[Reynard]

A bright, mild and very blustery day here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept really well - a solid nine and a half hours. Still feel tired, and this morning, my head has turned into a snot factory once again. Am coughing, spluttering and honking my nose for England.

Anyway, I have spent the morning doing some serious reading. My motorsport / motoring historian friend has asked me to help him with an upcoming project because it's too big for him to tackle on his own, and because I can bring a very useful set of skills to the table. However, it's in an area that is well outside my area of interest or indeed knowledge, so I am having to bone up big time. It's as much as I can say right now, but I think it'll prove to be very interesting. I'm just flattered that he trusts me this much.

This afternoon, I shall go back to the writing (I have a poem on the go) and I shall make a big pot of leek and potato soup.

First though, it is time for luncheon.

Bit of a wet walk with the dog this morning, she didn't get much fuss either since nobody likes to pet a wet dog. Come to that, she wasn't that interested in stopping.

Looking at the neighbours garden & the sheep field over the back, there are puddles forming, so I might need to get the submersible pump out. We've had 0.86" of rain since midnight.

Now up to 1", but thankfully no flooding.

Today's 19 plate truck has 642853 kilometres on the odometer.
I'm in Sittingbourne. Again.

Some blue skies and rainbows between horrendous showers. Quite breezy too and the leaves are really starting to come off the trees.

I had a walk around town and did some errands. I also replaced a brake light bulb in the car. I think I will now just relax for the evening.

Lovely luncheon of two slices of wholemeal toast, one with pate, the other with Saint Agur cheese, plus an apple, a pear and the obligatory two

A big pot of leek & potato soup made. Threw in a handful of fresh sage as well - the plant I bought earlier in the year has grown into a nice little bush.

No writing done, but watered the herb planters that are under the garage porch.

It's gone godawfully dark here.

Yep, it's now hosing down with rain.

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.

Friday is pie, chips and beer night.

A big bowl of leek & potato soup for supper, plus the last of the curry on some toast, and the last slice of apple pie.

I was on my way up the M11 when @Reynard s rain was hissing it down. Fortunately, the two cars that didn't like the lanes they were in so bounced off the armco and wrecked each other left enough room to get past before plod turned up & shut the road!

Sounds like a fairly typical incident for the M11 tbh

My nose is still dribbling better than the players on the pitch in the England v Australia match.

Don't think it's covid, but done a test just now for peace of mind.
