I'm in India on a work trip for a few days. Walking over to a morning meeting on a sylvan campus just after a rain shower - a flock of red-whiskered bulbuls happily chattering and flitting from branch to branch. A wonderful way to start the day. Needless to say, I was more than a few minutes late for my meeting.....

Grey, mild and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard. It rained overnight as everything is a bit soggy.

Slept well - the best in quite a few days. Can't remember if I dreamed or not. Did a load of laundry this morning, and then spent the rest of the time processing archive material.

Working on the archive has been a mix of eureka moments and frustration of late. One of the people I'm working with is a really lovely chap, but he has a totally different idea of what is or isn't useful. Yes, the articles are interesting, but what I'm *really* after are results sheets and monthly points charts. The eureka moment occurred when, thanks to the points charts, I managed to pin down a significant moment in the history of the ex-Howard Cole car.

This afternoon, one of the tasks on the agenda is to make a nice big pot of celeriac soup.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.

I cycled through Ashford today, a very soulless place indeed I thought.

Are you related to Captain Oates ?




Just asking !

 

[Illaveago]

I'm back.
Still didn't find the bag/box of photos that are 'somewhere up there', apparently.. 🙄

I had one of those moments a while ago but luckily I found mine tucked inside a book. They are pictures of some transfers I need to make for my Falcon frame.

The american meaning of hoe is different to the British, here its just a garden implement.

Had a lovely luncheon of two slices of wholemeal toast, one with taramasalata, one with cheddar & apricot chutney, plus an apple, a tangerine and two

Soup is simmering away, brought a stack of lace patterns from the utility room for the parental to peruse and the laundry has been hung up to dry in the bathroom.

It is now raining outside.

MrsPete drove me into town and back today.
That'll save me having to buy tickets for Alton Towers.....

Mother's Day took an unexpected turn with a poorly Hebe Jr. Today has been spent looking after her and packing the first two boxes of books to be sold.

That’s no way to refer to her.

New data inputted into the short oval section of the archive. I'm as up-to-date as I can be with that. I will need to get confirmation as to how the points system works - and see if it matches my guesstimate.

Now sitting back with a and a 2 finger kit kat.
