Found in the Yorkshire hills ...
The wooden bench I ordered arrived earlier, but in about 1000 pieces in a box, leaving me a 3D jigsaw puzzle to do.

Having failed my health check badly last Friday due to high blood pressure I've two weeks to resolve some of the causal factors before the next check, then monitoring after that if I fail again. Health/fitness/diet is fine so I've pinned it down to a collection of issues building up causing residual stress.

Cue me getting hold of the joiner and having a kitchen fit date plus budget. Thanks @postman but I shouldn't need yours. I'm nicely relieved that's organised.

Also, son no. 1's house purchase has had a hard shove, with the blockage (seller's solicitor) being identified. I want that through before the end of next week as bank of Mum & Dad are the majority financier.

Parental visit tomorrow evening, plus I'm visiting son no. 1 earlier, to help him and check on house repairs following a January flood. Insurance repairers should be getting on with it after a rocket. I'll see tomorrow.

Two other major stress-causal issues will hopefully be resolved soon (hello son no. 2 if you're lurking :hello: ).

Also, a work-related cause looks to be getting themselves fired so that solves that one.

Oh, and I gave my marking a major effort so that's all done very early. Just don't tell my boss :whistle::okay:

Jigsaw-pieces bench is built and I only bashed the newly re-built finger once :B) . It actually looks like the photo in the advert:

I have just turned two tired-looking oranges (one sweet, one Seville), a zested lemon and a slightly sub-par chunk of root ginger into an impending small batch of marmalade. Fruit is now set to soak overnight prior to cooking.

This is how we roll chez Casa Reynard.

I don't like wasting food, and this turns a potential problem into something tasty and useful.
