Second cuppa went down well a bit late compared to normal but worth the wait.

Strava sillyness on steps taken on a walk continues, 2.48 miles this pm (a corner shop for a print in store return of used coffee machine pods and the Co-op) was apparently 2064 steps whereas yesterdays walks to Toolstation were 1554 steps for 2.96 miles back via the Co-op and 1380 steps for 3.02 miles back via a fruitless visit to B&Q.
The light tube issue was resolved by one from Screwfix which actually clicked into place unlike the Toolstation ones.
The bike shed temperature sensor issue traced to it somehow getting wet, presume the wind had blown a snow flake through the tiniest of a gap at the exact height.

My Garmin seems to reckon 2129.4 steps is a mile

Mild, dry and VERY blustery here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept OK-ish, but punctuated by necessary visitations to the Little Girls' Room. Feel much better than yesterday - just tired now, rather than unwell.

Have had a quiet morning. Unpacked and stashed the job lot of Gourmet Gold cans I bought from Zooplus, then put the box and the rest of the packaging in the utility room. Zooplus uses really decent packaging, and so I do keep the smaller boxes and internal padding stuff to re-use. They've stopped using the plastic air cell things of late and have switched to these tubular sections of heavy paper.

I have a few large branches down in this gale, but while I've done a bit of a recce, it's too blowy to want to do any clearing up. Don't want to risk getting kloinked on the noggin by more stuff coming down - my brain is already addled enough as it is.

Also put a new bottle of bubble bath in the bathroom as I emptied out the old one last night.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

Waiting for a tray bake to come out the oven ready for Mrs73 to take to her monthly area meeting.
Some only come for my cake I've been told, a crises email went round before the last one as Mrs 73 unable to to attend due to having attended a different one.

I have " steps " as one of the data fields in the walk activity on my Garmin. I average 1,250 steps per KM which is about 2000 steps per mile.

My fitband averages similar - 1,300 steps per km.

Flying wheelie bin weather here. And very wet !

 

[PeteXXX]

I don't have a Garmin. Or a Fitbit.

 

[fossyant]

The bins are safe, the wind has dropped.

I have the fatbit but not the Garmin.

 

[tom73]

Tray bake all iced and ready for tomorrow.

 

[PeteXXX]

I don't have a Fatbit either 😂

Had a lovely luncheon of pate on wholemeal toast, an apple, a pear, some cheese & biscuits and two

Made a lovely pot of chicken, leek & noodle soup with the stock from the two carcasses. Now just having a bit of a bum park before tackling the pie filling for later.

Still very blowy here.

Still blowing well with some blue sky here and there
