Good morning. Suddenly it's warm enough that I don't need half a dozen layers in the morning.

No sunshine here but grey skies with heavy rain forecast and windy and cold as well.
My shoulder aches a bit when using my right arm as that is where I got jabbed yesterday.
Tomorrow looks hopeful for a dry day and not too windy but the forecast changes frequently.
Nothing planned but may try clearing out some of the surplus bedding and towels that have built up over some years. We did sell such stuff in our shop so probably have more than most households.

I almost sucked Octopus Prime into the vacuum cleaner this morning!!
2 tentacles were inside the sucky end but the rest wouldn't fit so it was saved!

Bonnie would have been most disgruntled to lose it.. 😔

There's a bit of a summery feel here too this morning. I might even stop sulking about the weather. I don't know how long for, though.

Just be thankful its only trains...

You could be sitting there wondering why you have to buy 60 canteloups before you give 12% of them to Mary.

@Reynard

If I give you three cats and later you give me two back, how many cats have you got?

None. The cats have you.

None. The cats have you.

That may be correct, but the question was aimed at Reynard.

Second cuppa went down well.
People are still not reading e mails fully and when they send another email asking same question I have referred them to my previous email

Commuted on the bike again today. Not so exhausted as yesterday.

If they have a single-speed category, look out for me in the Tour De France, come July

My final year, final semester undergraduate students are currently in the early part of a 24-hour exam which started at 10am this morning. I'm running the support process until 5pm today, then from 8.30 tomorrow morning.

Most of the 145 have at least accessed the exam paper. However, around 20 have decided they don't need the 3 1/2 hours they've lost to date and are fine. Looking at most of their access online / attendance records I tend to disagree

Edited: almost 6 hours in and 7 students still haven't accessed it ...

Who forgot to take the sack of bird seed out of the black bin before the mothership swallowed it

A warm and mostly sunny day here chez Casa Reynard.

I did not sleep well again - too cold this time for some reason, and I had to get up to grab a hot water bottle. Have had a quiet morning rejigging fridges and fruit bowls and puttering about gently in the garden. I cannot find my spare toaster - I know I have one (it's ancient and only takes small, thin slices of bread) but it seems to be avoiding all my efforts to discover its location.

I have, however, put a fresh battery in the clock in the kitchen, as it had lost 20 mins overnight.

The postie has also brought my Tesco clubcard voucher thingy.

Anyways, it's almost time for luncheon. And almost "ham time" for the girls.

Three, cos I've already got two.

I've just read that the Queen's funeral cost £162m

Can you imagine how many Sun Life Over 50's plans it would take ?
