Warm, grey and blustery here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well, which is good, but my get-up-and-go is still AWOL. I have spent most of the morning writing.

I have also dusted off my grandfather's Tissot this morning. While it is rather battered, it does work and I do wind it up periodically. I've cleaned it gently, and I can now see the dial without squinting. The chrome plating is rather manky, but I don't mind the brass showing through. I have been wearing it, but I can't quite decide whether it's comfortable enough. The case is ok (it's a banana-type tank) but I'm not a fan of the wide leather strap.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon, and I has a hungry.

Some of the old watches which you think are chrome were originally gold plated which has worn off .

My rather haphazard shopping style has led to me picking up ''craft beer'' chips from the supermarket freezer. I meant to pick up their triple cooked ones. Why would you put craft beer on your chips? Good question. I'll look for possible reasons.

I just heard my washing apparently clunking in the washing machine, as I don't wear wooden clothes it probably meant I've forgotten to take some tools out of the pocket again...

The post man, for it is a man, has just delivered a lateral flow testing kit, although I haven't ordered one since February.

That has happened to me too ( though I'm on the " clinically vulnerable " list which might possibly have something to do with it )

Washer drained, and yes, I'd left my 3-way hex key tool in my work trouser pocket... Now retrieved and the washer is its usual quiet self...

Had a nice 25 miles in sunshine

Time to have some soup now.

I don't claim to be a culinary expert but I have a feeling my leftover homemade soup might re-heat faster if I remembered to turn the hob on

Hang on, I'll write that down...

Lovely supper of roast chicken, rosemary & garlic fondant potatoes, steamed green beans and a tomato salad.

Free range organic chicken is lush. I can understand why this chicken cost £19 full price...

Just the one test kit?

Just the one test kit?

Yep, just the one.

I know what you mean, but this one *is* chrome plated. It's brass underneath the plating.

 

[classic33]

Yep, just the one.

Maybe they know something you don't!
