Chilly, a light breeze but with sunny intervals here chez Casa Reynard.

This morning was taken up by chauffeuring mum to get her second covid jab. Muchly relieved Reynard. Now I need to try and book one for me, as I am finally now eligible for one also.

Almost time for lunch. I shall finish off the last of the cullen skink, and then see what else I fancy.

Black bin day today.

Same here! I must remember to actually put the bin out, rather than just think about it.

Two weeks ago I said to my neighbour "Is it the black bin this week?" He said "Yes, it was - yesterday".

I’ve just this minute put our pink bin out.

Not so mundane news really, an update in the interview situation.

It's looking very hopeful, and I think I may have landed on my feet if this works out...

There are a number of options now, where I'd be working in one or two departments. I'll be working at least two days a week at a big second hand shop about seven minutes from my apartment, but the question is if I then work three days a week at a programme to help immigrants to integrate in Germany, which is about 40 minutes away by bike.

The shop has a bike recycling section, which I would be partly working in; and after they discovered I'd fixed and refurbished bikes in the past this became a suggestion I may be responsible for it in the long term...

I've just had a couple of hours out on the bike and now I'm very slowly warming up again. It's chilly in the wind off the Thames.

We have a plumber due as well today

It's nothing more than a leaking cistern but it makes a horrible whiny noise as the water escapes, forcing me to keep on closing doors to stop the whining. And as I live alone, closing doors is something I rarely have to do. The guy who came yesterday said that he'd probably have to take the pan out to replace the broken part. We'll see....

Reminds me of a hymn.

No more whining and closing doors?

Depends on how he is feeling.

Well our plumber reached the downstairs loo sink and associated plumbing so no more dripping

Just need to decorate now

Green and brown bins out ready for emptying tomorrow

 

[Reynard]

Forgot to say that my blue recycling bin and my black bag were collected yesterday. I wouldn't have put the black bag out, but mum wanted to throw away a very worn coat that she'd been wearing for gardening. The sleeves were falling apart.

I have spilled glue all over my fingers (I hate working with tiny parts) and am now trying to peel said glue off my fingers before it gives me a rash.

Anyways, the mounting brackets are made and have been bonded to the underside of the Higman's rear wing structure.

The bottom half of the wing skin has also been bonded on, and I am waiting for the epoxy to cure.

I’ve just this minute put our pink bin out.

I went last night at 7:30pm to buy a couple of 1/2" BSP flanged brass back nuts. As usual, they rolled out the red carpet and set up the barriers to keep the riff-raff away.
