Mild, grey and drizzly here chez Casa Reynard.

We are listening to the qualifying from Turkey on the radio. F1 + rain = chaos

I have also made a big pot of leek and potato soup.

I'll catch the F1 qualifying highlights later.

Amazon will not translate the main descripton of the book, but it has allowed me to translate the reviews. I did not need to translate the French reviews.

Breakfasts in America are an eye opener.They have pancakes with syrup and cream,to me that is a dinner pudding.

I quite like sourdough waffles with syrup and bacon...

It is now pouring with rain here.

Most Americans have a simpler breakfast like granola or a toaster pastry like Pop-Tarts , or maybe oatmeal (North) or grits (South), or maybe a frozen waffle from the toaster. I am eating some orange danish and two slices of bacon, but it is Saturday. I generally go out for the full-on American breakfast. To a place called Original Pancake House (like there are a bunch of changeling pancake houses rolling around out there). Although I also prefer Fort Jesse Cafe. Wot with Covid, I don't eat out anymore.

And the sheeting can come in handy if you need to dispose of a body.

There is that as well.

Also stops him having to worry when he's painting, or using glue on his models.

Well the computer arrived. The trouble is is that the wife says that it's making a whining noise . She asked if I could hear it but I can't . I've got a constant hum going on now and it isn't switched on ! . I am a bit deaf but I can hear aircraft, especially interesting ones.
So SWMBO is sending it back .

That was fun ! It was like the Generation Game ! Having to put a desk top computer back into its box when you can't remember exactly how it all fitted in .

That noise was probably the cooling fan(s). Mine does that when I turn it on but the noise stops after a while (or I just stop noticing it!)

Seen this @Reynard ?

 

[Illaveago]

I just had a thought !
The metal tripod style legs standing on a wooden table may have amplified the noise which I couldn't hear ! Their fault for not providing rubber feet .

Seen this @Reynard ?

Yes, I have.

Gotta love Lando Norris

@Andy in Germany and Reynard - Please Could you answer a question for me?

In a roundabout way, Pinterest led me to this book

My German is not good enough to work out if the book includes the templates for the silhouettes. I have read the reviews and they seem mainly good reviews. My German would be good enough to work out how to do them, as there are plenty of pictures.

I believe so - some of the reviews are in French, and one states that the patterns are included. My French is still better than my German, even after all these years

Qualifying was a farce !
