Warm, humid and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well, and have spent the morning puttering around doing various things. A small load of laundry, cooking the oranges I cut up yesterday, watering the tomatoes, doing some writing.

The afternoon will be taken up largely by marmalade making.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

Apparently I am going out to the supermarket to buy some plants, for the garden that Mrs Tummy has been digging, after work!

I've just driven another 70 miles to Wales with all four cats, not a single meow. She's fine with her older siblings. Sat in the same box as her big bro.

that makes sense

The plug on my laptop died this morning but luckily ''Revive My Device'' had a replacement in stock. I'm good to google.

Thanks for doing my survey.
I was trying to compare the 2 frames this morning. The Claud Butler is a conventional style with a double down tube whereas the Apollo is a single large oval section . The CB has a chromolly frame . The Apollo has some nice Shimano components but I didn't like test riding it. My wife isn't confident on riding a bike and insists that her feet should be firmly planted on the ground when sat on the bike . With the original cranks this was a knee hitting my chin experience! I have since fitted a shorter crank . When I compared the 2 frames this morning it looks like the CB bottom bracket is about an inch lower. I think that would reduce the bruising!

Garden centres make my bank card almost as nervous as bike shops do.

Tinnitus!

I have this problem frequently: the worst is that it happens in both languages at once, so when a kind person asks for the English word I can't help...

I remember being asked about the word 'arc' in the Netherlands. It took quite a while to work out that they were talking about a spark.

This break away has been just what I needed - too much food & too much drink countered by a lot of just wandering around enjoying the sights & sounds.
