@Speicher I thought Wol might like to see Dave's stick too.

Whilst I was out in our garden this morning I heard a strange noise and then saw 2 Herons flying low in close formation across our garden . It was a bit like watching an air display !

Looks like the flexi joint on my Ford Transit which was a continual source of trouble. It blew at unpredictable intervals and I used to carry an emergency repair kit with me at all times.

Raining steadily again and forecast to continue into the forseeable future.
Very depressing.
Not done another covid test yet as my wildlife pal got the bug about the same time as myself and he is still showing positive.
I have a blood test booked next week and will wait a bit until nearer the time for that to check again. I think I need two consecutive favourable test results before confirming the bloods. Still coughing particularly in bed but the sore throat has abated a bit.

She might be terribly offended by you getting her name wrong.
Ah yes but I was terribly, terribly offended. Which trumps just one terribly.
(corrected)
And today is nearly done. Hurrah. I pulled my socks up, counted my blessings, donated to a friend's hospice fundraiser and replanned tomorrow. Solar panels still not here but the installer is going to do some prep work for the battery and inverter tomorrow. So if the panels do arrive on the new date of Friday we'll be good to go soon after.

It's been a lovely autumnal day here chez Casa Reynard.
I did not sleep well. OK, well I had to get up to use the little girls' room, and then I couldn't get back to sleep. But I have had a constructive day nonetheless, as I spent it catching up with a load of mending that needed doing, and that I'd been putting off for a while. I haven't quite finished as a couple of the jobs are a bit fiddly, and I don't have the right colour of proper sewing thread to match the hiking trousers that need fixing. I cycle in them, and the nose of the saddle has rubbed the stitching on a seam in a potentially embarrassing place...
Also found a bit of time to do some work on the Higman model - taking advantage of the good weather to do some glueing of parts outside.I drilled the holes in the roll cage to take the wires to hold the roof in place and bonded the wires in, but then I had to make a new roof (this panel sits under the cab bodywork, which I have yet to make) as the original didn't fit right. I got the dimensions wrong when I originally made it, and then bodged it to fit, but now that I've got the wires in place, the cut back rails didn't sit straight. It was easier to make a new panel than keep trying to botch the old one.
Anyways, cats have been fed, and now I'm off to cook supper...

My fountain pens have arrived, 3 days after I ordered them. They work off a syphon system, like the old Schaeffer's. So from the ink pot, straight into the pen, no cartridge.
