And here we are

I walked past a person in Tescos who smelled of TCP.

Hoppy the one legged pigeon is pecking at the grass for this morning's breakfast.

In the pot come dinner time ?

Awaiting APC collection of 2 boxes

APC are worst couriers in my neck of the woods. All couriers seem to have the odd bad apple but APC's depot in Bermondsey is a complete shambolic mess. I know this because I went there to pick up a package they'd failed to deliver and witnessed first hand their chaotic incompetence.

Here Royal Mail is currently pretty dire.
A package was recorded as being delivered to me but had not appeared. Called at the PO and was told it would be delivered that afternoon.
The address had a very minor error and had gone to another address but postman was told where it should have gone by them.
He claimed he did not know where to deliver it as nobody he spoke to knew who I was.
Letters are delivered to me by the same person but in a community of 1000 nobody had ever heard of me?
He is a settler and probably only asked his own kind who know nothing and nobody anyway.

Warm and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I did not sleep well. Pre-monthly bloating is horrendous - and really painful. I feel (and look) like Harry Potter's Aunt Marge at the beginning of The Prisoner of Azkaban. And no, farting *doesn't* help...

Nightmare morning as well. One of the girls had a "klingon" after using the tray during the night. The parental unit didn't notice, trod in it, and then tracked cat poo all through the house, blissfully unaware. Ergo I've been mopping floors and scrubbing carpets and I'm just really fed up. I can still smell cat poo, but I can't work out where it's coming from.

All I want to do is curl up in a chair with a good book and self-medicate with chocolate.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.

Well he turned up in the allotted time slot so can't complain

Just started a beginners press up program. It confirms I have no upper body strength. Be interesting to see if I can follow it and make progression.

Mrs 73 just let me know it's the big monthly meeting tomorrow. Well it's too warm to have the oven on and i'm still playing catch up with jobs at home. So had to do a quick trip into town and got wet. Rocky road made and setting in the fridge , now a quick then back to my jobs.

 

[Reynard]

Had a lovely luncheon of a steak sandwich, an apple, some raspberries and two

Just going to chill for the rest of the afternoon.

 

[oldwheels]

Considered going out on the trike but then the rain came on so cancelled that idea.

Spent some productive time searching and eventually finding some bike bits I needed but they had gone into hiding.

Modified a couple of walking poles to see if they work to improve my walking by keeping me straight up rather than stooped which I think is a habit a lot of ancients get into.

Rescheduled Royal Mail to deliver tomorrow so on the door step, admittedly hidden by a shrub, I find the parcel today.

I bought a tyre quite cheaply to avoid the expensive alternative. However, the seller's courier has lost the cheaper tyre and are having to refund me. So I've had to buy the more expensive one anyway.
