No bananas or indeed anything else of that nature in the apartment. They seem to come out in the evening.
[Edit: That is the flies come out; I don't have spontaneous fruit appearing at sunset...]

Clear blue skies here
Washing is just about moving on the whirly gig so might dry.

Extended the caravan season until January. We're planning clearing it out over the next two months. Come to the end of our license and only choice is an upgrade to a new van (upgrade is a bit subjective as the new vans aren't as nice). We've had a guy come round for valuation (they get shipped to Poland for resale as UK market doesn't do vans over 20 years). Not expecting much.
Bikes loaded back on car to come home for winter. We've asked the site to price up a newer van, but it's alot of money plus over £4500 a year in ground rent, insurance etc, and maybe it's time we explored England bit more. Wife loves swimming in the sea every weekend, but she can do that elsewhere.
Its 50/50 at the minute, but the expense and commitment is the issue. You can do alot with that money. If we do leave, the plan is a van or micro camper/day van in the next couple of years.
Next job, tidy the garage to receive 3 more bikes, helmets, rucksacks and a load of camping gear.

Went to Lidl for some bits on Friday evening, an as I had some coupons I'd thought I'd use those up, thus buying stuff I didn't actually need at that point in time.
Scanned the app at the till.
Coupons didn't register. Yes, they were activated.
Rang their customer services yesterday, a very apologetic lady reset my coupons and gave me a £5 money off voucher.
Went again today, spent a lot more money on stuff we did need, some of which I also had coupons for.
Scanned the app at the till.
Coupons didn't register, again, including the £5 off one. Yes, they were activated.
Rang them again. They haven't got a clue what's happening.
Think I won't bother going again.

Been for a walk in the rain, properly wet. Will be watching more cross on GCN this afternoon.

"After ten years or more living in a very nice town house with our horses ten km away here in the Lot, we have finally " bitten the bullet" and bought a very beautiful farm house with barns and cattle buildings plus 16 or 17 hectares of mixed forest and grassland. The whole thing is exciting and scary at one and the same time. Just for the record , this is the house : needs a bit of TLC and l can't wait to get stuck in
Mrs Tenkaykev and I volunteered at Upton House junior parkrun this morning. We both jogged down, rain not due to start until 10:00 giving us time to get home afterwards. It persisted down and we both got soaked to the skin. Despite the weather there were over 90 youngsters braving the elements 🌧️🌧️🌧️

Just think how many bikes you'd be able to get in that shed on the left of the picture.

Could be handy though, and it might save you money.
Might be dangerous as well. Imagine walking into an apple that suddenly appeared in front of you, in mid-air.

Mild, grey and very drizzly here chez Casa Reynard.
Slept ok-ish, just not as deeply as I'd have liked. Had planned on hauling wood today as it was *SUPPOSED* to be dry after some overnight rain, but that's not been the case. Looks like the rain must've been waiting for a rail replacement bus or something. Ergo after having re-stocked the firewood bins in the house, I shall do some more work on my photograph database.
I acquired two new photos today, one from 1981 and one from a Ministox-only race meeting that was televised. I was given an article about the televised meeting earlier this year by a friend who found it in his archive of stock car stuff, and it's nice to have a photo to go along with it. I love it when things just come together like that.
Anyways, it is time for luncheon, and a certain Madam wants her chicken.
