Had a lazy day yesterday watching / listening to too much motor racing - BTCC, Spa 4 hrs, F1.
Went and did the bank holiday yellow sticker lurk today. Reductions not especially generous - stingey even, according to the chap who was doing the fruit & veg markdowns. Still, some decent enough bargains to be had, so I can't complain too much.
Picked up a guineafowl, a roast-in-the-bag chicken, scallops, prawns, nocellara olives, spring greens, strawberries, raspberries, a wholemeal bread and three small bottles of extra virgin olive oil.
The guineafowl has gone straight into the freezer, and to carry on the theme of conversation, will probably end up being this year's Christmas dinner here chez Casa Reynard. Most likely after receiving a bacon jacket and having had sage & onion stuffing shoved up its bottom.
Speaking of which, they've started putting out the Christmas biscuit and chocolate selections in Tesco today. This involved messing around with the shelf layout, so cue much crashing, banging and clanging. And some amusement on my part while I waited for final reductions.
Stopped off at a new foraging spot on the way home, and picked two kilos of rowanberries. So there will be more jelly being made this week. I'm thinking that this jelly would be lovely to glaze a gammon with...

There goes the long weekend not surprised it didn't go in one.
First cuppa of the day going down well.
Looks like a nice day outside some blue patches amongst the white clouds.

Morning.
It's sort of beige this morning. The cars have moisture on them and mine has snail trails on the bonnet. I'm wondering if snails like eating carnuba wax?

Garden bird feeders have been topped up.
Sounds like a good plan to me
Enjoy the break

Good morning from a bright & sunny Suffolk where the first coffee of the day has just been finished. I've got to do an early trip into town to drop some parcels off at the Post Office and then to get some milk. I should then be able to have some breakfast while I make my mind up as to what route out to take for lunch.

Weather back to normal high wind and pouring rain. Not umbrella weather as it would be inside out in a flash.
Visibility is less than half a mile and I notice my neighbour has taken his flagpole down so his forecast must be even worse than mine.
Good job I got some outdoor work done yesterday as no chance for the next few days.
I also took the opportunity of a dry day to check the car tyre pressures. Nearside front seems to lose a bit of pressure and needs to be topped up every month. Garage has no idea why this should be.
Screenwash should have been topped up but that can wait a bit yet.
Lots of things I should be doing indoors but cannot be bothered.

Right, kids returned home all in one piece. Several small crabs, one shrimp and 2 small fish found by the kids - they love a bit of rockpooling - and lots of seals over at Horsey Gap.
The most effective way of keeping the kids quiet in the back seat was to feed them ample portions of chips. (Other ways of tranquillising passengers may be available but there might be ethical issues.) For about an hour and a half there was almost total silence.
