Did the quack pass?

Our black bin is out, don't feel inclined to check if it's been emptied. I may have a snooze.

I think the storm may empty it for you. 5 bins down on our road.

Grey, rainy and blustery here chez Casa Reynard.

I have spent the morning doing paperwork, printing stuff and then cleaning up some old photos in photoshop. I have 27 in total in this batch, so I too, might be some time...

It is almost time for luncheon.

Yes he should have gone without a doubt. On the other hand Arsenal should have been well in front but very sloppy all over the pitch, particularly in the second half. Richarlison could have had 2 that were marginally offside. Even the last kick, Aubameyang, should have equalised, but again sloppy. I like Tomiyasu but what does Tierney have to offer? I`m sure they`ll improve but it`ll be a lot of work.

I know, it's still very much a work-in-progress. We do have the youngest side in the PL, so it's not going to happen overnight. Yes, we were sloppy last night, we do need to tighten up and be more clinical.

Auba is out of form - some of his recent misses have been real facepalm territory. Tierney has just come back from long-term injury, so a bit rusty. He's got this knack to pick out good passes and crosses though - he's more of a dour defender when compared to Tavares who plays the same position, the latter being more attacking.

Tomiyasu is looking like a really good buy - he just gets on with it, Odegaard always seems to be putting his best foot forward, and I'm absolutely loving Ramsdale.

Well, mum passed the inspection, so all good there.

My blue wheelie bin hasn't been emptied yet either. It's in a sheltered corner, so I'm hoping it's not going to faint.

I've never yet rung a local radio station.

Me either. Not sure what you would achieve by doing so really.

Seems that one of my lower eyelids is lower than normal according to the latest finding by the optician. This means one eye dries very quickly and gets a bit gritty and can cause dizzy symptoms. I have dry eyes anyway so this does not help. Nothing realistic can be done apart from an operation to raise the eyelid which is not really recommended.
You learn something new every day. Just something to add to my list of problems and more medication.
Came out of the optician to blizzard conditions, nearing a whiteout. Seemed to ease a bit 6 miles east of Oban but will be terrible further inland and the Rest and be Thankful seems to be blocked by stuck vehicles. Given the way a lot drive it is not surprising as even in slush as here they still keep the right foot well down. Ones cornering on left hand bends as I head out give me concern that they may well slide and there is no escape if they do.

Unless you are in accord with what the programme wants to achieve you never get on air anyway. I never listen now but the ones phoning a Radio Scotland phone in programme are clearly selected for their political views.

Lunch was two slices of wholemeal toast, one with taramasalata, one with st felicien cheese, plus a banana, a pear, a tangerine and the obligatory two

Wind has really picked up here. And no, it's not due to my having eaten a surfeit of beans.

Wood bins in the house all filled up, and now I'm just going to hunker down for the night.

Oh, and our new postie is a lady.

Managed to catch her when she delivered the issue of Short Circuit I bought on the 'bay last week and showed her where my safe place for oversized post is.

Hopefully, no more trips to the depot to pick up stuff.

Next time I spot her, she'll get her Christmas Box.

I have come to the conclusion that government departments deliberately make their websites as unfathomable and awkward to navigate as possible in the hope that you go away and don't bother them.

Apparently I've just got a gift of $920,000 from someone called Mrs. Stevenson.

Once the money is in my account I could buy a few bikes with that
