I've won $hk40 on the lottery here, about a fiver.
What shall I spend my winnings on?

Warm, still and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.
Slept well, and have had a busy morning in the kitchen. This included finishing off the tomato sauce with onions, garlic and fresh basil. It's now simmering away and smells lush. I've also prepped the fruit (apples and plums) and the topping for a crumble. All I need to do is assemble and wang in the oven later.
Now sat here with a
and some cheese on toast watching the live feed from London.
I shall go into town this afternoon. I need some bits from the art shop for my archive (I've run out of those hole reinforcer doodads and I'm low on photo corners), also need to pop into wilkinsons as I've run out of brown paper and floor polish, and then I'll pop into Tesco to do a little top up as I ended up not going on Saturday and I've less of some things than I'd like.

Right, the ceremonial stuff has been watched. Time to put some presentable clothes on and tootle off into town.
Same with Polos - ? But some years back, a clever d**k decided to market the holes. Basically a peppermint Tic Tac, but apparently they did sell quite well - !
Took the wee car for his annual service & MOT today. As I'm still using a very good garage which used to be two minutes from my place of work, I went there today; 12 miles away. So what did I do rather than just kick my heels for some time - ? As any good cyclist would; bike in the back of the car, duly dropped car off, onto bike and enjoyed a very pleasant six hours cycling the byways of the region and munched an excellent cheese & bacon turnover, coffee and a cherry + coconut slice at the Hingham Bakery whilst watching the world go by.

What I would term a wasted day. Nothing useful done. Went up to my top garden to rake up some of the debris from my recent scything but the rain came on.
Lost my general purpose specs so just been back up to my top shed to look there but found them where I left them in the house.
Son just phoned as he is off in the morning for another month in Taiwan. He has been training for a triathlon event there so it cannot be just all work.

Just been watching something strange !
I noticed a large old Black Labrador stood on a pavement opposite our house . There was an old lady walking up the road about 30 yards away . The lady stopped and then went back towards the dog . She picked up the dogs lead and tried to get the dog to walk with her but it sat still . The lady then walked off again . The lady then went back to the dog which had now decided to lay down ! I said to my wife shall I go over and see if they needed any help but a neighbour beat me to it and was walking over towards them . After some chatting the chap went back for his car . The lady got into the car , the dog went over to get into the car with its tail wagging. They attempted to lift the dog into the car so I assumed that that was it . I then saw our neighbour drive by our house without the lady or the dog . I then saw the lady and the dog walking back down the road as if nothing had happened !
