Talking of the moon, it was a full one last night....and one of my grandsons kicked off. He has adhd and frequently really struggles around this time. We did a driveby 'telling off' at 11.30pm he was that bad. As my wife went up to see him, i wandered off into their kitchen....to be met with two bullys (very big dogs) who were surprised by my unexpected entrance.
Ted, weighs around 60 kilos, head as big as a humans, came leaping forward...not aggressively but his weight on me pushed me back into the freezer which was pushed back itself .
Get down ya hoofin big stupid thing ...as i petted him.

He is an utter brute...but incredibly soft. Gave me a seconds shock though as he launched himself forward.

I know people laugh at this, but I'm convinced it has an effect. When I was in the prison service, you could almost guarantee something would kick off when it was a full moon!

Biblical rainstorm this morning.

There is an acceptance in the psychology sphere the full moon effects some peoples bahaviour...the term lunatic is derived from lunar.
Youre right, people do scoff but my wife spent many years with SEND children, full moons...and worse with high winds, would seriosuly effect them. Similarly, a friend who worked in prison said similar, things would often kick off during a full moon.

Morning.
We are going to have to get moving soon . Our car is packed inside . I have got to fit the bike carrier , grab some tools and load the tandem on the back . Not many peeps can say that . It is in 2 bits , I thought that as a single bike it would be more balanced on the rack ,with the middle bit tied down next . We are dreading the fields as we had a lot of rain last night. It might have been better to hold a cherished amphibious vehicle day instead .

I used to do a lot of agricultural shows. Rain was often a nightmare as ground got churned up.At Dalmally in Argyll the river rose once and covered most of the field. I sold a lot of socks that day. No problem about colour or style so long as they were dry.

Not personal experience but my wife who was a teacher also had the same opinion about behaviour changes at full moon. A friend who was a County Councillor also said he got more complaints then as he kept a record of numbers of complainers related to the moon cycles.

Rain has stopped at last so a better day with sunny intervals. My hip problem is improving or masked by paracetamol so better to rest it a bit longer.
My old ipod decided it did not want to play anymore and needed to be reset but a password for the original setting was needed. Tried every combination I could come up with but still locked out.
If in trouble with computers best ask a child. In my case a teenager who got the thing working again without too much bother.
Definitey getting old and past it.

I’m having peppered pork chop, mash and peas.

It is most likely that l will not have a reason to go back to Hong Kong , l was there from 2002 through to 2006 with lots of time spent in mainland China working. So each time l see one of your posts l get a bit nostalgic. I guess that like everywhere else HK will have changed from how l remember it (with great affection) apart from maybe "sevens week"

Sevens week is still as debauched as ever, especially in the bars in Wan Chai.

Stay under the sofa until it's gone...

The sun keeps trying to show it's face

Cool, humid and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Must've chucked it down overnight as everything was sopping wet this morning. Am a bit tired. Chilling out with the cats and listening to Radio Le Mans.

Still an hour and 21 mins left of the race.

And it's almost time for lunch.

One small problem, she'll not know when it has gone if she does that.
