Don't panic, folks, there's a new bottle under the sink, apparently 👍

Oh yes, so there is....

gorgeous day here but getting ready for winter horrors. got like-new, pre-owned, winter tires. in the basement, for now

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

I slept OK-ish, though had to get up several times to get a drink of water. I don't feel *quite* so grotty, but coughing up the gloopy goo in my chest is NOT a pleasant experience. Steam and Olbas oil have really helped. Am really tired and lethargic though.

Mum has now developed the sniffles, so I've asked her to do a test later. If she tests positive, then no point me sitting here in isolation.

Am having a quiet day watching and listening to all the various sports on the TV and radio.

 

[Reynard]

But ... as you're isolating is there anyone to talk to?

Myself, of course

A sunny afternoon. The Patio doors are open and we dash outside everytime we hear airplane / jet engines from the airshow. It's a few miles away but we do get a few come over the house en route.

A bit windy but sunny spells and very warm.
A good day for the agricultural show I mentioned this morning as it brings in the punters and keeps midges down.
I do miss going to these events as they were great social occasions. Being profitable as well was not really as important as having a nice day out.
Nothing of any import done today apart from a quick visit to the library and some scything in my weed/wild flower patch. I think a new strimmer would be a good idea as while I could get assistance from a neighbour I do not want be too demanding and am thankful for the assistance I do get.
No idea why but I feel very tired.
I may have fixed the slug problem with them invading the house overnight. Having to get up to go to the loo I staggered through in the dark and trod on something squishy.
The slug bait I put down had not been touched but now one down anyway.

Good weather actually does happen here occasionally.

Been a busy old day but very productive

Taking advantage of the dry sunny weather do a wash of coats and other stuff that need a a good day out on the line.
After coming back from afternoon walk with Charlie felt like a ham baguette for tea so had a walk to the local Sainsbury's.
Just finished the last of weeding now having .

Heard a plane approaching so popped out on to the patio. It was a Spitfire flying over the house 😎

That beach looks absolutely gorgeous!

Mum's test went positive faster than the Sorting Hat sending Draco Malfoy to Slytherin House. Ergo I've taken myself out of self-isolation, and we're both sat here coughing and spluttering in tandem.

My friend Linda, the lady I go dog walking with, dropped a few supplies round at tea time - well, she hung them on my gate. She shops for an elderly neighbour, and was headed out to Sainsbury's and asked me if I needed anything. I now have a suitable supply of sliced bread, because I've been largely subsisting on buttered toast.

Did manage a nice bowl of home made leek, potato & bacon this evening though. I know I'm rather unwell because I'm almost completely off my food.

Take care both of you. When Mrs TKK and I caught Covid the neighbours were wonderful, it fair brought a tear to my eye. Baxters chunky vegetable soup is my " go to " sustenance when poorly ( that and a nice peaty single malt )

Thanks xxx

Linda is just the most wonderful person. Couldn't wish for a better friend.

I might just stick a splash of Armagnac into my honey & lemon chamomile tea later. It's the dusty bottle kept at the back of the cupboard and trotted out once a year to flambe the Xmas pud, but I'm thinking that a medicinal splooshette might help me some.

Six biplanes flew over the house today in formation twice . Could have been an Auster but not sure.They we’re built at Rearsby in Leicestershire

Probably a flying display somewhere locally but not seen anything advertised.
