after, I may have the challenge of teaching someone to play Chess. One of my neighbours is an absolute beginner, but wants to play Chess with her grandson (thirteen years old).
She bought a book but cannot get the hang of it. I said that it would be easier to learn by playing someone, at a table.
I think if we just put the pieces in the right place to start with, and go from there. How do you teach someone the moves the knight can make? It is "three squares along and one across" and "one square across and three up"? Or is there some easier formula?
Somewhere in this house there is a Chess book, but I think it is about sixty years old, or more.
I presume only advanced players use the "touch it and you have to move it" rule and/or the "swap the position of the Queen with that of the Castle (aka Castling)?
