Rather miserable early doors here chez Casa Reynard, but it's turned into a nice autumnal afternoon.

I did not sleep well. Brain too busy trying to work something out. I went walnut furkling this morning - late in the season, I know, but when I took the car for its MOT on Saturday I noticed that there were a load in the local car park in the pile of leaves along the fence. So I popped out this morning and came back with another couple of kilos.

Been bum parked listening to Arsenal v Forest.

A nice win for the lads. I had a gammon & mustard sandwich for luncheon, along with a pear, a minneola and two

Laid up on the sofa feeling rubbish taken paracetamol and had a short sleep...

Daughter about to cook roast.

A leisurely fifty miles completed. It has been a very overcast day here until the last ten miles or so of my ride when suddenly the clouds lifted to reveal the low-lying winter sun. Riding in those conditions make me nervous for safety reasons and I tried a few different ways to get home but no matter I had to ride towards the sun. Roads are pretty quiet here anyway and the few cars that did overtake gave me much more space than average.

Bit dark out there?

It may be Hallowe'en tomorrow, but I have notices over the past few days that some very strange things are happening in my home.

Have any of you visited recently without saying so?

A question for our sports correspondents. I enjoyed watching the Women's football earlier this year, so I might watch some of the Women's Rugby.

What basic rules do I need to know?

I know you have to pass the ball backwards. Why do you have to keep hold of the ball and throw yourself on the ground then slide on the grass for three yards, once you have gone over the line?

Cos it seems obligatory to showboat... Although I don't think you see it quite so much in the ladies' game. Although I suppose you get a free facial mud pack for dodgy skin when you do it...

Paying the price for using superglue the other night, and lots of card glue last night to do some papier mache. I'm now hacking away like a 40-a-day smoker.

Other than taking some photos, I have not worked on the Higman model today.

I started this during lockdown - using whatever I had to hand. Cereal boxes, mostly...

Oh, and I forgot - the recipe for the Beef & Chickpea Madras also wants a tablespoon of tomato paste in it. Only remembered when I climbed into bed last night LOL
