Mundane News

[Reynard]

It's been a grey, blustery and occasionally sunny day here chez Casa Reynard.

Sleep was a bit meh as I had to have an early start to get the Lexter to the vet. And all the stressy stuff that entails, especially given she's no youngster. Her bloods were OK for a cat of her age, and I'm glad those lumps have been removed. I'll find out next week what they were. She's safely home - first thing she demanded was food - and now she's chilling in her her old (TICA) show pen.

I should explain that when you show TICA as opposed to GCCF, you pay extra for benching on top of your entry fees, and so if you show regularly, it's far cheaper to take your own pop-up cat pen. I haven't shown TICA for about 10 years as Lexi decided she hated it, but hung onto the pen I bought rather than sell it. These things are always useful.

I'm just really knackered now, so a quiet rest-of-the-day will be had.

Well today was a mega busy first day back at work after a week off.
Only had two cuppas and a hot chocolate so far .
Been a nice day weather wise and nothing like the forecasted weather on my phone.

Time to relax

Cat has been medicated and fed. Soon it will be time to feed me.

I am not feeling very well. Concentrating on anything is difficult, and I feel very tired.

Evening cuppa went down well with a real digestive biscuit

Supper was the last of the chicken, bacon & sweetcorn pasta, and a tomato & basil salad.

Washer primed to go on this morning only for the weather forecast to mention showers
Haven't been any.
Bird seed feeder refilled at lunchtime and now needs topping up again.
Evening Aldi trek, the footway beyond the access to Aldi/B&Q is closed so it looks like serious progress is happening on the Tesco that is being built.
Two bags of salad leaves dated Friday/Saturday, one bottle of squash and a chocolate bar this time I did not leave on the basket.

My freezer has been topped up with a dozen breakfast sausages, a dozen Jones' coarse cut sausages, two dozen smoked back bacon rashers and four beefburgers and I have no change from £50! All I can say is that having had all of these before, it's well worth the outlay for the taste and the sausages are huge at around 100g each.

Had to stop and patch a puncture on the way home, but as the thorn was still in the tyre it was a quick find & fix.

There has also just been a very short sharp rain shower that appeared out of nowhere.

Sounds well tasty! Mind you, I too, prefer quality over quantity when it comes to meat, and am happy to spend more where it's warranted.

I took an organic sirloin steak out of the freezer earlier. Looking forward to that.

Think I need to go to specsavers, after reading Reynard's post about her cat, completely mis-read yours as my mind saw "Cats have been oiled"
I have a fresh cuppa now that should help balance things back out.

I misread it as cats too!

"...Medication is what you need, If you want to be the best, if you want to beat the rest, medication's what you need..."

A thoroughly mundane day. Weather was grey, but warm and stayed dry. Work was the usual nonsense.

I went and did some grocery shopping after work. I paid the extra for brand name beans! Supermarket had two versions of their own brand, one very cheap that seemed to be a tin of sauce with half a dozen beans lurking at the bottom and a more expensive version which had always been very nice, until recently when the label changed and they seem to have re-formulated something as the last few tins were So I gave in and bought Bachelors but price is more than double.

Otherwise, just done some writing and work on my blog and sorted out photos and uploaded them to Flickr did not upload them in chronological order for whatever reason so it needs more sorting

This evening's hot chocolate has just been made.
