In those black trousers with the red and yellow horizontal stripes, I thought you would be doing the Flamenco, rather than the Charleston.

I think i did well to keep the strips in a straight line

Define SCD.

A disease that infects large numbers of people every week. Infections peak on a Saturday evening, with a resurgence on Sunday.
There are other minor outbreaks during the week.
It blights households and can cause lasting damage to previously health relationships.

Not in our house we’ve never watched a single episode since series one.

It's been a warm and largely overcast day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well, and then spent the morning puttering about in the community orchard picking Cockett's Red apples. I had thought to leave it till Tuesday, but so much fruit is just simply falling off the trees as soon as you touch it, think it was a wise decision to go today instead. Picked four trays' worth. I should now have enough apples laid by to last me till Easter.

Cockett's Red (aka One Bite or Henrietta Maria) is a late-season keeping dessert apple, albeit not a sweet one, but the flavour will mellow during storage. Having said that, I ate three of them whilst picking, and yeah, they're sharp, but there's a lovely flavour under all that sharpness, and they're crisp and juicy to boot. Makes you realise just how sweet and insipid the commercial varieties can be.

I wish the community orchard had an honesty box or something similar, as I'd love to contribute something for the fruit I've picked. OTOH, what I take and use is fruit that doesn't end up rotting on the ground.

A late luncheon of toast, pate, fruit and was partaken of, and then I've spent the time watching men in tight shorts playing with funny-shaped balls, kept an eye on the footy results and listened to the F1 sprint race from Losail.

Sausage rolls and a tomato salad for supper.

Rare occurrence of wanting to use ITVx and it isn't working but only decided to say so after the flaming adverts.

Can I move, please?

 

[classic33]

Heading southbound towards Peterborough and the sun is finally showing weakly through the clouds.

Sun were coming out around 11:00 round these parts.
Pure coincidence?

Not quite what with notice period and waiting for all the clearances to come back. It's been over 3 months in the making and it makes practical sense to start on a Monday.

Which makes it stranger still. Sense, common or otherwise, seldom comes into things like this.

After an evening spent trying to put dates and circuits to a batch of mostly unlabelled Formula 3 photos* I really need a

* I've always maintained circuit racing stuff tends to be better documented than the short oval stuff, but after wading my way through this lot, I'm not so sure.

The Amazon delivery, promised for yesterday, didn't arrive. I was faintly peeved. It might turn up today, they say.

I have a First World Problem.

It’s not when the next dates for none clinical training starts. Which she has to do before she can start proper. Lucky its also in time for next round of key training. Her clinical access was sorted weeks ago.

Morning .
I can see what looks like smoke or steam rising in the distance between some houses. A fire engine has just gone up the road . It's okay now it seems to have stopped!

The road to hell is paved with good intentions ( and the people who keep knocking on the door asking me to sign up to the new fibre broadband service)
