Having just delivered two Bank Holiday lectures, as they're on Mondays and I'm time-squeezed, we're hoping to test our newly-adapted grasstrack bike. Before the hits

Edit: too late, it's just started raining so will have to wait for a dry day.

Starting to rain here.
Go back to work, to rest up from the weekend activities.

Cool, blowy and attempting to rain here chez Casa Reynard.

Didn't sleep too well as I'm all achy after yesterday's ride. The only thing that *isn't* aching is my bottom

Am about to have an early lunch, and then I'm toddling off to do a spot of yellow stickering.

It's nearly time for Ernie to get in touch

It certainly is .

Anybody who finds a stray hearing aid please get in touch as my father has misplaced his

Yellow stickering successfully negotiated. I was the only one there for finals, so had first dibs on everything. Unfortunately, the large tray of sausages that I had my eye on never came back out. Kind of peeved, because I fancied some sausage sandwiches...

I did pick up smoked salmon, sliced cooked chicken, yoghurts, new potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, pak choi, mange tout, apples, pears, oranges, bananas and strawberries.

Paid 56p for 3kg of bananas. Need to think of something to do with bananas...

Anyways, I'm now sat watching the snooker. Not fussed who wins out of Selby and Murphy, just want to see a good final session.

There were two brave Goldfinches attempting to hang onto the bird feeder a short while ago.. Quite a feat in this weather!!

 

[Reynard]

Cheese, onion and bacon toastie for supper

I followed @biggs682's suggestion a couplen of weeks back and made a banana crumble, it was divine.

Other suggestions, bake them in foil with rum and cinnamon; make a large batch of banana and peanut butter, or mashed banana, chocolate chip and tahini 'jam'; banana pancakes; banana bread and butter pudding with banana custard

I like love am slightly obssessed with bananas!

I was already thinking along the lines of a crumble or baked bananas with creme fraiche. And I've got a good recipe for banana bread, so yeah, not without options.

The chap doing the reductions was putting all the loose single bananas that were on the shelf into large packs and marking them down. At that price, it would have been rude not to

I have a new broom with soft bristles for kitchen floor sweeping duties as I broke the handle of the old one while sweeping up prior to mopping the floor.

At least it gave me an excuse to have a break from all the washing, ironing, vacuuming & lawn mowing that took up the rest of the day. It's now raining here, but nothing heavy yet.

 

[Reynard]

It's heading your way @Jenkins - it's coming down in stair rods here.

I had a breakage too, and now need to get a pair of new wiper blades for the car. They both disintegrated withing about 50 yards of each other en route to Tesco this afternoon.
