Mundane News

[Reynard]

Did some general puttering around this morning. Plus a bit of lumberjacking. One of the conifers in my hedge split in two and sort of half collapsed thanks to the recent heavy rain, so I had to get the chainsaw out to cut it down.

Most of it will go in the green wheelie bin, but there is a good bit of firewood to be had as well. So this afternoon I'll be tackling it with the loppers to remove the bits I don't want so that I can get to the bits that I do.

Right now, lunch is on the agenda. There's the last of that bleu d'auvergne, some ham and the tub of hummus that I made yesterday. And some homemade pitta bread.

Ride done. Quieter out there than recently, but the cool wind might be a reason. Managed to 'clear' a nemesis climb off the canal near me - it's about 3 cobbles wide, slippy and tricky with a wide handlebars due to a fence ! If you try and spin up it, you tend to end up hitting the fence. Managed to clear it using a bigger gear, and despite bouncing off the fence twice, I cleared it. Phew. Well chuffed.

Right off to a boring skype.

Sorted !
In a quarter of the time it took not to get anywhere with my wife's insurance we managed to contact a human person and changed my insurance for the newer car and take out insurance for my wife to drive my old car.
The price increase for my newer car over my old car's insurance will only be £2.00 per month .

Are peanuts legal tender up there? Are they being used to destabilise the pound?

Up there? How far north do you think I am. You are Oop North(ish). Mind you, to a suvern softie Watford is the edge of civilisation

Our Xmas cactus has keeled over and died, I'm not sure why, it had been struggling for a while, though I may have over watered it a few weeks ago.

Well with having Jedburgh your username I added 2 & 2 together but clearly forgot to take off my socks

I've been out on my bike this morning, I've been over to Wellesbourne and back and ridden 53 miles. When I got back my Good lady said to me, "our friend across the road has some banana's for us can you pick them up when you take over her paper and I'll have a banana sandwich when you get back". So when I got back I made her a banana sandwich and got her a cuppa and a piece of cake to go with her dinnertime sandwich.

That's mundane.

All of mine keeled over after Poppy piddled in the pots.

She's too big for that sort of thing now, but she was a plant pot piddler as a kitten, and ergo, I don't keep much in the way of pot plants. Just in case, you know...

I'm normally very good with pot plants, but I suspect I may have over watered this one and hastened its demise.

There appears to be some precipitation outside.

Anyway, I have to go and introduce a felled conifer to some telescopic loppers.

I used to have a telephone number that was only three digits.

So did we when I was at primary school.
Woden Mill 411 was it.
