[Andy in Germany]

Just tried to call our bank in the UK. I'd forgotten how much more difficult this is in the UK than in Germany...

I think I'll give it another 15 minutes before I go out - it's got much darker and the rain radar is showing a fair bit of wetness nearby.

Foolishly believed the weather forecast and hence the hung out washing is getting a post wash soaking. Was sunny as I embarked on a Toolstation and Co-op trek but just I reached Toolstation it started raining.

Could you pick me up a couple of pints whilst you are there please?

Actually, a running joke in our house was my sister always phoning up my parents to buy some milk, usually whilst on the way home from somewhere.

She appeared to use milk up but not replace it, because she never drank tea or coffee, so if we had been away somewhere and she was home, there often wouldn't be any on our return. It got to such a point that even if we were watching the telly or a film and somebody answered a phone in it, we'd invariably blurt out

"Can you get some milk?"

Especially if they had been on a long journey or had been rescued from somewhere and were on the way home/back, or some other faintly ridiculous scenario.

"Eh Apollo 13, Houston, we have a message here for Jim... Can you buy some milk?" 🤣

Ordered a tin of numeg paint for the trellises and remaining planter yesterday via B&Q as weirdly it was cheaper that way than from their supplier directly. Just been delivered by Amazon!

Been out to collect a bike that's been in a crash to look at. It's a bit of a mess. Unlike me on Friday, where I took the brunt of it, the bike has in this case and the rider was OK.

A mostly bright and sunny day here chez Casa Reynard, but with a biting and blustery northerly breeze.

Slept well. Have had a quiet day writing and watching the snooker, although I have also laundered my white coat. That is hanging upstairs to dry. Too much chance of bird poopage to want to hang it outside.

The scratches I picked up on Saturday thanks to a shirty entire BSH are healing nicely, no sign of any infection thank goodness. Only one of them is still quite painful, but it was pretty deep. Another judge got bit by a car a couple of pens down.

Now sat down with a chocolate muffin and a

Critical milk situations never happen here chez Casa Reynard on account of always keeping two litres of UHT milk in the cupboard.

I now have a nearly complete, self assembly, kit for a Raleigh Sport 300.
The garage has been full of neat piles of various parts and assemblies. Mostly reassembled after cleaning and inspection

Bits are on order. Assorted ball bearings and bits to service (fix) the cassette.
No idea how old the chain is. Also lack the means to quickly see how worn it is.
