Murky start to the day chez Casa Reynard, but it's now turned into a lovely sunny afternoon.

I have been very lazy this morning. The only things I've done is cut up some potatoes to make chips for luncheon and decant a 10kg sack of cat biscuits into tupperwares.

Mum is thrilled with her book on the Battle of Waterloo - she said she'd rather have that then twenty cakes.

Anyways, off to see to said chips...

Unbelievably hot here for March.

Postponed my planned ride for a few hours rather than go out in the mid-day sun as us pale-skinned Celtic types do a good lobster impression and I doubt my fitness is up to an all-day ride at the moment anyway.

Aaaaah, I thoroughly enjoyed my plate of chips. (with salt and mayonnaise)

Also had a pear, a banana and two

I've had a very surprise phone call, with a BIG prize. Not bike-related, but I'll make sure the prize can carry a bike. I'm 'Starstruck'

You won a bike trailer and you'll be converting it to carry a bike.
Should make collecting more bikes easier.

Still hot and sunny and looks good for the next couple of days.
I have been trying to log in using my IPhone but the system for whatever reason will not play
Sound of Mull with Lismore light and Lady Rock with Duart Castle just visible.
Edit Lady Rock is not visible.

I've just been given a £3 discount from Screwfix because they didn't have what they told me to come and collect. This means I've been paid £1.50 per mile walking.

(I wrote this hours ago but forgot to post it. I trust it's now had a little more time to mature.)

Has it aged well?

Grand Prix done and dusted. Including a funny conversation with a commentator friend of mine on the Book of Faces.

I now really need a wee.

30 miles

Very slow though.

Just tea and toast for supper tonight. And an orange for afters.

Have just lit the fire and setting in to an evening of writing.

I'm getting peer off with eBay peeps not advertising things correctly!
This is the second lens which is wrong ! The first one said that it would clean up so I thought that it could possibly be cleaned . Like a ground flat finish more like !
Another one today arrived ! Pentax fit ! looks like a bl**Dy Canon FD mount. Talk about square pegs into round holes! female to female won't fit !

Motor racing memorabilia listings are just as bad tbh. Some sellers are talking out of their, erm, lower orifices. What's wrong with doing a bit of basic research?

And then there's the working out what's real and what's fake and what's quite simply a turkey.

Lighting the fire!
But it's not cold...

Out here in the fens, there's nothing to hold in the heat of the day. Once the sun goes down, the temperature sinks like a stone, even in summer. If I don't put the heating on in the evening, the house is too cold come the morning.
