Got a couple of pairs of my winter longs out of my out of season clothing box. It’s one thing riding in my shorts in these temps in the sun 🌞. But with forecast rain 🌧️ I’ll be wanting my winter longs to keep comfortable.

Visit to garden centre. Cassie enjoyed getting lots of fuss. Two techniques she uses are to say hello to a dog & then suddenly divert to the owner. The other is to sit down in front of some poor stranger & look appealingly at them.
Now, exhausted by her efforts, she is sleeping on the sofa.

I'll take that as a complement.
He is, in fact as mischievous as I am, but I can speak German well enough to see if he's playing silly bürgers; in fact we worked together on some of the more technical sentences. I just make more grammatical errors than he would and it would take me longer.

Had a lovely luncheon of a polish sausage & cheese sandwich, a pear, half a ripe mango and two 
Loaded the car up with a bunch of stuff for the tip, jigged the garage around a bit so I've enough space to bring a loaded trailer inside without having to unhitch it from the mower (I plan to have a firewood-bringing-in-day tomorrow), did a bit more work on my race reports database, and then off I trotted.
Trip to the tip to dispose of, amongst other things, a mouse-eaten camping mattress, a crate of mouse-eaten bubble wrap, an old kettle with no spout, some split plastic planters and some knackered cardboard boxes. Had a gander at their bikes while I was there - their prices are still stratospheric, and some bikes have been there for a couple of years. They've got around a hundred bikes just sitting there gathering dust because their minimum price is now somewhere between £50 and £80. Prior to covid their bikes used to be largely in the £10-£30 range. Not surprised nobody's biting...
There was, however, a Light Blue Cycles town bike which *is* worth the asking price, as I know that they're not cheap bikes, having gone past the shop on many occasions whilst in Cambridge. I was looking at a Scott Scale junior MTB - it needed a bit of work as well as a full service. At £40 I'd have bought it there and then, but at £80, there are better buys to be had I think. And that old Raleigh junior roadie with the bent front forks is still there...
Dropped off mum's prescription and the paperwork at the quack on the way home, and am now sat enjoying a nice sat by the fire. Madam Lexi is now telling me that it is time for food.
So I shall feed the cat. And then I shall feed me.

I have a vintage duck down duvet. It's not massively heavyweight, so as the temps get progressively colder, various fleece throws get chucked on top.
When it's really cold, I'll put a fleece throw under the duvet as well.

PC wouldn’t boot and bios complained time not set. Went into bios and reset time and oddly boot was to RAID. Reset the latter to what it should be and normal boot restored. Just after a windows update and suspect it buggered up UEFI…

Nice big bowl of chilli con carne, rice, cheese, sliced avocado and soured cream for supper.
Good comfort food for an autumn evening.
