As usual i way over boiled the eggs. You'd be lucky to knock a nail into them,never mind dip bread!

Surely you've seen:

Like one of the old Warner Brothers cartoons, in live action. Redbone hounds seem to have problems with cats as well as English Springer Spaniels.

Due to get warm here over the weekend. Our Memorial Day. We started observing that after our Civil War. It started as Decoration Day on May 5 in 1868, and has moved as the years have passed, for various reasons. John A Logan, a Union General from the area where I went to Uni, started the practice as president of the G.A.R., or Grand Army of the Republic, a Union Veterans organization.(As opposed o the U.C.V. or United Conf***erate Veterans) National Holiday, so i and the other drivers, even though we are not driving, get the day off. On a regular year, I would travel 40 miles or so, and put some peonies on my fathers' grave from his mothers' ancestors plants, but they have not bloomed yet, and I shouldn't travel that far with this all going on.

Very, very blustery here chez Casa Reynard. Had some storm clouds whizzing over but no rain.

Have meatballs and tomato sauce simmering away in the crock pot. Will have that Belgian style for supper with chips and a chicory salad.

And lunch would be a really good idea now. I has a hungry.

The theme in today's photography challenge is "Grass"

No, not *that* kind of grass... But I did have fun with a long lens, tripod, slow shutter speed and flash.

There's real, actual rain here at the moment! OK it's more of a passing shower, but it's the first rain since the start of May.

And to continue the exciting news, I had to open a new bag of sugar to go with my Weetabix this morning. I don't use much as the previous 1kg bag lasted for over 5 months.

We've had more actual rain here in Penrith as well🌧...well it is the bank holiday weekend.

Caught a colleague drinking alcohol at work. He's been sent home. I doubt if anything will be done (though it's gross misconduct) because he's been drinking at work for months, other colleagues complained countless times and management don't care. "He's a nice guy" and case closed.

First bit of real rain for all of 15 minutes happened as I was out on the bike. Sheltered under a railway bridge and survived unscathed. The roads became all soapy, with a lather similar to the kind you get at car washes. They must have been spraying the roads with some kind of detergent.

Its that windy the ferries are cancelled today, maybe tomorrow too, borders are closed so its only freight that is departing/arriving and some essential workers

I was watching a guy cutting down a scots pine yesterday, 'twas swaying a bit. On one of my walks I commented to his mate on the ground that he appeared to be, shall we say, crazy. He wholeheartedly agreed. Just before I left he was swinging from one side of the tree to the other!
