I put my hygrometer onto the windowsill by the open kitchen window and managed to get the reading up to 68% humidity. However, the wind blew the window shut and it's now down to 62%. Where shall I put it next?

Rain stopped and the sun came out went for a quick ride to check the fettle done earlier suited. It did indeed. Blowing a gale on the seafront to the point I could lean in to the wind standing past the point where I'd normally fall over! It did help me achieve 27 mph on the flat coming home though. 😁

I have neither. But I do have a place where no longer used stuff hides. I've put it in there for now.

The rain finally relented (or so I thought) at about 2pm. By then I'd done all the domestics that needed doing and was seriously considering getting the duster out 
. As it looked dry I got the bike out instead and popped into town for a quick ride around plus to pick up some rolls for tea and food for work this week. It was very windy and the funfair on the seafront had given up and was in the middle of packing up. Then it rained again on the way home.
It's now time to clear up and head off to Cambridge to see Holiday Ghosts at the Portland Arms on the first date of their tour.

Oh oh! There goes processed food, sitting around doing nothing but watching TV, getting fat, heart disease, clogged arteries. Nope, hold up! I cycle as transport and get loads of exercise, eat well and don't spend life trying to kill myself by not paying attention to what is really important in life.

Frustrating day.
Heavy rain and then the sun came out so took some things out to do some work in the car.
Before I got there it was pouring again so back into the house. Looked out and rain stopped but as soon as I got outside rain started pouring again.
Repeat this scenario all morning and most of the afternoon.
I did manage to get most of my rearranging done to get things more accessible in between the showers but it was a bit frustrating as I prefer not to get the inside of the car wet.
We had a Fiat Panda for a while and it was parked under trees. High winds overnight blew a lot of leaves off and they blocked the drains at the bottom of the windscreen. When I moved off next morning all the water trapped there sloshed down the heater intake and on to my feet.
Rushing for a ferry and had to put up with water sloshing around for a while till we reached the terminal where it had to be bailed out.

A typical Bank Holiday here chez Casa Reynard. Wet early doors, sunny but very blustery later.
Slept really well after spending yesterday immersed in research and writing up my findings. Had a lazy morning, and then, after a quick egg mayonnaise sandwich and
I then tootled off to Tesco for the traditional yellow sticker rummage.
Bakery and green bins were a bust, the chilled stuff - well there was a lot, mainly BBQ meats and expensive ready meals, but nothing overly much of interest to me, and in any case, the reductions were only 30% on most things, so really no point. I did pick out a tray of sausages and a pack with two chocolate and caramel pastries, but that was it. Did much better in the fruit & veg where everything was reduced by 75%, and came home with a job lot of "finest" cherry tomatoes, three punnets of strawberries, two punnets of mushrooms, two packs of celery sticks, two tubs of coleslaw and some parsnips and carrots that were still on their 19p offer.
Planning on a quiet evening and an early night.
Wearing my Seiko Salvia tank today. It's a stylish thing and got some admiring glances while I was out earlier. It does need a service though (tbf I knew that when I bought it), as when it's fully wound, it has a tendency to stop and the second hand gets a bit skippy. That's basically the mainspring that's gummed up with old lubricants. If I only wind it about 2/3, it chunters away like a champ.
Anyways, time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.
