About to go out for a bike ride with Beautiful Daughter. She wanted to go several hours ago but I persuaded her to wait until the frost had melted a bit...

We had a "bike Tour" of several playgrounds in different local villages. It was a bit cold.

Beautiful Daughter insisted I should try out the zip line, and filmed it. This will not be posted online.

Logs sawn up and stashed in the garage. New chain means the saw is like wot a laser beam is to butter. Also tootled off to the post box in the village, as the one I wanted to use this morning is emptied much earlier in the afternoon.

Now for a and a smackerel of something.

 

[Reynard]

where do you get your logs?

From the garden. Casa Reynard is on the edge of a wood. That is also the garden.

Speicher, thanks for your reply. I've been attending this forum for a few years but am still learning the lingo.

It won't be much longer with the amount of logging you seem to do.

Actually, some of the stuff gets coppiced, so there's always a ready supply of stuff to use for firewood without having to make too big a dent into the rest.

Two countries separated by a common language, as they say!

The £1,000,000 prize hasn't come my way, yet

I have several bonds, but I've never won a bean...

6 year old grandson is here for the day. He doesn't stop talking. Ever!..

My ears are worn out

I can sympathise and empathise... to a point - your grandson goes home at the end of the day. My doesn’t-even-stop-talking-to-take-a-single-breath son is here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (especially as schools are closed for the time being).

You’ll never know how jealous I am of you right at this moment!

I am hopeful though that my ears will develop some kind of protective membrane

(I bet you miss the little lad when he’s gone home though 🤗 )

I feel your pain... Joking.. It's a lovely age with kids!
And yes, I miss him (and granddaughter, too) when they go home.

Earplugs for you and gobstoppers for the wee man? Though I'll admit it's a bit drastic...

I have been in the loft. Lots of stuff has migrated to my living room now on its way to the new shed tomorrow (weather permitting).

Thursday should be non-mundane. I have three packages due to be delivered. Then another on the 12th. The excitement is in tents.
