Sea a bit rough. Deck taking on some strange angles and tilts.

Just worked out who our local sneezer is

Grey and cool here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept OK-ish. Have spent the morning writing, plus I have also found the bunch of salad onions that I thought I'd lost.

It is almost time for luncheon.

All sorted. Cafe open. Just waiting on my breakfast now

There was a big SOS in here as when I arrived the staff were standing out in the street. Seems there was a spider in the till and two girls who work here were terrified and ran outside until another customer had removed the offender

Must have tempting to remove a few tenners as well...

Sounds like money spiders to me. The lasses will have lost out on their share of luck.

Ooh! Polo neck sweaters! . Late 60's early 70's ?

Polo shirts, not jumpers. Sort of like the Ralph Lauren jobbies.

This part of the story is set in the present day, and the character in question is a retired Formula One driver. In the bit of the story set three decades prior, he is a current Formula One driver.

It is amazing what a lucky buy at an auction can come up with . It brought back some memories from the 60's and set me off to do a bit of research .
It is trying to fit the pictures in my memory to dates and other bits , a bit like a jigsaw puzzle . 1962/63 was the really bad snow and frost time . Fun when you were young as I was off school for some time . Frozen toilets! They were outside across the playground in those days. Junior school .

My mate Simon has a version of that painting on the sleeve of an LP which has the commentary of the actual race.

A very fine luncheon of a ham, cheese and cucumber sandwich, plus a tangerine, a banana, some cherries and two

Ahh, that's better, I was a bit worried - !
Admit to being seduced by the Chocolate Siren most nights, she is such a temptress - !

Ever been enchanted by the Yellow Sticker version of the Chocolate Siren?

A nice lunch at the new cafe at Kanturk Golf Club following son no. 2's race earlier; he was in the break, got a puncture and never made it back on.

So we went to the Donkey Sanctuary as our B&B key won't open the door.

It's still raining in Co. Cork.

Will they make sex illegal next ?

Well if you don't want a baby don't have sex, it's pretty basic.

All the tomatoes have now been *finally* been moved to the big planters. Plus I've also potted on four lots of parsley, a pot of chives and a tub of basil.

I was thinking more about what was going on in New York, about changing the law about carrying concealed weapons...

The law ran afoul of the constitution

Abortion should IMHO be a matter of personal conscience, not a matter of law. Just because a particular group of people disagree with something - be it abortion, be it same-sex marriage, contraception etc, that doesn't then mean that they should then impose their worldview on everyone else.

How about murder being a matter of personal conscience? Seems to me that going around killing people should be made illegal.
