Was a lovely mild and sunny but rather blustery day here chez Casa Reynard.

Did not sleep well (too achey after yesterday, and brain wouldn't switch off), so slept in a bit again. Prepped the fruit and topping for a crumble, and then listened to the F1 from Singapore while enjoying a :cuppa: and a sausage sandwich.

After the race, I went walnutting again - to my favourite tree this time. As it's been picked clean to well above head height, this is now a furkle on hands and knees job. The blustery wind worked in my favour, and I picked a whole wicker basket full. Most of them are out of the husks already, so just need to set them out to dry. Today's haul tops out at six kilos.

Had soup, a sausage roll and crumble and custard for supper. The crumble is lush - it's apple, pear & blackberry. :hungry:

Now watching the F1 highlights.

Re the walnuts. When at school we used stand below the tree and throw sticks as high as possible to dislodge any on the point of falling. Helensbugh had wide side streets with generous pavement space and the trees overhung the pavement so we were not on any private land.:whistle:

Another damp day and high winds forecast for later tho' probably not enough to get ferries cancelled.
I can never understand people who come here to live without doing any research.
On FB somebody asked if there any things not available here that they would like. Lots replies wanting all sorts of things which are in fact available here and have been for many years.

I remember crewing on a sailing yacht and spending most of the week holed up in loch linnie! The Skippers wife wouldn't sail in more than f4!!

Yes, the person holding a Power of Attorney is not necessarily the person who will act as Executor of the Will.

In the UK you do not need to use a Solicitor to create a Power of Attorney (Health or Finance). You can download the forms and then get them witnessed.

I think there have been some scams where they have taken over people's houses.

Morning all. It started off a bit grey this morning, but it's brightening up quite nicely. Coffee number 1 has been consumed. The recycling bin needs to be retrieved from the end of the path and returned to its normal place by the back door now it's been emptied. All that's planned for today is a trip into town to get a birthday card for my half brother and then off in the other direction to get some food for work this week.
