Morning .
I have deserted you for a while . I was busy on another thread .
Pop Master is on !

Sitting waiting at traffic lights, my Dad pointed out the brand new Bentley that was in front of us.

I hadn't noticed as I was looking at the tatty old Dawes 10 speed that was chained to a fence.

I'm obviously more of a cyclist than a motorist

Feeling rather tired. Cut myself a piece of rich fruit cake last night, then went to make a drink.

The fruitcake vanished, hound looking guilty.

So, late night, 20 mile drive to emergency vet!.

By the time I'd fed her the medicine it was 3am, so I feel tired and £300 poorer.

Just tried to join a zoom meeting only problem is I am 24 hours early

Eager, not a good look.

Well. No1 daughter's car now starts!! It was probably the immobiliser phaffing around.
I'm claiming victory, though I'm not sure it was my inept tampering that sorted it out.. 😁

On the food front, I had a stale baguette that needed turning into bread & butter pudding but had no sultanas to put in it. I reckon chopped prunes mixed with granulated demerara sugar, instead, will be quite tasty!

Sure I will be ribbed about it tomorrow

Mild and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

The crockpot is locked and loaded with a veggie tikka masala, and I have also done a load of laundry.

Last night we had a mexican stand-off between Madam Poppy and a furry brown intruder. I had to move all the food items I keep in the hall (nothing is touched thank goodness). I've seen where they've gotten in. They've chewed their way through the wood underneath the gutter flashing in the hallway, Little bar stewards. I'll have to put my DIY hat on again...

Anyways, it is time for luncheon...

eggs anyone? Wifey is still trying to figure out what happened

Yep. I will be covering the gap with several layers of heavy duty wire mesh. That's this afternoon's job.

 

[Reynard]

Two slices of bread for lunch, one with duck confit, one with brie, plus a tangerine, half a mango and two

Blimey!!

 

[Reynard]

Right, that's the first layer of wire mesh in place. Still need to tidy up the edges, but that's for tomorrow morning, as I've rather lost the light. Don't fancy getting my digits caught in wire nips.

The struggle has been using the stapler - it's one of dad's old industrial upholstery jobbies, and it's just too big for my hands.

Turned out quite a nice day despite the somewhat gloomy forecast. Could have been out on the trike but got sidetracked into garden work again.
My neighbour got a bargain lot of flashing lights from the bay of e and he asked if it was ok to put them along my fence as well as his own. He cuts my grass so I could hardly refuse and besides I get on with all my neighbours anyway.
We are now all lit up like Blackpool Illuminations after dark. I wonder when retaliation will start by somebody putting up bigger ones.

I keep forgetting that I can now put a little weight on my foot
