I've discovered another set of cupboards full of junk in the bike workshop.
It's not junk. It will all be useful the day after you throw it out.

Bob had a fight with another cat yesterday evening. He was hobbling slightly, but worse this morning so he had a trip to the Vet. Nice lady vet administered aunty bionics.
We are now both recovering. He decided to sleep on my bed last night, but kept prodding me with his paw. Normally he would have got shhhooooed off the bed if he does not settle down. As he was injured, he got lots of sympathy. I had a disturbed night until about 5am when he decided it was time for breakfast.

For reasons unknown, I put a bottle of Listerine in the fridge when I was putting my shopping away
Was it Cool Mint? If so, it's even cooler now.

that winter, I got kidnapped by some friends, two brothers, during school hours. we went for a drive in their Dad's giant sedan. the kid driving, spun-out & we did a full 360 on a highway service road, w/o hitting anything! this song was playing super loud. I went into an altered state of consciousness, w/o any dr*gs. got me back in time for the last 15 minutes of regents geometry (where I was a straight-A student). came running in, apologized to Mr. Sherman & sat down. after class I explained what happened. he was so strict, but he didn't punish me. maybe because I went to class even tho I was late & explained afterwards. don't know for sure. that guy was amazing. he could draw a perfect circle on the chalk board, behind his back, w/o even looking!

I've had mustaches over the years. for while, it came in salt-n-pepper. so I used over the counter "sun-in" normally used for summer highlights, on the stash, just to lighten the darker hairs. kind of evened it out
several decades earlier, while partying on a July 4th, I tried to lighten my hair for the summer, but it turned my whole head of hair white. after the party I went to a 24hr drugstore & got some brown hair color, but it kinda came out orange-ish. next day, at my over-the-counter copy-shop job, one of our regular customer couldn't help but ask "what happened to your hair". why there are no pictures, I don't know

Overcast but a watery sun is trying to break though. For once rain is not forecast. Very odd as it has rained nearly every day recently. Temp is even as high as 14.1C but I think long trousers are still advisable when out on the trike.
Do you have tourists?

I've just had to order a new BB for a bike despite having a box full of the things.

Just been to the local Aldi, lady in front entered store, but a guy runs out past us both carrying a basket with a few packets of steak (I mean a few, just enough to cover the bottom of the basket). I mean, it's not like there was more than £30 of meat, but why risk it - something of high value, maybe ?
Don't think so. Just self-entitled locals.

Hot and sunny here chez Casa Reynard.
Sleep was fitful thanks to an earworm than I've now forgotten. Did a bit of erranding this morning with middling success. Wilkinsons is still out of liquid soap flakes for handwashing stuff, and they didn't have any suitable pots for potting on my walnut sapplings, but I am now stocked up on "fragile" tape, bubble wrap, luggage labels (for custom gift tags) and another double-walled metal drinks bottle.
The art shop was out of heavyweight white A4 card, so I bought a pack of A3 instead, and I will simply cut each sheet in half. Worked out cheaper than buying two packs of A4 and all. I also bought a new 0.5mm black artists pen, as I use that for labeling stuff in the archive.
Tesco was fun... NOT. I popped in to print up another batch of prints for my archive, but the machine kept declining my card.
I also needed to put some fuel in the car, so decided to try the card in the petrol station, and it was fine. So it's not my card, but the damn print machine throwing a wobbly.
Fortunately one of my usual till ladies was working in the petrol station kiosk, so it wouldn't have been a problem there if the card reader spat out my card - in fact, she was wondering why I didn't pay with cash like I usually do. So we had a bit of a chinwag about budgeting and a few other things.
I will try and do the prints when I go shopping on Saturday evening.
Had a lovely luncheon of a toasted bagel, half with hummus, half with sliced avocado, plus a pear, some raspberries and two
Now back to working on the Chevron B38 drawing.

Nice run but a bit windy ie half a gale this morning and traffic was mostly cooperative. At my "bad corner" one car came from behind so I pulled into the passing place to let it past and it sped round the blind corner and since there was no screech, bang, tinkle tinkle I felt safe to follow.
These noises I was only too familiar with when we lived in Bowling in a 30mph limit with a slight bend. In the middle of the night the noise came and we knew immediately somebody had failed to take the bend. It got so bad that the ambulances simply pulled into our driveway and the personnel came in our front door and turned right into the kitchen without any guidance. Fortunately the kitchen floor was tiled so the usual bloodstains were easy to wash off but the phone usually had bloody fingerprints as well.
I notice that the oil refinery at Grangemouth is out on strike and they are picketing tankers trying to get in so it seemed a good idea to nip down the the local garage for a fuel top up.
Chaos with 3 service buses and three large tour buses all disgorging day trippers who stravaig everywhere with no care.
The post office and sorting office is at the car park entrance as well so they were also trying to get sorted and the vans loaded in the middle of all this.
