Snooze has been snoozed 💤 👌

I assure you, the wind there was very very raw. This morning, though, was still and clear, and the hills behind Calais were visible.

I'm now on the road back to London. Eurostar has just disgorged a tourist load of cars on to the M20. Why do the Belgians drive like that?

Oh God, the Belgians! It's the genes.
They are the self-gratification artists of Europe.
I'm part Belgian, found that out later. I lived and worked there most of my career. Understand them? Never!
Driving? There are people in their 70s who didn't have to pass a driving test
Just one part of their weirdness.

There is a lot of stuff that is about relation, favour and influence trading. Hard to explain if you haven't experienced it

Multiple cups of tea have been consumed so no doubt I will be toilet visiting during the night 😔

I have been gifted three ripe bananas so I can make a banana loaf pretty sure that's my daughters way of telling me to make her one

A grey and blustery day here chez Casa Reynard, but the cloud cover is now lifting. We had some drizzle earlier that wasn't forecast.

Slept well. I've had a quiet day so far. The main task was weighing Madam so that the vet can prescribe her some painkillers / anti inflammatories without me having to take her in, and so that we know what dose to give her. I am glad I switched vets, as Isle are the best in the area. The vets I used to go to have gone downhill after the vet and practice manager (husband & wife) retired a couple of years ago, and it's been like a revolving door in there since.

I have also put the sage I dried into a jar, and it is now in the kitchen cupboard devoted to herbs and spices.

Lovely luncheon of a chunk of Walkers pork pie, a slice of toast with some cheese and a

Now watching thirty ladies playing with a funny-shaped ball, and following the golf and football via text commentary.

Tell me about it! The parental is Belgian. Ergo I am half so.

I'm not Belgian. There..... I've admitted it! 😋

Bonnie's been walked. She has a talent for walking & pooing simultaneously, hence me following along behind with a poo-bag on my hand scooping up the bits..

To all those that have been using the B... word in recent posts - would you please stop swearing in public. This is a nice, respectable family forum.

Thank you

A lovely sunny and warm day with a bit of a stiff breeze picking up mid afternoon here in Suffolk. Really enjoyed the 44 miles of shopping and just riding around on the bike earlier on.

Tea will be started shortly - sausages, new potatoes & peas - and at some point later on I'll have to make the rolls for tomorrow's day out. And remember to purchase the entrance ticket as well.

Well done ladies 🏉🥇

A quick swap around in the garage moving the wet weather bike to the front of the pile as looked at weather forecast for numptonshire and it looks like a damp start to the day so will see

The cat has been fed (Gourmet Gold pate with liver, and a little bit of the Humans' fish), and soon it will be time to feed me.
