Mine takes 45 seconds if I go down the stairs slowly but it can be done quicker but I can't be bothered. 😁

Warm, overcast and breezy here chez Casa Reynard.
Slept well, didn't hear any crashing or banging, but it very obviously rained overnight. Today is another chutney making day, so spent the morning peeling and chopping two kilos of tomatoes and a large chunk of ginger. Still have apples and onions to do, and then it can cook away while I do some other things.
Need to get that letter in the post and print out another chapter of my novel to add to the hardcopy version I keep. Not only does it form an extra back-up, it means I have everything at my fingertips if I need to check for continuity and stuff.
Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.

Aldi, Jazz are very good and a lot cheaper.
Also they do them in a smaller size. Better for the calorie conscious.

Oh, and I'm a happy bunny... 
A random aside last night by someone on one of the FB stock car groups I lurk on confirmed something for me that's been bugging me for a fair while. I made a guesstimate based on what's in my archive, but couldn't prove it because I didn't have all the information. Now I do - and have two new photos to boot.
Short oval data and stats are much more patchy than stuff from circuit racing, which is what makes it so challenging. But then, when you DO manage to chase down something useful, it's VERY satisfying.

I'm pleased for you, even though I don't understand a word
Just been told it was just after 1 am not 3 am so not sure what I heard
Did the earth move and you didn't remember it? 🤔 😂
Had a checkup this morning and they are happy with me, described my recovery as amazing and said I would more than likely still be on crutches if I had been a sedentary person. My ankle will only ever be about 80% as strong as it was however and there will be a risk of arthritis in the future 
He told me to keep cycling and slowly increase the mileage. I didn't tell him about cycling to the Ayr on a loaded Brompton in June

Another 5 minute job !
Just discovered that our toilet flush valve is leaking . I thought that it was lime scale build up . I removed part of the unit . Well designed in having a bayonet fitting . De scaled it and put it back . The flush works but will not seal and will continue to empty . I have now discovered that the replacement part is not available and so a new thing will have to be fitted .
This is where it turns into a saga ! The cistern will have to be removed . It is bolted to the bowl /pan thingy. To make it even easier someone has grouted it to the wall !

A pattern seems to be establishing regarding our weather. A dismal start to the day but by about midday it clears up and sun comes out.
Turned into a hot afternoon up to 21.6C outside with a brisk wind but definitely no wind chill.
Should have been out on my trike but started gardening by cutting down some of my "weeds" ie wildflower patch with a scythe so had to continue until it got too hot for me so I sat in the shade with a bottle of non alcohol beer. Even that got too hot so back indoors with the windows open.
Lots of touroid around with funny hats, small backpacks and walking poles. Must be heading over the golf course to Bloody Bay or even Ardmore Point.
The current crop are different from the last lot as they are more middle aged and prosperous looking and stay in the Western Isles Hotel which is not cheap.

Pity they don't still run the double decker trains, tho they were rather unpleasant in the summer on the upper deck.
You need to take her on a heritage route which runs the old Routemasters
Thanks for that, I now feel old, remembering when they were the brand new buses for London!

Not now though. It's all over for another year.
How's the blazer?
