Oh! The frogs were busy in our pond yesterday .

I blew my nose fifteen minutes ago and tripped a massive nose bleed. It was like the depth charge scene from Das Boot. I haven't had one of those for thirty years. Fortunately a large kitchen roll was nearby and I stopped it within about three minutes. I've been searching all the quack medical sites on Google ever since. Apparently it's either trivial or almost certainly fatal.

It's been nice knowing you.........

Used to have a lot, then I stopped sucking Fisherman's Friends (the lozenge) regularly.

I can relate. try to reduce your blood pressure. drinking water can help. resist the urge to blow your nose for a cpl days

Or the nasal reamer.

I'll raise a to that!

Did you need an excuse?

Beautiful weather here, clear skies and not much wind.

The future probably involves a socially distanced bike ride with a friend and his daughter to a nice big playground where our kids can play without getting too close together...

Apparently my eldest grandson got stuck in the babies swing the other day and he's not even a teenager yet.

In other news, I have neglected to mention that the pod in the field at the back has dried up, but it is raining.

Positively summery out there today! I even took my coat off! Lovely 10 miles pottering via supplies stock up.

My daughter has just broken her headphones

Very mild, breezy and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

This sudden rise in temperatures has probably set some tree pollen going (hazel most likely), because I am struggling with hayfever. Bleurgh. Mid February? FFS!!!

Have spent the morning puttering about on my Higman model. The last three layers of the main chassis rails have been marked out and are ready for cutting.

Did you need an excuse?

Not really

I don't want to get barred from the Vet by taking a small* but very ill tempered ball of teeth and razor blades there. Plan is if he comes in injured and needs to be sorted it'll be 'Whip those off whilst you're at it'


* This is one of the things that make me think he's a Feral born rather than a stray

That's precisely what crush cages are for. See if you can borrow one from your local branch of CP.

Anyways, lunch calls...

I was stopped by a security guy on my potter this morning as they were filming a Skoda commercial further down the road.

I hope you ignored him and carried on.

 

[Oldhippy]

I did think about it but he was very jovial about it.

Just listening to Faith Healer by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band on Plant Rock. One of my favourite tunes ever along with a few others off that album. What a band they were and so underrated now and then.

Fantastic stuff, a great band, then or now. Far better than so many others.
