Another brrrrrrrrrrright and chhhhhhhilly day here chez Casa Reynard, although there is still some fog clinging on in places.
Did not sleep well. Between lady issues and me struggling to heat the house above 14C despite my shovelling firewood into the heating like it's going out of fashion, I had a very cold and restless night. At least this seems to be the last of the really cold days for the foreseeable future. Tomorrow's forecast of 7C seems positively tropical.
I had a gentle morning - sorted out the fire, took the kitchen peelings out to the compost bin and got a pot of stock for soup going. I had the bone from that beef we had over the holidays, plus a bacon knuckle I picked up on sticker from the hot deli counter, so that's in a pot now simmering away with some veg and a couple of bay leaves.
Sorry I went silent last night, I fell down a nerding rabbit hole trying to trace the history of a particular race car. I was furkling through an archive of stock car photos one by one, as the search option is as useful as a chocolate teapot because most of the photos in it are not labelled or annotated. I've got its original build date, and can trace it through a couple of rebuilds / modifications till mid-1983, when it gets put up for sale by its second owner. And then I pick up the story again in late February of 1984 and can trace it through that season - whereupon my interest in it ends. I need to now plug that hole (an important piece of information for my archive), but I do have a couple of racing friends who might know.
Anyways, it is time for luncheon.
