An annoying Friday where others you have been waiting on decide late in the afternoon to send what I have been waiting for
A 4ish end to WAH transpired to be 5 past 5.
One interruption. Door bell went and a small Yodel package found on the doorstep. Bit puzzled as the only thing I knew Yodel to be bringing is a kitchen worktop storage unit. Turned out to be a battery replacement power supply ordered off Amazon

It's been a soggy, squelchy, miserable day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well enough, but still feel really drained. Spent the morning topping up all the firewood in the house, and adding the insulation / draught excluder strips to the second of the kitchen windows. Did the outer casement, but didn't quite have enough to finish the inner, so a trip to B&M is required for another pack.

Then out of my gate to watch Sir Nigel Gresley go past. They were running nearly 15 mins late, so let's just say I got a bit drookit. Did capture vid footage though, so will post it for those who are of a railwayish persuasion. Coat is dripping out in the hallway, and jeans on the clothes horse upstairs.

She is now hiding in the dining room behind my stash of walnuts. She has had some treats though, and I'll just leave her to decompress. I suspect she'll come out and explore the house once the humans have gone to bed.

Now sat down by the fire with a and about to turn on the early evening news.

SWe have been to Barnsley! We went to the indoor market and I bought 2 caps. We later to some other place and I found an Evans store and wandered round. I didn't buy anything.

I can't help thinking that a bottle of beer is not the most effective way of baiting small rodents.

Evening cuppa tea went down well with a slice of lemon drizzle sponge.

Three, but only one works the back boiler for the upstairs radiators.

It's just so they don't mind being caged up.
