Good morning from Suffolk where the sunshine of the past couple of days has been replaced by cloud cover and there was a little bit of mist earlier.

Coffee has been had while booking yet more train tickets for an away day in June. Later this morning I'll book myself a slot at the recycling centre to get rid of Wednesday's lawn workings and anything else around the house I can find that needs to be got rid of. I may also do the weekend's food & drink shopping while I'm out to leave Saturday free.

Second cuppa going down well with a slice of toast and hazelnut spread.

A few days ago I commented that a box of cereals I had opened tasted better than the actual cereal within the box . Well since then I have been trying to think what the cereal actually looked like and it's just popped into my mind they look like valve collets

Murky and predictions of sun this afternoon have given way to ones of rain showers.
Co-Op trek before first coffee. Soup was priced lower on the shelf but still higher than the app was saying. App price quoted at the till and along with chicken breasts £1 worth of app vouchers also used.
Reduced section remained noticeably without anything wheat free.
The Nectar app had discounted iced buns so after a coffee the car ventured to Sainsbury's. That was almost a dead loss as no iced buns nor steak pie.
Thence to Tesco where there was a huge queue for petrol/diesel and a far larger than rucksack friendly shop undertaken including coffee pods (4th one free).

Garden rubbish and a few other bits got rid of - including a bike box that's been in my spare room for well over a year. Shopping done and more black sacks purchased, one of which is about to be filled with more garden rubbish as I'm going to cut the fuchsias back. Coffee first though.

A chilly lunchtime stroll has been completed.

A weak sun put an appearance in.

Bike "cockpits" tweaked with all existing Garmin or Wahoo mounts removed and multi-purpose Garmin/Wahoo mounts (off Temu) fitted to the stems. Existing in the case of the rarely used hybrid being none so that has precluded a panic next time it is used.

Turning into a sunny afternoon still a bit overcast but not overly cold.

A cool and mostly grey day here chez Casa Reynard after a cold and foggy start. Did see a little bit of sun. Eventually.

Best night's sleep in a fortnight, although it still only amounted to six hours. So a was made and taken back upstairs and the time was spent writing and doing admin. I have finally managed to get the registrar to disgorge an appointment to finish the paperwork - I was given a choice of three, so I picked one and am now waiting to hear back again.

At a more sensible hour, I got up, switched jim jams for day wear and did the chores. Also loaded four more black bags of unneeded clothes into the car along with some more paperbacks, and took them to the clothes bank and book exchange in the village.

Had a lovely luncheon of toast with hummus, some grapes, some crisps and a

While I let my food tamp down, I sorted out another bag of clothes. I swear mum's wardrobe leads to another dimension! That done, it was off into the garden to carry on with some lumberjilling. Brought in two wheelbarrows of ready-to-use firewood (a mix of ash and oak), and cut up one wheelbarrow's worth of green wood and stacked that to dry. Last task was to top up the wood bins in the house.

A quiet evening with some tv (athletics & deadliest catch) is planned. Supper only needs to go into the poppity ping.
