My new electric horn arrived to replace the pathetic Cowboy bell that the bike arrived with.

Who dreamt of calling a company Cowboy?

What sort of idiot would buy a bike from a company that calls itself Cowboy?

Ah! Me! Pirrock!

Hot off the press, the horn also includes a movermant aralm. Switch that off, when I understand the instructions.

A lovely warm, sunny autumnal day here chez Casa Reynard, if a tad blustery.

I slept well, and then spent the morning outdoors. Met up with a friend for a walk with her dogs, and then, puttered about in the community orchard availing myself of the bounty that no one seems to want to pick. I have quince pears, medlars, pears and three different varieties of apple - Perfection (an eating apple), Lord Burleigh (a dual-purpose) and Cottenham Seedling (cooker). There are plans afoot for making apple & ginger jam.

I ate a Perfection and a Lord Burleigh while I was puttering about. They aren't sweet, but they are SO good.

Had a lovely luncheon of two slices of wholemeal toast, one with cooked chicken, one with sliced avocado, plus a banana, a pear and the obligatory two

Having a quiet afternoon. I shall do some modelling in a bit, but I'm currently waiting for a load of laundry to finish. I do mine on the 30C "easy care" cycle, with "speed perfect" and "1200 rpm spin" selected. It takes about an hour and 20 mins to do a full load.

Karen Pirie (ITV yesterday evening) needs to improve her detective skills! I worked out who it was about an hour before she did. No spoilers obv, but it was very good. Three episodes of two hours each, a week apart.

Back from a lovely walking holiday in warm temps and swimming outdoors at end of most days. Home a day later than originally intended due to train strike on return.

I now have a template for the Higman's seat. Took the measurements from an American supplier of oval racing seats (Kirkey) and adapted it to what I could see in the photos. But I will have to make some adjustments to the width, as the seats were not designed for 15 year old Hampshire beanpoles...

It's engineering made attractive - which some engineers seem to forget to do...
