Warm and sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Took me a while to drift off last night, but I slept well. Fed the tomatoes this morning, and then made a batch of hummus. If anyone can smell garlic and lemon wafting past on the breeze, that'll be me.

Also completed another chapter of my writing project, so that's 19 down, now. Realised last night (while having a bath) that the reason I was struggling with things, was that I'd gone beyond the natural point at which to end the action. So I've done that, and moved the overspill into the next chapter.

Anyways, it's time for luncheon.

Good morning. Overcast and breezy today. I bet I'll have a headwind on the way to work.

Must remember to shave before I go.

Yup. Bidirectional headwind.

I remembered to shave.

I've cut my grass.
By cut my grass, I mean I've snipped off the long pokey-up bits and left the straw until it turns green again.. ✂

Thank

Morning .
Got to rush this morning as we are doing a museum stand at a dog show in Corsham . We will be there all day!

That’s a coincidence, I just got back from a gig in the shopping centre there.

I keep looking at the back lawn and wondering if just a pair of nail scissors on the long pokey-up bits will do the trick.

Finishing a coffee here, then off to walk a stretch of overgrown and narrow towpath in the hope of securing a couple more veloviewer tiles.

They are holding horse trials at the eventing center just the other side of the railway. I can hear the tannoy through the open window.

Out for a ride from the caravan this morning. I'd got to the end of the site, and my speed/cadence sensor wasn't picked up. Stopped to check, and an old guy stopped, 'have you got a pump'. 'Yes', I replied, 'I'm just checking the sensor that tells me how fast I'm pedalling' - god knows what he thought, and that's on a 32 year old bike !

Sorted it when back, with a new battery, a sensor reset and a rescan. First battery the GCS10 has had since I bought it, and it was for a Garmin 705, now an Explore. Fipping tech !

Just had half an hour in the sun in the company of a radio. Come in now, as my knees are stinging a bit.

Watching the Hundred match between Trent Rockets and Birmingham Phoenix.

They won't be if they dump their rider in a nettle-filled ditch

Darn. Didn’t walk far enough. Going to work out a different way of doing it, ideally involving a bike, a road and fewer nettles.
