[Reynard]

It's been a warm and occasionally sunny day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well. Had a choresy morning. Did a load of laundry, made a batch of apple sauce, took some bits out of the freezer, watered all the planters, that sort of stuff.

Lovely luncheon of a chunk of wholegrain baguette, montagnolo cheese, an apple and a

After, did a bit of tinkering in the garage. Then dropped off some gnocchi and crumble for a friend, and went to the community orchard on the way home. Annoyingly, most of the good blackberries had gone over since I was in there last week, so it was hard work to pick just one small 300g tub. I did though, pick another basket of Thoday's Quarrendon apples, as there's loads and no one really seems to be picking them. A real shame to see so many on the ground, as they are SUCH a nice dessert apple. And they keep well, too.

Plan on a quiet evening watching the football and then the Sewing Bee on catch up.

Cat has been fed, and soon it will be time to feed me.

At work we were given a box of sweets. A supervisor from other department took it away claiming "all you do nothing, it's for us hardworking ones". She thinks her people are harworking despite multiple complaints from customers. Well, ok. Biggest chance she will take the sweets for herself anyway.
So she put the box in her drawer (we are unfortunate to share the office with her). And didn't lock it.
Next day I came to work and had my sweet (literally) revenge.
I took the box from the drawer. It was still wrapped in that protective film. I cut the film, emptied almost all sweets (left 7 out of 32) and then carefully put the film back and sealed it with a clear sellotape. And put the box back in the drawer. Unless you know what's been done the box look untouched.
Now I'm waiting for a feedback in the form of an earthquake.

Who do you know who uses hairspray?

I don't have much need for it personally.

Just a spray of Mr. Sheen to touch up the bald patch.

That were naughty, you know that!

You share the sweets out?

A bit of dreich day. Another highly mundane day at work. I've been walking around the house in my new hiking boots to break them in a bit before using them in anger. I think they're are going to be comfortable.

My after work bike has been cancelled owing to inclement weather.

You could have replaced them with laxative chocolate...

Edited appropriately:

You should have replaced them with laxative chocolate...

No-one in any form of supervisory capacity should treat people like that.

You share the sweets out?

I did. My colleague and I aren't big fans of sweets so we ate some ourselves and the rest are kept in our locker (locked!) for other colleagues.

You could have replaced them with laxative chocolate...

Too much planing ... and all I wanted was just to get her angry. Laxatives also would guarantee investigation.

Suppose there's a locker check.

Not that much more. It's in powdered form these days, so it'd be like chocolate that has a bit of heat bloom.

The boyracers are making noise again.

Fabby supper of gnocchi alla sorrentina, followed by apple & ginger crumble with custard

My thoughts exactly.

Or chocolate-covered chillies. Or those joke sweets that turn your mouth bright blue.

Hang on ... didn't you have that yesterday? Or am I getting old?

.... trots off to check ...

You did. Must've been nice. And you aren't sharing!

I knew there was a reason why I don't miss work
