It’s chat time of the year again. Thirty three years married yesterday. Eighty five today.
 
A grey, murky and raw day here chez Casa Reynard, with a nagging easterly breeze.

Slept really well for a change. The usual choresy morning was had, and I also took advantage of the dry conditions to do another spot of lumberjilling. More of that large ash tree was cut up into slices and thence into shiftable / splitable chunks. There is only the bottom of the stump and the rootball left, so one more go on that I think.

Had a lovely luncheon of crusty bloomer with ham, albeit half a slice was reserved for the quince and chilli jelly I made yesterday. And I have to say, it's bloody lovely. I'm definitely making that again if I can source some free quinces this coming autumn. Also had a tangerine, a pear and a :cuppa:

After, it was back outside to haul in what I cut this morning. I had three wheelbarrows full, with each load being a good half hundredweight or so. That done, I topped up the firewood in the house, and popped to Littleport to drop off the parental's prescription.

A quiet evening spent writing is planned, although I do have to cook tonight.

Once it finally dried up late afternoon I went for an hour's walk. As I was passing the village playing field just round the corner from home I had one of those 'I know the face, but from where?' moments, although the electronics in her car's hatch should have been a clue. Turns out it was one of the main reporters from the local ITV station having just completed an interview with Felixstowe's mayor about the Victoria Hall murder case after Steve Wright's guilty plea. The sports pavilion is named after Victoria and she was kidnapped just half a mile from mine - I remember the case well from the time.

Other than that, a very dull day to go with the weather
