I've just had a Victor Meldrew moment! "I just don't believe it! "
I was in the kitchen and noticed Georgie on our back lawn . I was about to wave to him when I noticed he was interested in something . It was a mouse! They were arguing ! I ran outside to scare Georgie off whilst I tried to rescue the mouse . He was an agile little bu99er, Missed a couple of times! Georgie was about to catch him as I caught up with it again . I missed it again and it disappeared ! It had gone up my trouser leg ! I couldn't go indoors as I didn't want it escaping indoors ! I couldn't remove my trousers as I was outside . I couldn't find the mouse but it seemed to be on a grand tour ! I eventually discovered it at the back of my trousers by my belt . I walked over to our path and undid my belt and trousers , the mouse leapt out and ran for some bushes !

Will you be graduating to ferrets next?

Ouch @fossyant - lots of ice.

Currently I'm on here as none of my 180 students have (again) chosen to not attend the drop-in session I run each week.

They all came?

Having found a jar of mincemeat in the cupboard a few weeks ago, another, bigger jar has appeared. This one also best before end of October.

Made enough pastry for 30 pies, with three of us liking them, they may last to Monday or Tuesday. Second batch in the oven, first one cooling.

2nd delivery completed. I'm shocked.

I've also managed to get blood all over my right hand. I've no idea how I cut myself without feeling anything. There again, I often manage to catch my shins against pedals without noticing any pain and then discover scabs on my legs some time after.

Caught my hand, unbeknown, on the car the other, wife asked where the blood had come from.

Come to Leicester. it's national driving day everyday. the other day I even had someone come round me as I stopped at a red light as they didn't think rules of the road applied to them.

The standard of driving in Leicester is unbelievably shockingly bad.

Have a pup, who has gained some weight since July, weighing me down in the armchair.

My leg is going to sleep.

Grey and chilly here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept in, then hand washed a few gubbins and have spent the rest of the morning writing. Later, I shall be tootling off to Tesco to do a spot of yellow stickering.

My e-mail is back and working, but now, one of the people I need to talk to is having problems. (different ISP)

It is still a bit too early for lunch.

Nice trike run round by part road and part cyclepath. The trick with the main road section is to wait until a convoy of vehicles has gone past from the traffic lights at Connel Bridge and then proceed without anybody behind till the lights change again. The cycle path was covered in fallen leaves and it was wet so dodgy for bikes. Fine on the trike. Lots of ancients on e assist bikes but son no2 caught up with me on his mountain bike doing the same circuit much faster. He found the wet leaves so blood over one knee but no serious damage.
I did various minor diversions to get pictures on the bike camera Pity I had not actually turned it on.
I did take a few on my phone but this ipad has decided not to cooperate and refuses to accept air drops.
Pic below is from my bedroom window this morning.

I`m having a can`t be a***d day!
Grey, chilly, damp days do that and worse there`s no footy because of the international break and the Arse/Spurs ladies match isn`t up to much so far.

Did a uturn with the trike in the driveway of an airb&b and after a bit of finangling got this picture from

this morning’s run. Looking up Loch Etive, one of my favourite views.

Last minute decision last night, and we decided to phone a local Malaysian restaurant for a table this evening. Phoned, but got no answer, but they called me back. Booked in for 6:15 this evening. Its a small family business thats been going years. Very reasonable prices and fabulous food. Can't wait.

No 1 daughter's car was leaking coolant. Fortunately it was only a split in the expansion tank so I managed to replace it.
1 bolt, 1 squeezy clip and 1 push on pipe.
That's my kind of mechanics 😁💪
