[Reynard]

Warm, humid and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard. It did rain overnight, and everything is sopping wet.

I slept really well, and I had a lovely dream, spending time with someone I truly care about. Why can't they all be like that? Waking up after isn't quite so good, though...

Spent the morning doing various odds and sods. Cat biscuits got delivered, so those have been hauled to the utility room, I hand washed a batch of bras and face masks, fried up the tray of mince I bought on YS the other day and converted a long Messenger chat into notes for the writing project - I'd been bouncing ideas around with a friend last night on character development for Dan Archibald's wife Sarah, and also for some of the backstory elements. Sometimes a fresh viewpoint is really useful.

Learned in the course of that conversation that Max Verstappen's partner is one of Nelson Piquet's many daughters. Nelson was a notorious womanizer back in the day, and had quite a few children, all by different women, not just the one he was supposedly married to... Where does this fit in? One of my minor characters (spoken about but doesn't appear in the story) will be blessed - or should that be saddled - with elements of Piquet Sr's character.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

They fished the D*mn things out of the bin after I'd chucked them, so I was happy to leave 'em to it.

Did any survive?

I don't know what Ribble Cycles have done to their system, but I can't get it to display my orders to find out what update they've put on there about my Cycle to work bike
Tried with Chrome, Brave & Edge browsers and nothing.

They're all Chrome based, try Firefox.

It wasn't *that* kind of a dream... (I do have those too...)

But grief's a bitch.

Dog is having a dream, legs, eyes & mouth all at it.

Right, time for me to put some decent clobber on and head off to do some erranding.

Need to pick up mum's prescription, then go to the art shop, Savers, Wilko and lastly to Tesco to see if they've got the bits I couldn't get on Sunday. Am taking the opportunity to do another batch of prints for my archive while I'm there.

See y'all on t'other side

One for the cat lovers on here, @Reynard might have an idea about what going on, we have three Salvia Hotlips plants in the garden, two in the front one in the back, the one out the back has had some strange attention from one of the local cats, I first noticed it sniffing the plant, it then started rubbing its face on the plant and by the time it had finished it was right under the plant with just its arse sticking out and rubbing itself all over on the plant, when it backed out it had a big stretch then started wriggling round on the path on its back before walking off, it seemed to be enjoying itself very much while it was doing it.
