Digging through the bike clothes mountain and I realise I've got two black heavy weight winter jackets - only thought I had one ! - Bonus 
Currently packing for a biking weekend, but have to take a verity of tops/shorts depending upon how the weather turns out. It's currently looking warm with showers.

It's been a pretty decent if somewhat blustery autumn day here chez Casa Reynard.
I slept OK-ish, but the old grey matter was busy as I'd found myself having to deal with a bit of emergency DIY... Last night I forgot to take my keys out of the bar bag on my bike, so I went out into the hallway to retrieve them. Only to see a little intruder zip through a hole in the window ledge and into the cavity wall. Buggery...
Well that explains how the little sods have been getting in - I thought I'd sorted it. Anyways, today's task was blocking up that hole. So off to town for some suitable supplies. Couldn't get exactly what I wanted - the DIY shelves in Wilko are pretty well much bare, but I managed to snag a tube of gorilla glue-ish fillery sort of thing. Anyways, after a day spent cutting, sawing, chiseling, sanding and playing tetris with pieces of wood, the surprisingly large hole is now blocked up.
And I've left the little bar stewards a sting in the tail, as I've got a load of two inch nails sticking out of the bottom of the repair so that they can't chew it. Now I need to figure out how and where they're getting in the other side. I do have my suspicions though, so I shall be heading off to Jewson for a large bag of mortar. and some wire mesh.
In better news, I have (I think) sorted out the paint issues on the Higman's rear wing. And I've decided to re-make the rear section of the exhaust and back box rather than waste my time sanding off the epoxy on some really fiddly parts and risk damaging them.
Now sat back with a
and a chocolate biskit.

Does anyone watch "Pointless" on BBC? What do you think of the guest presenters following the departure of Richard Osman? I like the current one, Stephen Mangan. as he speaks very clearly.
Another question - Can constant loud noises make you feel ill, if you are not used to them? I was finding it difficult to concentrate.
For the last three weeks (six days a week) men have been digging up the pavements, installing cables and relaying the tarmac. So there has been a pile-driver, or jack hammer, digging machine, small roller, and all the vehicles to bring the men and the equipment. Sometimes it sounded like there was a helicopter overhead. This is normally a very quiet street in a quiet part of a quiet county.

I’ve been enjoying it with him too but I think that might be his stint done. Wonder who will be next.
Re noise, I have quite acute hearing and am very noise intolerant too. It really gets to me.

Roast chicken dinner, at grandson's request after the school run, followed by yoghurt & honey washed down with hot Vimto.
I like Vimto, but struggle a bit with idea of hot Vimto.
Anyone remember the Sarsaparilla shop in Cardiff?
