Mundane News

Rumour has it that Ribble are opening a shop on Rushden lakes

Lovely if slightly naughty supper of a roll filled with the last beanburger, and some triple-cooked chips on the side.

And a of course.

Whatever floats yer boat.

I got a free bottle of Proper Job yesterday via Facebook by giving the promoter my email address. Once I’ve drunk the beer, I guess I won’t care about the spam

I suppose I should better wash up.

Some non-mundane news - I have been given a bonus 1000 points on the Lidl app points thingie which can be exchanged for either £10 off my shop or quite a few cake/ice cream treats.

I assume it's from a free draw which I must have entered, but can't remember doing.

I still haven't washed up. Got sidetracked

With the non-mundane stuff out of the way, the rest of today has just another standard enjoying the good weather type of day. Washing hung out, 2 hour bike ride, shower, washing brought in & put away and finally deck chair, magazine, cold drink and music through headphones in the back garden for a couple of hours.

Nothing done this evening apart from sorting out the bits I need for Brands Hatch on Saturday and the regular hot chocolate. I don't need to leave until around 09:30 so I may allow myself a small beer before bedtime.

Did the chores at a better hour. Tray scooped, planters watered, had to stake up my "Sweet Million" tomatoes as the weight of the fruit was making the plant very droopy. Also sorted out the car insurance, which has concluded a rather spendy couple of weeks.

I've got that to do after next weekend. Still haven't had a better quote for equivalent cover than the renewal one from Aviva (a couple of ££ cheaper than last year) so I'll be staying with them.

I have now washed up.

Good to hear.

It's been a bright, sunny and rather warm day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept much better, and feel better too. Downstairs, fed the cat, made a and took it back upstairs to do some writing. Back on the novel again today. Did some work on that, and then read some articles I'd bookmarked.

The postie brought me a Zooplus voucher for 15% off Royal Canin cat food.

Had a lovely luncheon of a chunk of baguette with kipper pate, a Lady Hollendale apple, some cherries and a small pot of tea.

After, it was up on the garage loft to start bringing down all those workshop manuals. It was too hot and stuffy up there to do the lot - I managed to bring about a third of them down - about sixty or so. They're now in two big stacks in my sitting room waiting for me to catalogue them.

I needed some fresh air after that, so went off on a bicycular bimble in the company of Rocky the Hardtail - chosen on the basis that he was nearest the door. Did a nice six mile loop up to Red Caps Drove and back. The hedgerows out there have been cut back quite drastically, so the blackberry crop up there isn't as good as it usually is. Stopped off at the book exchange on the way home and picked up a couple of things that looked interesting. No luggage on Rocky, so had to stuff the books up my cycling jersey. Fortunately, they were paperbacks LOL

Now watching the football. And as the halftime whistle has just blown, it's time to get something to eat.

Been a bad year for raspberries here as well.
