I just managed to accidentally empty my email inbox this morning. While there are advantages to an empty inbox, having to rummage through the bin for mails that I haven't dealt with is a pain. There's 575 messages still to go through.

Is there a word for when something you do so routinely goes completely wrong?

Lots of them and they are very frequently rude !!

Warm but mostly overcast here chez Casa Reynard.

Feel bloody awful today, tired and crampy and grumpy, but at least my judges reports have been done and sent off.

All I want is a hot water bottle, some chocolate and some paracetamol.

Amongst other things making bracelets can be entertaining on a rainy "tent day".

There was a Woodpecker visiting . I saw it sat in the top of a fir tree near our garden . It was making a loud tick, tick noise. I heard it yesterday but didn't see it . I think it might be a Lesser Spotted one , not much bigger than a Starling .

Meanwhile I'm having a beer and pizza in Bristol. Though beers and a pizza is more accurate.

Very frustrating day as when I go out the rain starts but go back inside and it stops.
Panic buying day again as no coop lorry due allegedly to problems at the depot. Everybody will be keeling over from starvation by tomorrow.
There is a very good Spar about 10 miles away so some no doubt will be heading there.
Something very strange with my potato crop this year. Looked very healthy but suddenly the haulms all wilted as tho' sprayed with herbicide which used to be common practice on farms as it made mechanical harvesting easier. I certainly have not sprayed anything and the chances of anybody else doing it are virtually nil.
The potatoes themselves are fine but a bit small as growth was stopped too early. Mystery so far.

Well according to the whipper snapper who carried out my eye test told me that no change in 4 years so no new glasses required

Back from my walk along Cut Throat Lane with 🐶. Enough blackberries picked for 3 individual pies, with the pastry I had left, plus some to liven up my bran flakes in the morning.
