It's BBC 7 day quiz time. Let's see what trivia has managed to stick in my memory.

Thanks for the reminder.

I think.

I've got ready too early !
I suppose I could go and polish my spokes !

Tip-top tea!

Lipton's?

 

[fossyant]

Rather warm in the sunshine - I feel a road bike ride coming on in a short sleeve top !

Lipton's?

Tesco's original leaf tea.

Anyhow, I made it to Cambridge, someone's just punted past me, there's a goldfinch in a nearby tree and there's not a cloud in the sky. Even the wind is being merciful!

Less than 2 hours to go then it's a weekend of freedom

(Once I've done the shopping, changed the bedding, done a load of washing and probably had a snooze, that is)

My word, he really needed to go, didn't he?

Oh, you're supposed to use your memory? I thought you just chose the most ridiculous answers.

Warm, bright and sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I overslept somewhat this morning, as I got so wrapped up on my writing project last night, that it was half 3 by the time I thought to stop. But when you have something that you *MUST* get down before it slips your mind, because it is a major part of the plot, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Anyways, I baked and glazed the batch of Lebkuchen that I'm going to take for the volunteers at the stabby jabby hub tomorrow.

Almost time for lunch.

Have fun out there!

Woken up at 5am this morning by one of my hounds, howling fit to bust. Dragged myself from the warm embrace of morpheus to see what was wrong. He needed to go out ...call of nature ! Pitch black outside dog and l set off across the field . dog happy whereas l tripped over a rock and fell heavily to earth. Very sore hip and elbow now and l will be grumpy all day. Anyone want one of these ?

This is the advantage of having cats. There are two litter trays in the house for them to use.

Friday morning here. Wifey & Daughter both have road trips today. Pops will be pensive for many hours, especially until Wifey is back from The Bronx, 11? hrs later. credit to her, she asked me to check her oil. I gave it 1/2 a quart. go get 'em kid. Daughter's trip is much much much shorter, but I'll be eager to receive that "arrived" text msg later ...

MrsF insisted we have a wander round the garden centre at lunch (instead of my ride), so I'll finish work a little early and go for a ride - all very quiet today after the massive rush with budgets.

Picked up some soluble weed and feed - prefer this as it doesn't burn the grass. Going to have to wait a couple of weeks as the lawns have had a feed with iron sulphate. Also picked up two tomatoe seedlings (large toms) as we've got loads of 'plum toms'.

I've come back from a 22 mile ride with my friends. It is sunny with a clear blue sky but the breeze is a bit chilly.
We spotted quite a bit of wildlife on our ride .I stopped to pick up a small toad that was in the middle of a road. I placed it on some grass. We next spotted a grey squirrel, I wasn't going to pick that up . We carried on on the cycle path and then came across a grass snake! I almost fell off as I braked hard trying to avoid it. It carried on on its way into some grass. Never seen one before ! We later saw a red kite and then a bit later we saw some fish in a river .
