I've spent most of the morning wandering around Bermondsey and Peckham. It's warm in the sun and cool in the shade. Overhead, conditions are perfect for forming contrails. I assume this means that there is some very cold air up there.

Lovely warm and sunny day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well - more than 10 hours - and have done diddly squat so far today.

About to have some luncheon and then sit outside in the sun listening to the qualifying from Austria.

Wondering what time we should go to ours neighbours 80th birthday party. She having an open house food and drinks in the garden sort of thing. It’s only just started and people have arrived bang on the start time. Just think it’s a bit like the dash for the food at a wedding to arrive too early.
She one of the few left in the street from my childhood. We had same great times at birthdays and Christmas. She and her husband kept an eye on us when my mum died. Having promised her they would. Be a chance to catch up with her kids who have grown up with.

Light rain showers with a bitterly cold wind. Been for a walk and like Mo the temp is 13C so nearly winter outfit on.
Down to the chemist for meds and signed a petition asking for government financial assistance for small pharmacies who are struggling and many closing down. When we had no chemist the GP did dispensing as well but was glad to be rid of this imposition.
Back with a mug of marmite to warm up a bit.

Carpet down.New door stripes ordered, all chestnut to match that at the top of the stairs. Have an offcut from the remnant big enough for a porch, not that I intend to use it for such.

the wind was so strong one day, while flying kite-cam, the wind took the kite so rapidly I had to press the spinning reel against my chest. something I've done before but with thicker clothing. I smelled rubber burning. it was me!

even got 2 lines burned into my chest requiring first aid cream for a cpl days. then that big storm rolled thru & we lost power for a cpl hrs, but only because an osprey nest on an electrical pole, caused a fault

no one there on the stormy day

having a grand time & biking on Martha's Vineyard & today is our last full day. always fun to see ppl jumping off the "Jaws Bridge"

Great Rock Bite overlook. it's a nice beach but the storm brought in a lot of seaweed so we moved to another spot

look at the size of this whale vertebra!

Our invisible cat has appeared! He is very frightened by something. I've given him some wet food , treats and strokes.

A spring in my armchair broke last night, so I thought I'd swap it for the other one that I don't use. Then I found out that I've already done that, they're both broken.

I've just had a canvasser on the doorstep for the first time ever AFAIR, when she showed me Cleverly's phizog I just laughed, so she went away.

Had a lovely luncheon of two slices of wholemeal toast, one with thinly sliced ribeye steak, the other with avocado, plus a nectarine, a tangerine and two

Listened to the F1 while sitting in the garden, and I've just come back from a very nice bicycular bimble.

Now sat with a and a biskit and watching 22 men in shorts playing with a ball.
