Mundane News

[Reynard]

The good news is that it re-opened last night, although there's one driver that won't be able to use that road again.

Don't do it boats are an expensive hobby

Hole in the water, and you throw money in.

It is pleasant to have the house cooler for a while. The Patient feels the cold and the house is usually too warm for my liking. It is 18 degrees at present with just a small fan heater in the lounge to keep him warm.

Casa Reynard usually runs at around 18 to 19C during the winter. Currently 18.5 according to the thermometer on the book case, which is plenty comfy enough.

I don't like it cold, but I hate it when it gets too hot. I'd rather go for another layer than crank the heating up. And of course, cranking the heating up means shovelling more wood in...

His MB MkIX seat?

I think he has a top of the range Mazda, will have a look tomorrow.

His task with the Reservists was to oversee the loading, and then fly (in the aircraft), of tanks. The MK 1X might be a bit old to be used in the Iraq war,

It is my feet and hands that might get cold. The lounge is very cosy. I will put on extra layers to go to bed.

This is where my collection of pink fluffy socks comes in real handy.

For my feet, at least. A hot sorts out chilly fingers.

Good morning.

<yawn>

You've got me yawning now.

 

[Andy in Germany]

what a lovely view!

It is that. The hills in the distance are the Swabian Jura, and mark the watershed between the Rhine and the Danube. It's also nice to be able to see the valleys I've cycled up on occasion.

Time for a ride before the rain arrives

Back home and first cuppa brewing
A refreshing 16 mile loop completed
With a forecast showing a 90% chance of heavy rain between 7 and 8am and a busy family day ahead that will do .

Drop the remaining key on the floor, and listen to how it sounds when it hits the floor.
An almost of flat sound when it hits indicates it's been cut too quick. It got warm whilst being cut, reducing the metals strength.

You can try the same drop test on the broken keys. A similar sound would have me going to another shop.

Don't do it near a drain though !

Morning .
It is still dark out but it looked dry when I looked out.
I'm not sure if I will be able to squeeze in a few miles on the bike today as BIL and SIL are arriving .

 

[biggs682]

First cuppa went down well
Might be tempted to get a second one yet

I seem to have been overlooked for a knighthood yet again for my services to CC!
