Grey, mild and still here chez Casa Reynard.

I have had a bit of a kitchen morning. There is a tomato sauce going on in the crock pot, and vegetables have been sliced and sauteed. We are having a Mexican night,

My ISP's webmail is down (and has been since yesterday morning) which is awkward because I do have to get hold of some people. I may look into setting up an alternative (free) account somewhere.

it is almost time for luncheon.

Free online were down Wednesday, I don't know the reason.

I spoke too soon about the day looking promising weather-wise , a cold damp mist has descended , blotting out the sun and coating everything with wet stuff. Since my roots are East Anglian l should call it a "Haar" ( looks like l have widened this ignorant computers' vocabulary, it wasn't very keen to accept it though !

had a horseshoe sandwich, something local to our area, thick bread topped with french fries and cheese sauce, usually topped with ground beef or a hamburger, but in this case Buffalo chicken tenders.

yowza! what did he have?

don't need to scoop our 3 big cat litter boxes twice a day anymore, now that our sick cat is gone. he was trying hard, meaning a lot of food & water was coming & going. he wasn't skinny due to him not eating & drinking

Our old cat was piddling lots more than the other 4 combines - mucho reduction in cat litter. We use trays with small holes in, so the excess widdle goes through to the bottom without soaking the 'wood' litter. I pop a blob of bleach, or Zoflora in the lower tray to stop the widdle smelling. Cuts down litter changes to once every 3 days (two trays 4 house cats). Do-do is removed immediately.

I think he had a breakfast burger, hamburger, bacon, egg over easy Chipotle aoli and hash brown on a bun. I think he and Mrs. GA had leftovers to a great extent. My horseshoe sandwich was smaller, so no leftovers. I also just saw, looking at some local dining options, that the pizzeria from my short time on the railroad has opened a place near me. After 40+ years, they found me.

I've been very disciplined.

I've spent all morning browsing bikes and bike parts on Ebay and have managed to resist buying anything so far.

When I went downstairs to put my washing into the drier, I found the site foreman on his knees on my doorstep. He's worried about the clerk of works inspection. Either that or he was worshipping me.

DPD notified me of 2 deliveries for the same order this morning. The driver for the first one didn't call and simply delivered it to the corner shop. The package was full but it wasn't the whole order. I still have an email about the 2nd delivery but as their app doesn't show me as having an outstanding order, I'm not confident that it's on its way.

I recon that breakfast burger would represent at least one third of the calories needed by an active adult male for one day and about 40% of those calories are coming from fat . "You are what you eat".....?

Mr Hoover fixer man is going to be early, has another job locally, but his next job before us is some distance away, so he's asked if he can come early as it's nearby. Yes please.

He think's it might be the bushes - I know it's not, but I'm not saying I've had it apart.

Grey, mild and blustery here chez Casa Reynard. It rained overnight, so everything was a tad soggy early doors.

I have done a load of laundry and moved the wood I cut yesterday. The pine logs are in the garage, the smaller stuff is on the trestle under the utility room porch ready for sawing up and the green stuff is stacked along the fence. I have also done some more research on Formula Ford cars from the late 60s / early 70s for my writing project. It's only for some of the backstory, but I still need to get it right.

And was wondering why both cats were both staring at the space under a small cabinet - and have been for a few days. Muggins gets down on hands and knees and takes a torch. Not a mouse thank goodness, but one of their favourite toys had been flicked right back against the wall, and so neither could reach it. So a quick furkle with a stick managed to winkle it out.

It is almost time for lunch.

I used to know someone who raced lawnmowers. Never got to have a go though, despite being offered a couple of test sessions.

Rain of biblical proportions and danger of flooding in the usual suspect places.
Got some non perishable shopping done in Oban.
When I returned to base a couple of emails on my phone telling me two orders from Amazon had been dispatched. I had not ordered anything so went to my Macbook and found no such emails there. When I went back to the phone they had vanished from there as well without any action on my part. On to my Amazon account and no trace of anything untoward.
Scammers seem to be getting more cunning.
