Well, this is fun.

Major power outage in this part of HK. Everything’s down. Traffic lights, street lights, everything.

And a restaurant that used, to float, I see... 🛳

Sunny and hot here chez Casa Reynard. Not much of a breeze.

Had a lovely walk in the midsummer's day sun with a friend and her dogs. The dogs ended up padding in the muddiest ditch they could find. Eeeeew! But at least they had fun. In any case, mud packs are supposed to be good for the skin...

Some writing and some gardening is on the agenda for this afternoon. I have some tomato plants that are in desperate need of potting on.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon, and I've worked up an appetite.

Have you ever got onto a loop where you find that you have fed back into the beginning again ?

Ah, yes, a causality loop.

Well, my novel is, in part, about time travel...

Good to see that postcards of Highland Coos standing in telephone boxes with a "waiting for your call" caption are still doing the rounds.

I suspect that the point of the photo may be lost on younger viewers who wouldn't know what a phone box actually is.

A friend posted a spoof for a Mercedes AA battery powered car on FB which had us both laughing ! It was done very well !

I went to the Men's Shed this afternoon . There was a talk about security .
I took my Coventry Eagle Triple Ace Convertible Tandem . I cobbled together a gear cable but it came undone on the way out so it was a struggle pedaling . I made it there and back . I will pop over to a cycle shop tomorrow and buy another year cable . I lost the old metal adjustable connector barrel when it went ping on a ride .
I did just over 2 miles this afternoon .

Someone hacked my Spotify account. Luckily no financial data held on there. I think we'll be moving the family account to somewhere that supports multifactor authentication.

Went into Oban this morning and got my hair cut. Yes I still have enough to get cut.
Nonperishable shopping done and the barber told me of a shop which still sold mobility scooters . Went in on spec to check anything possible out and found an efoldi thingy which they were selling on behalf on somebody and they did not seem too happy that I concentrated on this as they would make no profit selling it. Just got a phone call giving me a price which I hummed and hawwed about but eventually said yes. They must be desperate to sell as it is £1000 less than I might have paid but I am not telling them that.
Sitting out in the sun resting now and noticed I have a recumbent tan on my legs. Nice and brown in front but not on the back.

Some tomatoes re-potted. Just sat down watching Antiques Roadtrip. Still have two more plants to do, and then I'll have no more compost left to do the last ones.

Will pick up another bag when I take the parental into town later in the week. Mum has a couple of things she needs to sort, and my Kelek is finally ready to pick up from the watchmaker after its service.

Finished repotting the tomatoes as far as I could, and then took a camping chair and sat in the sun for half an hour.

Now sat down with a

Didn't you already say that?

Fish and chips went down extremely well.

Aaaaanyways, almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Faggot and peas for us tonight, and bread to mop up the gravy.
