Quite a large group of us turned up for today's ride. 11 peeps. I thought that a few wouldn't turn up due to the weather. It was still freezing as we set off but the sun was up and warming things up. We found one area of sheet ice where we had to dismount and walk carefully over it. Once past that it was fine. I haven't worked out the mileage yet but I think it might be about 16 miles.
Back home after an interesting day having my first dose of chemotherapy.
Plus side was getting a lift from husband of a very close friend of Mrs 73. Who is heavily involved in Yorkshire cricket so spent most of the journey both ways. Talking about all things Yorkshire cricket and a few things I've been helping with.

An occasionally bright, somewhat blustery and bloody cold day here chez Casa Reynard.
Slept well. Jimjams are cosy. I'm still chesty and somewhat run down, so I've had a quiet day, simply doing all the necessaries, but no more. Morning tasks involved household chores like scooping the litter trays and emptying the ash from the grate.
Lovely luncheon of wholemeal toast, stilton, double gloucester with onion & chive (really lovely, would recommend), plus an apple, a pear and the obligatory
This afternoon's tasks involved topping up the firewood bins in the house, sweeping up the sawdust from under the saw horse, and insulating / covering the garden tap.
The rest of the afternoon has been spent sitting by the fire and watching TV / writing.
Madam Rhubarb has discovered the igloo bed next to the radiator in the dining room. She's becoming much more confident and spending time with us, and we're beginning to see the fabby cat she will become. Her coat is now much softer (she LOVES being brushed), and she has put on weight - her vertebrae are now no longer prominent. So yeah, more little wins.

Obviously not the brightest today. Fitting dummy batteries into bigger holders during a tea making break in WAH I realised I only had 8 and foolishly thought I needed 9.
It was only after I had made an extra post WAH that I realised 9v is 6 1.5 v batteries.

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.

Rose early after windy night( outside)! Early ferry, back in England before most people were aware.
Cleaned up, emptied van, washing machine fired up.
Vanessa back at hers and shopping shopped.
Culinary catastrophe for the evening meal.
Must get a grip and make a shopping list to avoid gaps and duplication.
No bacon and now 3 jars of gherkins!

Evening cuppa went down well with a real digestive
Wasted 5 minutes telling mum that she should have shouted for a lift to and back to the hairdressers instead of walking up herself

If you've a minute to spare, you could pop over and do mine!

Lovely supper of soup, then veggie chilli, rice, cheese, soured cream, and a side of steamed & buttered savoy cabbage. Apologies if tomorrow might be a bit, euhm, windy...
