Will you be dashing around soon ?
In a serendipitous moment, the gas man is coming this morning to service the central heating boiler...

When the "big mill " came to the farm we had to carry 10stone bags of corn up a stair on one occasion tho' 1cwt was more usual. Cannot be bothered working it out but that is quite a few kilos.
It did stand me in good stead in distillery days when I was able to shame a complaining worker by getting into competition with him unloading a lorry of bagged malted barley and making him work really hard to keep up. Not something a manager would or could do normally but it worked and shut him up.

Currently sat in Leeds Bradford Airport waiting for our flight to Fuertaventura - security was a doddle as they've got staff now, so paying for fast-track wasn't worth it*.
Son no. 2's dropped us off and is off to ride the Pennypit circuit, which is this year's BUCS national road race course.
* My bug-filled self is in a corner, away from others and medicated to the eyeballs. I need sleep!

Looks like another day with weather same as yesterday. Sunny with heavy showers and a bit windy.
Nothing planned as just waiting around on a hospital appointment letter.
If nothing turns up I will need to phone them after I have set off travelling tomorrow.
One problem is that our postal deliveries are a bit erratic ie anytime from mid afternoon till early evening.

I don't have a television.
Or at least I don't have a working one since yesterday. It looks like I'm going to have to get a new one. I wonder if they make them with some way of manually operating. My dead one has no buttons at all, front or back.

I suggest you remember that any button controlling the brightness will not work. I have tried mine, and it does not make the presenters or the programmes more intelligent.

A mild and currently sunny day here chez Casa Reynard, but rain is forecast for later.
Slept really well. Have had a quiet morning sorting out some of the shopping that I did over the weekend. Also needed to fill up the fruit bowls, as they were rather empty. I have also sorted out some of the fruit I bought to make a decent batch of jam this afternoon.
The days where you could get mountains of fruit stupid cheap on yellow sticker are long gone, so I took the opportunity on Saturday evening and yesterday when it presented itself.
I have also done some more work on my research, and things are really starting to come together. A lot of the evidence I have regarding the history of the car is circumstantial, but when you put it all together, it's becoming clear that what people have been assuming about it for years is actually not the case. This is the issue you get with Spedeworth - things weren't always that well documented, and its history seems to be largely word-of-mouth. I have to do the best I can with the former, but the latter has definitely proved that a) people's memories are fallible, and b) someone's random assumption then gets taken as fact because no one is mad enough to spend several months trying to join all the dots together.
Except for me.
Having said that, my archive *does* give me a unique perspective, and when you file things in chronological order, errors do tend to stand out like a sore thumb. And it's the trying to get to the bottom of those inconsistencies is what has led me down this blasted slippery slope... 
Anyways, it is time for luncheon.
