Mundane News

Thick cloud and a little rain so far today.
Temperature is high at 8C outside which means the house is too warm inside as storage heaters cannot react quickly. Useless objects really but I am stuck with them and also solid fuel which is used to supplement them in evenings.
The stove does add a bit of brightness to an otherwise pretty depressing world.
My holiday plans are in tatters due to the new virus variant but does nor seem to deter the holiday holiday homes as the one opposite me is now occupied again with probably escapees from foreign parts.
The weather forecast for the next few days looks like it may be reasonable to get out cycling.

Has it improved Englands chances in Australia?

Not in the least! This could be a series where England come home with nowt but a nought to its name.

I see an BMW E30 320i for sale locally for €20,000

I was offered one in good condition apart from a slipping clutch for free a few years ago

My bird feeder is now clean and full of fresh sunflower hearts, niger seed and fat balls.

I had a load of parcels waiting for me at my apartment building’s security office.

All the mail from the UK has a 2-3 week delay in both directions.

Nice morning so I extended my perambulation to about a mile this morning. Being able to put even a little weight on my dodgy foot makes it much easier than before but walking on crutches seems to make me sweat even more than cycling.

Still getting the hang of one legged showering.

I also got a Christmas card in the post today. I doubt I'll get many more.

Mild, still and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

This DIY queen replaced two broken slates on the extension roof this morning.

No more furry intruders so far either. Although the wire mesh covering the hole I filled yesterday has been chewed shiny in several places. So they were outside trying to get in, which is far better than inside trying to get out. No more chewing debris in the hallway seems to corroborate that. The girls could obviously hear those attempts last night, as they were both sat like feline radar dishes, staring at exactly where I'd done that repair.

They were also looking at where the broken slates were, hence my shinning up onto the roof to do that. The insulation had been pulled out from under the broken ones, so they had been trying to get in that way.

Anyways, I have also done a load of laundry.

T'is time for luncheon, and there is a Walkers pork pie with my name on it.

First cuppa went down well
Time to start thinking about bringing up the drawbridge and becoming more of a recluse due to Omicron numbers
We hadn't really lowered our defences but deffo need to be careful

Yup, doing the same here.

Had been angling to not going yellow stickering on Christmas Eve already before this blew up. Now, I definitely won't be taking part in that particular bun fight. It's just not worth it.

Mmmmmmm, that pork pie was nice. Had a good chunk of that, then a sandwich with garlic chicken, a tangerine, a peach, the last of the cherries and two

Time to go fill the wood bins in the house, then I need to so some origami with a sheet of cardboard.

another day wrestling the sense out of chaos ...
