i am trapped in the house,being help prisoner against my will.Mrs P and me have managed to break two of three door keys inside three days.She has the spare.Stupid things must be made of chocolate.But two inside three days must be a record.One of us might have to go to Headingley to the key man,sadly this is where they came from,so the replacements might not last a year or more.
I did a 20 mile ride and managed to dodge the rain and the top half of me stayed dry. The roads were completely awash with water everywhere from all this morning's rain so I got my feet wet despite mudguards.
There's been a real drop in temperature too. Wouldn't surprise me if some frost is on the menu.

During Covid lockdown,not feeling too well,we got a bloke in to paint the staircase.Ex RAF he did a great job on the landing.

Well, he should have been able to handle a flight of stairs.

Was he asked to take off the picture rail?
Did know what he was doing, or just wing it?
At least the cad didn't ask to check your undercarriage 😮

It's been a dry, breezy and occasionally sunny day here chez Casa Reynard.
Slept well. Took advantage of the fact that it was dry to do a day's lumberjilling. I've cleared up some more storm damage and brought a heaped trailer full of firewood into the garage. Where I've been working, a cherry tree I'd intended on felling because I'd noticed last time that part of the main stem was rotten, came down in Storm Gerrit. So next time I get a window in the weather, turning that into firewood is the job on the agenda. I'll definitely get two if not three trailer loads out of that.
I also had a lovely luncheon of the last of the turkey, bacon & onion that I fried up with the liver the other day stuffed into a sandwich, some cheese, a pear, a tangerine and two
The plan is to have a quiet evening footling around in the IMechE archive again. I've been tackling the stuff in there from the most recent to the oldest, so I'm now getting to the point where things are becoming less relevant. But there's still the odd bit lurking in there related to the engines that I need to research and identify, so I need to keep going.

Are you able to wang a welly for 22 miles?
Mind you, with the causeway across the Hundred Foot flooded out (currently around 4ft of water), you'd have to take the long way 'round.

View from the balcony this morning.
Posted to show that we do see blue sky occasionally. If you lot could stop sending us your used manky weather so we could see it a bit more, that'd be great. Thanks.

If the wind had of been from the North I could have wanged it at least half way, i reckon 👍

I did think that. But it's blowing a brisk westerly, alas...
