Between my place and a friend's is the Brockley Coffee Corridor. Each time we meet up for coffee we go to a different café. In today's, every table except ours had a pair of matched salt and pepper pot animals - 2 bulldogs, 2 cocks, 2 hens, that sort of thing . We had a panda stalking a blue tit!

Saw where people were reporting National Savings winnings. Ah! Thats another app missing on the mobile. Reinstalled and £100.
Lunchtime and chased up a couple of non deliveries orders. Email came back saying the heater was delivered yesterday Picture of it being put in my "safe place". So it was. Why do RM only notify of some Tracked parcels?
The other had an out of stock item in it which was promply deleted from the order meaning I am now 65p in credit with that supplier.

From Hertfordshire where a very good afternoon had been had. Nice and easy train journeys, a walk into town in the warm sunshine, lunch & drinks before booking in to the hotel and a coffee followed by a refreshing 15 minute deep snooze.

I suppose I'd better put some trousers on and make my way to the venue within the next 20 minutes.

Lucky and confusing evening shopping.
But before all that dreadful driving by a Bradford bus driver straggling two lanes and managed to turn left when nearly wholly in the right followed by indicating right when going straight on at a roundabout of not very large size.
Lucky in that Simply Food had just one box of Freefrom Crumble mix
Confusing in that Sainsbury's handset randomly decided to show Nectar reduced prices, full price with a % off Nectar label alongside it, or absolutely no mention of any reduction when there was one. Okay at the till.

It's been a warm, blustery and occasionally sunny day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept pretty well. Swapped the jim jams for a baggy t-shirt, and was much more comfy. Downstairs, fed the cat, made myself a and took it upstairs to do some writing. Have finished unpicking the bits that didn't work, saved them to a separate file just in case I still might want to use them, and have started re-writing the unpicked chapter.

Chores done at a better hour. Sorted out my stewarding kit for tomorrow. The unneeded bedding was bagged up. The blankets went to the utility room and the duvet went to the garage. When I have more time, I will see if it is salvageable. Vacuumed the mattress on the bed in the spare room, flipped it and vacuumed the other side. Put the protector on. Hooray, it fits!

Had a lovely luncheon of a wholgrain seeded sourdough roll filled with cheese & coleslaw, plus a banana and a small pot of tea.

Back to sorting the spare room. That ended up being a game of hunt-the-double-bed-fitted-sheet. Half the bedding cupboard all over the floor. Success eventually. Similar game was played with the duvet covers - most were too small. Rather than turn out the whole cupboard, I settled for one that was only a little bit too big. I think that a lot of this stuff will go to the charity shop eventually.

Made up the bed. That was fun with some "help" from Madam Boo. Who promptly picked a spot on the freshly-made bed and had a nice long nap.

Ironed my white coat, re-jigged my apple store and had a nice girly pamper session.

Supper was pasta al' amatriciana.

Now having a quiet evening. Just need to wash up in a bit.

And time I trundled off upstairs to bed via a nice hot bath, as I have to be up at cat show o'clock tomorrow.

Nunnight one and all xxx
