Second cuppa went down well.
The DHL parcel has just been collected so ahead of my estimated time

This morning there has been a police car in this street, at the house opposite.

Then an estate agent cos the house next door is up for sale.

What is the third one?

I've just noticed that it was 13 years ago yesterday that I started my last ever cycle tour, I remember watching the riots on the telly at Cambridge YHA. I was on the way to Thurlby YHA today.

Nothing outdoors here today needs watering given the amount falling from the sky.
Does not deter traffic tho' as when I went into Oban and spent too much money on food shopping traffic was nose to tail in both directions.
I do not have problems getting any furniture into or out of my current house. In previous houses which were pretty old we had "interesting" stairs to get bedroom furniture in.
The problem is getting an ICE recumbent trike inside for the winter. The Kettwiessel stays in my car and I doubt I could get it indoors anyway.
The ICE Adventure can get in by taking the seat off and turning it on it's side before shuffling into a spare bedroom [or bike store if you prefer]. They could stay in a shed in the garden but it tends to be damp and there is the possibility of mouse damage on any bits vaguely edible.

Lunchtime stroll completed

I may get into trouble for doing that.

Also, we've just had a new smoke detector system fitted.

You should test it.

Evening cuppa and a custard creme went down well

I saw a Spitfire fly past earlier. It was a dark blue one , PR possibly, flying North East low.

Was it worth it?

What sounded and looked like a Boeing Steerman biplane has just flown over flying west. Nothing showing up on flight radar.

My working day and week is complete
Its the weekend

Immediate post WAH trek to Aldi in slightly windy conditions with a mixture of dark threatening clouds and blue sunny skys. Four days worth of salad leaves acquired after a pretty long study of shelves looking for a bag dated the 13th.

This is one of the considerations I have to make - the current one only just fits through the doors as I found out when it took me quite a while to figure out how to move it out when I was having the carpets done last month. If it gets replaced, it will just be cut up and moved out in pieces.

Pictures are OK, but they don't give an actual measurement and it seems that a three seater can be anything from 150cm (too small) to 210cm between the arms. Looking around last night, Next seem to be very good with showing the internal sizing and options AND the local store has a furniture department...
It's only for occasional use as I still prefer the recliner armchair for a quick doze and this is also on the potential replacement list.

If they give an outside dimension you can scale the photo from that.

For £300, you can have a ride in one over here, or £390 for a Harvard.

A warm and mostly sunny day here chez Casa Reynard - but a very breezy one, so my internet has been doing the hokey cokey.

Slept well, but still feeling really sleepy. Have spent the day writing and watching the action from Paris. And I also spent some time sitting in the garden. There's been precious little of that happening this summer.

My clubcard vouchers finally turned up in the post. I had been wondering where they'd gotten to.

I need to go and make room for more tea.
