Just one?
The Chrysler Ypsilon I picked up cheaply has lots of 'sounds'; rattling and loose exhaust (new clamps and re-pasting up needed), clunks (suspension bushes and/or engine mounts) plus an unpleasant oil smell (gearbox probably).
Otherwise it's perfectly fine
yeah, it's a new sound. subtle, but it's there. the mechanic didn't hear it
but advised me to get a new car

Evening.
We went to our museum tongue Crafty Cafe. I had intended to do some tracing for a picture that I am doing for a display. My wife was in a bit of a rush and when I set down to do some drawing I discovered that I had left my sketch pad which had my drawings in at home. Bu99er!
I tried using Google to find some pictures which I could use and it was bl**dy useless! I will just have to do the work tomorrow.
Some good news. The Yardbirds cd that I ordered arrived this afternoon. I played it in the car. I can remember some of the songs from the 60's.

Evening Toolstation / Tesco trek for wood glue and bananas respectively. A bit of wood fell off one of the outdoor chairs when I teak oiling them on Saturday and it took until 1550 yesterday to work out where it had come from. Only then to fail to discover any wood glue.
Rains on the way... Should be with you soon 👍

Managed to get out for a very enjoyable hour's bike ride this afternoon and only caught the last dregs of the school run. Absolutely sweet FA has been done this evening although I am going to have to get up soon to make the evening's hot chocolate.
Edit to add - we have had the first proper rain for a while this evening

It's been a warm day here chez Casa Reynard, sunny early doors, but then looking like it was going to rain but never did.
Slept well enough, but still short. It seems to slowly be getting better though. Came downstairs, fed the car and then took a
back upstairs and had a very productive writing session. To the point that this chapter is now nearly complete. It's just getting the last bit of it to behave.
Scudded quickly through the chores, then sat down to watch the final session of the Higgins - O'Sullivan match over luncheon. Which consisted of a roast beef & mustard sandwich, an orange, a raspberry yoghurt and a pot of tea.
Not the result I was hoping for, but the snooker was right out of the top drawer. Also caught the last bit of Selby vs Wu.
Then did a load of handwash laundry - time consuming as the items in question aren't colourfast.
Had a lovely supper of mushroom, broccoli & stilton risotto.
Now watching Trump vs Vafaei.

Trump vs Vafaei has gone to a deciding frame. That's been another belter of a match.

That was with the main course; beef bourgoignon, new potatoes, petit pois, carrots and Yorkshire pudding.
Then came the dessert tastings.
