I've got all the washing dried today, tonight I have one of my least favourite jobs to do, I've got to put the fitted cover back on the settee, its a bit like fitting a duvet.

D*mn, forgot to check.

Is either dog quicker than you?

Just woken up , had to have an afternoon kip. This morning was the third in a row that my two hunting dogs woke me up at about 4am , howling fit to bust because of some real or imagined threat lurking around the house, So chucked some clothes on , gathered the hounds and set off into the pitch black outside . Chilly , quiet, not a soul human or otherwise to be seen. It's probably one of the stray dogs around here looking for food scraps. Back inside , dogs sleep in moments . l stagger back to bed, try too hard to go back to sleep, no joy .
Can't be cross with these two...l'm too soft

I've been to New York, didn't like the place.

Got the numbers wrong three or four times.New York did my head in I had a meltdown,I got fed up of queuing,pushing noise,I just lost it and went to find a quiet coffee shop and had an hour to myself.I met the family later.

Chilly and still but very sunny here chez Casa Reynard. This morning, it was "where's the rest of the world gone", it was that foggy.

Feeling really meh. Not much sleep as I'm really struggling with an allergy issue. Not sure what's setting me off, and it's driving me up the wall. Tossed and turned for most of the night, up to mop streaming eyes and nose upmpteen times. Gave in and took a whole tablet of Cetirzine.

Wrong move.

Since 5am, I am now more bunged than a bung in a bunged up barrel.

At least Arsenal gave Leicester a good thrashing earlier, though.

I watched it .Can’t understand this square and back passing Leicester have adopted in recent matches.even when there is space to take the ball forward.before making a pass

Give the Gunners their due they played well.

Just fed the dog a tin of cat food, put hand into cupboard opened tin before looking at the label, Ah well she's not fussy she's eaten it.

We can keep the cats and dog we rescued.

I was also given a camera (Mamiya RB67 with lenses etc.) the the chap knew I coveted as a thank you for keeping an eye on the house.

@Phaeton - the dog might prefer the cat food. Then you've got trouble.

Our 'big cat' - a large Manx - was ill late last year and lost 20% of their body-weight. Having been treated they've gone onto better food. The other cat's put out not having the nicer stuff.

I have emerged from Formula E land.

Good race, especially at the pointy end. Shame it ended the way it did - looked like a pretty big hit for Alex Lynn. Think Martin Brundle in the Jordan in Melbourne back in 1996. It's the same kind of incident.

Oh, and did I mention that my man won?

I feed the girls the same. Although apparently, the right hand side of a can is better than the left hand side...

It's half an hour to food time, and I am being stared at LOL.

Haven't done any actual construction work on the Higman model today. My brain's far too fogged from the lack of sleep, so it's best not to.

But I've been puttering around with a few ideas for making some parts that aren't straightforward - suspension links and the exhaust. Turns out that short sections ordinary printer paper covered in paper glue (pritt stick type stuff) rolled around a wire core, and then drenched in superglue actually works quite well.

The paper gives me the shape, the wire means the thin sections won't break, and it comes with end pegs automatically attached. And I can add small beads at the end in lieu of things like ball joints and rose joints.

She gets the leftovers most morning, the cat will not eat the food if it's been left in the dish overnight, it demands fresh each morning. The cat won't touch Whiskas or Felix, currently it's on Asda Fish, but after getting a box of Aldi fish it's turning it's nose up at Asda now, but the dog couldn't care less, food is food to her.
