Messaged someone who had listed an office chair for sale on the local Facebook buy and sell page this evening asking if I could go and see it. Got reply from her saying that they're going to Spain for a fortnight and contact her when she gets back.

Am I missing something or would it not have made more sense to list it after she comes back from holidays

SIL has just popped round. She's gone in the hot tub with MrsF - I'm making her some food as she's just done a 12 hour shift in the Laundry at MIL's Nursing home on her own as they are short staffed throughout the home. She started there at the start of Covid, as her main job as a swim teacher stopped, and still isn't at pre-covid levels, so has stayed on for extra cash.

I just writted a letter, with an envelope and everything.

Now going to cook some pasta; fire extinguisher at the ready.

Pasta cooked, apartment not smouldering.

Cats have been fed. Going to feed me shortly. There are still some random leftovers in the fridge that want eating before they develop language skills. It'll be a poppity-ping job.

In other news, I have developed a zit on the back of my neck.

I'm a clumsy bugger. I managed to spill some coffee straight out of the mokka pot, onto my left foot this morning. I now have a burn blister about 3cm by 2cm on the top of my arch. Burn plaster currently on, but hope this doesn't stop me getting my foot in a cycling shoe. Grr.

Ouch!!!

On the upsides, there are worse places you could've spilled that coffee onto...

How come Georgie only comes for a cuddle when he's soaking wet ?

Chilly, grey and blustery here chez Casa Reynard.

It is just starting to spit with rain in this corner of East Cambs. I am watching the curling (feck, it's addictive!) and tidying up the writing I did yesterday. Did not sleep well, so feeling a tad grumpy.

Last night I also catalogued and filed the Bay of E purchases that arrived.

The FF2000 programme had the results filled in, which rather conveniently plugged a gap in my data, the '88 Oulton Park Gold Cup programme established that the Camel press pack I had was produced for that particular meeting, and one of the photos in the press pack was used in the third of the programmes I bought - '88 Silverstone International Trophy. So all in all, a good result there.

Plus the issue of Short Circuit, while rather tatty, is actually quite rare. It has a report from a Superstox meeting at Aldershot that actually includes the date (that's like hen's teeth in issues of SC from that era), so I can now chase down the programme.

My god if those ice rinks get that dusty they have to keep sweeping them why don’t they use vacuum cleaners And before someone says the leads wouldn’t be long enough Rechargeable battery ones are available

Unlike the friend who was emptying the washing machine in the buff, and one of his cats decided that playing with the dangly toy would be a fantastic idea.

Said friend ended up in A&E...

Did she choose to go in, or did you pop her in there to get her out of the way?

Fancy envelopes you have over in those parts, I use a pen for writing.

I stopped using crayons years ago.

 

[Reynard]

Had some lamb, mushroom pasta, sprouts and tzatziki, followed by fruit crumble and custard.

Other than two lamb chops, all the random leftovers have been eaten.

I caught Lexi licking the dripping.
