I thought I had accidentally walked on to the set of Only Fools and Horses on my way home as I met someone carrying a lifesize doll!

I kicked off with a couple of mugs of M&S Luxury Gold leaf tea this morning. It has a slightly thin metallic taste so I won't buy another packet. However, the mug of Larozza Super Bar coffee was excellent so I'll have another one.

There's a small puff of white cloud overhead which changes shape every time I look out of the window. Otherwise it's bright and cloud free.

Blown over from the Vatican?

I have had a go on my sax this morning. 8 didn't get on very well so I thought I would have a go my clarinet. It isn't half quiet! I then started thinking about those people in marching bands, you have the quieter musicians at the front with louder instruments blasting into their ears from right behind them. It's a wonder they aren't deaf!

Many musicians will be using ear plugs. Usually rated above 20 dB attenuation. It's actually easier to hear what's going on when it gets properly loud.

Had to try two paper shops before getting required papers
Washing hanging on whirly gig

Shopping has been done and a couple of slices of toast and a second coffee are about to be had for lunch.

A load of cycle clothing was washed while I was out and that's on the whirligig to dry. The batteries in the back garden temperature sensor have also been replaced.

All I need to do now is decide where I'm going that avoids Ipswich and the main approach roads due to football.

That'll be the gold leaf, probably 👍

My phone screen has a thin smear of ginger jam on the screen...

Rule#8 Don't eat ginger jam sandwiches for lunch and answer the phone at the same time.

Postie brought a pack of very long releasable black cable ties which, after I finally detached myself from the paintbrush, I used on the ebike battery/varia mount in pairs in place of the clear non releaseable ones I had fitted earlier in the week.

It's been a lovely warm and sunny day here chez Casa Reynard, albeit a bit blustery.

Slept well, but feeling achey and bloated. Ah, the joy... NOT... of being a member of the fairer sex. Had a choresy morning. This included doing a load of laundry, watering all the herb planters (my sage is doing particularly well), taking a bread out of the freezer and dividing up a large chunk of stilton in order to get it into the freezer.

An early luncheon of seeded sourdough, salami, creak cheese, fruit and a

Then off to Littleport with the parental so she could get her spring Covid jab. No carers on the list of eligible people this time, so I didn't get one. Just as well, as I don't want a week of feeling rough with post-jab bleurgh-ness added to lady issues. Not when I'm stewarding at the Suffolk & Norfolk next Saturday.

Had a lovely afternoon sitting out in the garden watching the action from the NW200 on the laptop.
