Round these 'ere parts forecast 27 over the weekend, then 30 on Monday just in time to head back into the office with no a/c

Back here for the first time in six months. Let's see if I remember which way round to go.

Met office reckons for Harrogate a max of 23 on Saturday, 24 Sunday and 31 Monday.

Better clear up for the GYS .
I've packed my wellies and waterproofs.

A warm and breezy lunchtime stroll completed

I hope you weren't held up too badly by the roadworks on the Orwell Bridge on your way to hell Felixstowe Dock. Just a warning if you or anyone else sent this way again over the next 6-8 weeks, the bridge will be reduced to one lane each way in a contraflow while they replace expansion joints on the westbound carriageway. Expect long delays.

And no, I don't miss the place at all.

About 1½ hours to get from Hadleigh - - > Copdock junction to the bridge..
I can understand why you don't miss it 😂

My butt got half filled in last night's rainfall 👍

WAH abandoned at 4 with a very big yawn. Crazy wind gusts outside and tomorrow looks the same with more +30mph ones.

A warm, blustery and mostly sunny day here chez Casa Reynard after some overnight rain.

Slept well enough, but still not feeling 100%. Had a morning of gentle chores. That included doing a load of laundry, making another prototype Cone of Shame, picking alpine strawberries (I've SO many this year), and making a batch of muesli for the parental.

Tea and toast for luncheon.

Spent a chunk of the afternoon writing. I also washed the Cone of Shame that Lexi got from her Auntie Linda, as Madam barfed all over it last night. Dried the cone in the garden and then I've just finished mending it where it's been looking worse-for-wear. Between the new prototype (which Madam is currently wearing) and this repair, I've figured out what was wrong with the first iteration. (It was also too big and over-engineered). I'll be able to make a spare for me, and one for Linda, to replace the one she gave me.

I've been using upholstery vinyl, which is quick to dry and easy to wipe clean.

Will go out and water everything in a bit. Will also feed the tomatoes and the herb planters.

Oh, and in gardening news...

The mouldy Seville orange that I plonked in a pot of compost earlier this year has sprouted! I have four orange seedlings!

I hate throwing food away, but this way, I can have a bit of fun. Need to work out how to care for them now.

West of Ireland is wet. Has been wet and looks like it will continue for some time.

As predicted the distribution of wet has been maintained.

Short walkies this evening; it's still quite warm ☀️ 🐶

Cardiff it is then! Somewhere between the castle and the Tiny Rebel taproom.

Enjoyed a day out in town today with MrsFoE and her brother. Started with the Scottish Colourists exhibition at the Dovecote, fabulous, then an interesting Cold War exhibition at the Museum, and then finished up in an unexpectedly entertaining favourite reads exhibition at the National Library.
