Didn't do any more gardening after the rest this afternoon as all that's left to do is to cut back the fuchsias, but they've not properly started budding out yet, so that can wait. Instead I went out on the bike for a 10 mile loop into Felixstowe to top up the reserves of orange & mango squash from Tesco. Having been mostly shaded from the wind, I didn't realise how cold it was nearer the coast despite the sun.

Nothing else done since then and it's almost time for the evening's hot chocolate. Shouldn't run low again for a while having had a delivery today...

As it's starting to lighter and warmer my collection of carnivorous plants. Are starting move out of winter dormant stage so I've just up the watering so they can stay sat in water. It also means the ones I want to buy to add them should start to be available once fresh stock feeds though.

getting warmer? I went out for a pedal and it was a lot colder than expected - my hands nearly went solid

Yep, it's still a bit nippy but at least the sun is shining!

The collection box at my wife's funeral raised £400.51.
Not bad, quite pleased and that will go to the Sue Ryder charity after her stay there last summer. Wonderful people, wonderful facilities and all run by charity.

Afternoon.
I have had a busy day. First of all I swapped my bikes around, I had to move several to get to the one I wanted. I then had to find a pair of wheels for my Synapse. Once I found some wheels I cycled round to my friend's garage to try to sort out my mig welder and grinder. I removed the wire speed controller unit from the welder to take to my brother's for him to check it. That would be for this afternoon's ride.
This afternoon I ordered some new brushes for my grinder and then cycled over to my brother's.
A total of 13 miles cycled today.

I've rubbed a bit of Deep Heat into my right shoulderblade.. It's exactly the wrong place to try & reach when your shoulder is achy!

Sunny afternoon pefect for the work visits I have been putting off due to the awful weather we have had.
Stopped at a set of traffic lights in Ripon and a slight thud on the rear right as the car behind failed to react properly, swerved and didn't fully avoid. Bumper and fog light damaged/broken. They said they would pay.

In a moment of silliness I imagined you could spread some on a wooden cooking spoon and use that to reach, quick rinse and back in the drawer...who would know ?

Better still, MrsPete said she had a ball one. I said thanks but it's for my shoulder, actually..
She'll be applying it now I've had a soak in a hot bath... 👍

It's been a grey, murky and chilly day here chez Casa Reynard, after a very foggy start.

Slept well enough. Met up with a friend and her dogs for a nice walk around the village playing fields. Hat and coat definitely needed. It was nice to catch up and set the world to rights. The rest of the morning was spent doing the usual chores, along with the additional task of taking the vacuum cleaner for a walk around the house.

Didn't bother with the hall, as I'm still tracking so much mud and bits of firewood through, but I shall take a broom to things instead. Also, I wanted to spare Madam Boo the trauma, as she really *hates* the vacuum cleaner.

Had a lovely luncheon of seeded toast with smoked mackerel, plus an apple, a tangerine and a

Cut a bit of firewood this afternoon. Didn't go lumberjilling, just turned some pre-cut lengths into a case of logs. After, I had a bit of fun, and made some granola bars. They're currently cooling, and I shall cut them up shortly.

A quiet evening spent writing and listening to the football on the radio is planned.

better than the opposite, eh?
