Very wet night. Early ferry. Currently limping into Dover.
Going to be late, absent for a birthday lunch. Dog house looms.
Might stay with Vanessa til things blow over.

Probably no cycling today either.

Time for mother and son time

Domestic duties and a deep clean of the bath. The sealant to the wall tiles invariably gains a layer of mould and finally found a cleaner that works without spending hours of scrubbing, HG Mould Remover Foam Spray. Did need a trip to Aldi for a new pair of rubber gloves and quite a rummage to find a pack sized L.

A group were orienteering around local lake and parklands. Most were running hard, but one was taking it easier 😃 Beautiful day.

Having been to Aldi a Co-op trek for Aldi price chicken breasts and eggs, albeit with use of a 25p app voucher. En route dropped three books off at a charity shop. Told them I had a 2ft pile of them, did they want them in bulk or in drips, asked for the latter.

Windy and sunny

For the second time didn't get full value discount on my chosen purchase using my co op members card so another strong e mail

Afternoon Toolstation trek. Noted at lunchtime the shelf I had put the display cabinet on yesterday was showing signs of parting company with the plasterboard wall.
Transpired the screws were in plastic plugs and a clear need for something stronger was needed.

Didn't do too much today. It looked nice for a few minutes here and there between showers and I still feel lethargic and aches pains from yesterday. COVID vaccine always does this to me.

My neighbour was asking me if my car was broken and if I needed a lift somewhere as he always sees me walking into town! Surely choosing a ten minute walk over sitting in a traffic jam can't be that unusual...

Pre evening meal cuppa went down well, tempted to have another one soon.
Had a fair bit of rain this afternoon

It's been a really mild but very blustery day here chez Casa Reynard, lovely and sunny till about 3pm, and then it clouded over.

Slept well. Had a choresy morning. All yesterday's shopping was put away, and after, I spent the rest of the time till luncheon hauling firewood. One of the gales brought down a dead ash tree - down all the way as opposed to dingle dangling, so makes my life easier. The top shattered when it hit the ground, so I have a lot of lengths of wood that's already in manageable lengths and just right to bring in to cut up. So I got my quota of exercise. And very pleasant it was outside too.

Lovely luncheon of a roll filled with cheese and coleslaw, an apple, some grapes and a

A lazy afternoon listening to Burnley v Arsenal. But after, I prepared the fruit for a batch of spiced apple & quince jelly, and that is now currently cooking away on the hob. It's starting to perfume the house. Will be a lovely jelly to have with festive cold cuts or to glaze a gammon joint.

Now sat by the fire watching some FA Cup footy (Brackley v Notts Forest) with a and a sneaky Min Spy.
