Apparently it's something called Valentine's Day today.

........and the cat never even sent me one!

I tried to avoid the forecasted rain by heading out for an early walk but it came on a mile from home. I think it might be set in for the day so might have to hop on the Wattbike or treadmill later if I want any more exercise.

Was it the same one?

Good morning from an office in grey, overcast and distinctly damp underfoot Suffolk where the first coffee of the day is just at drinking temperature. I must have been tired when I went to bed last night as I forgot to set the alarms and overslept by just over half an hour. Despite this I still managed to have a quick couple of Weetabix, get everything else done and out of the house within 20 minutes allowing a slightly extended commute.

Forecast tells me we are having light rain and light winds today. Not so far raining but certainly light wind.
Looks like it may rain but it often waits till mid morning before starting.
Nothing planned but there is always gardening if I do not get out for a trike run or a walk.

Stop digging, pucker up and apologise.
Hear my pain.

Microsoft have sent me a Valentine's Day update!

And as part of the update, they've replaced the taskbar box that gets you to the desktop with ''co-pilot.'' So I asked co-pilot how to get to the desktop and it incorrectly tells me that I should go to the taskbar box. That'll be the one that's disappeared because it's been replaced by co-pilot. So I switched co-pilot off in the hope that it would reappear. Nah! Nowt.

So if anybody else uses Microshambles, you may have to use Windows + D to get there.

(Nostalgic for the time when Alt+Tab would show you all open programs and the desktop.)

Good evening from Bangkok.

Lunchtime stroll completed under some blue sky patches

It's a mild and blustery day here chez Casa Reynard, with the occasional hefty shower passing through.

Slept well, although I now have a case of the sniffles. Oh joy... NOT! Anyways, spent the morning having a lovely if VERY muddy walk with a friend and her dogs around the local playing fields. Stopped off at the book swap and picked out a copy of The Project Club's Project Manual.

I had a copy of this when I was in prep school - it's probably in one of the boxes of books on the loft. But I just thought I'd snaffle it to have a furkle and a bit of a giggle. Funny how I actually remember some of the things that are in it. Like how to make a soft toy cat, and how to do tabletop photography or care for a pony and the like. I foresee an amusing hour or two being spent.

Will need to pop into town later as I have a small parcel to post, plus I need bread, milk, potatoes and some fruit. Along with some snacks for Saturday, as I'm stewarding at the Coventry & Leicester at NAEC Stoneleigh.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon and Madam Lexi wants her ham.

The final coffee of the working day has just been made. It should wash down the remainder of a pack of fruit pastilles that someone has donated to the snack tin quite nicely.

Not actually raining. No school run, so safe to go out between 1430 and 1600.
I'm off!
