I'm sure Rainham north of the Thames and Rainham south of the Thames has people confused too. I remember getting quite disorientated when I discovered that they'd moved it over the river.

A lovely sunny day here chez Casa Reynard, but by 'eck, that breeze is cold!
Slept well, and have had a quiet morning doing not a lot. I've rounded up some ingredients for tonight's supper and had a look at a damaged branch on an ornamental bay. It hasn't broken off, though that's what it looks like - it's actually split where it joined the main trunk, and in keeling over, it's taken off a branch from a nearby flowering cherry. Nothing in danger of doing any damage, so it can wait till after the weekend to get sorted. In any case, there's not a lot of space in the green wheelie bin, as that's full of ash trimmings.
I shall be doing the traditional thing of colouring hard-boiled eggs this afternoon. Got a mix of vegetable matter and food colouring to have a bit of fun with. I remember when dad was alive, colouring eggs for Easter was one heck of a palaver. And then there were these water-based transfer things that he liked to use. Those were SO tricky to get right, mine always ended up wrinkled and wonky...
Seen something I like on the Bay, so will reach out to the seller to ask if they'll take a cheque. I can't use my bank's online customer services thingy to sort out the lock on Bay of E transactions because I've changed my mobile number & provider after a spat with Virgin, and I can't change the details on my account without going through the customer services thingy. It seems that the physical bricks & mortar branches in Cambridge no longer exist, but apparently I could use a branch of Natwest instead...
Anyways, it's time for luncheon.

Picked up tickets for a train trip tomorrow. Could have got them tomorrow , but it’ll be early at station, and I don’t want to faff at a machine as the train pulls out.

Wifey & I are ALWAYS getting a ferry ticket at the last minute before the Martha's Vineyard ferry pulls away. mostly on foot, sometimes w/ bikes & at least a cpl times w/ the car. I guess we just can't get out of the house in time, prior to the 1-1.5 drive to the ferry

I am totally confused as I keep thinking this is Saturday.
Got out for a nice trike run early this morning to avoid the touroid. Slight problem with the service bus as I was going up a steep hill and the bus overshot the passing place on the blind bend at the top but the bus reversed to let me continue. They are pretty tolerant and I always get a friendly wave as they pass.
Mainland travel is chaos as Corran ferry is off with no resumption in the near future.
Two ferries are waiting in Oban for vehicles as the A82 was closed due to an accident and this means our ferry cannot dock as there is no space.

Not any more; that route's been removed due to safety concerns. It was the V714 route that goes out/back between Gilberdyke and Howden. Windy, with traffic, but otherwise OK.
