Hi honey I'm home

Nice and straightforward trip home, dry, but that wind certainly had a cold edge to it whilst waiting on Peterborough and Ipswich station platforms. To keep warm I used the free hot drink code that I was saving for Saturday and also treated myself to a warm sausage roll.

A couple of slices of toast in a little while should see me through the rest of the day once I've had a coffee.

Brrr. Refuse bin put out and quickly back inside. Sun rain and wind today. Tried and failed to book a BT for next week so looks like an additional hospital visit. 2 minutes 15 listening to meningitis and online doctor booking messages before reaching the main menu. Should add those to it.

A chipper is better for that, it can be very embarassing when next door's dog takes a limb he has found in to his owners.

It's definitely been a four-seasons-in-one-day kind of day here chez Casa Reynard.

Sleep was middling, but did manage six hours across two goes. And a and some writing was done first thing. Then it was off to the village to meet up with my friend Linda for a dog walk around the community orchard and nature reserve. Wind was icy and brisk, and we got a mixture of sunshine and some pretty hefty hail showers.

Couldn't get into the village hall car park in order to offload another three bags into the clothes bank on account of there being a wake for a funeral in the hall. Likewise, couldn't stop off at the book bank either. So just straight back home to do the chores.

A lovely luncheon of a wholegrain roll with ham & mustard, the last of the grapes, a piece of granola bar, some twiglets and a

Watched the installation of the new Archbishop of Canterbury whilst trying (and failing) to get the Tesco app to let me top up my phone. No problem, I was going to go to Tesco to get some groceries anyway, and could ask the bods in the in-store phone shop. But that was scuppered due to the level crossing barriers being down and staying down.
