Second cuppa went down well

A degree or two warmer this morning noticeable once the dog walk got going and i'd warmed up.
Now sat having looking at head torches think mine is on the way out.

I've had good service from my Petzl Tikkina.

I detest those steel bikes with that massive air brake for a rear brake bridge! The accountants must have had a go at designing bikes. With all the advances in ways to streamline and make things more aerodynamic someone goes and sticks a massive bit of angle iron on ! It's an immediate turn off for me and I walk away.

Another session of watching the minions walking around with pieces of paper

Back from just over an hours riding this morning. Wore 3/4s though might have hit away with shorts.

Sort of sunny here chez Casa Reynard, and noticeably warmer. The wind has also switched direction.

Did not sleep terribly well. My brain didn't want to switch off, and I was still tossing and turning shortly before 6am, which was the last time I checked the time on my phone. Did eventually get to sleep, but I'm rather short on the zzzzzz.

Had a kitchen morning, turning a tray of overripe tomatoes into a pan of pasta sauce. In doing that, I've *finally* cleared the backlog that began when I came down with Covid. Now all I've got left to deal with is what's left on the vines. At least now that it's cooler, they're not ripening so quickly. I've made soups, pasta sauces, chutney, tomato tarts, curry, chilli and given about seven kilos away. I've had a stonking crop this year.

This afternoon I shall be bringing in firewood in advance of the wet weather coming in later this week.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.

A ton of parcels posted after selling lots of items on eBay. Then some interesting news - I've won £1000 of vouchers to spend at a store. That'll be different

Hope it's John Lewis and not Poundland 👍

@Tenkayev - it's above John Lewis . I think I'll split it 50:50 with SWMBO and we'll have a weekend away in London to spend it as it's got to be spent on location.

68th pint of the finest A+ has been sucked out of my right arm at The Saints rugby ground 🏉 🏥
With a 10 mile ride, there & back, on the Brommie. 🚲

 

[DCLane]

Well done for donating @PeteXXX - I'm currently not allowed to after receiving five pints of O+ during my 2017 operation.

Well where do i start.a little but the biggest meltdown this morning.it's the first 'big' one since finding out.All because i was going through some bits things you don't throw out because one day you will need them.So these were little love notes from the children how old they are i have no idea.but being soppy i keep some fathers day cards and these love you daddy notes.well that brought on a big weep.So jacket on and a walk in meanwood and down to Marcels cafe,one whopping bacon sarnie and a latte a good talk with my fave cafe owner and a walk in the sunshine.plus a talk with a lady who i have known since my reading corner days with the tots at mums and toddlers.So now nearly 15-00 i feel a lot better.Silly old sod there is a long way to go yet and a lot of good treatment coming.

Holding pipes today while glue dries is very boring
