On late shift so im mooching about the house for another couple of hours till i need to go to work , need to pop out of work later for follow up with the consultant for my thumb op and as im still officially restricted at work its not a problem. Half the times im literally pushing a broom about at work but at least im getting paid .

I've just had some Oasis soup....
You get a roll with it 👍

So we've been at this place an hour and a half. I can't still keep holding seats in a cafe for an hour whilst SIL goes browsing, and I've finished my coffee ages ago. Certainly not at lunchtime. I've told them I'll wait in the car. Really can't stand the place. It's hot and I'm dressed for camping so warm hiking pants and jumper.

Apparently 2 brothers are getting back together and having a bit of a sing song.

Oh really!

Presumably the promoters will be insuring against the risk of them falling out again before the gig.

cool, what does "wooden" mean?

Unexpressive acting, possibly?

And a side lawn* as well in my case


*more of a 6' wide strip of grass shared with my neighbour

I was going to cut my rear lawn today, but it's raining.

Lasted 20 minutes, gone for a coffee. Bit difficult ordering a coffee when on your own as you haven't got a table. The old folk bag a table before placing an order. By the time you've got served the table has been 'reserved'.

I'm afraid that always makes me angry.

Maybe I'm cynical but I'm sure they must have good motivation for getting back together that will help overcome any difficulties.

I'm presently working out how & where I can see the Tour of Britain around Hamtun on Saturday 7th.
They're zipping along, around & across my usual way home from work so, hopefully, I can get the chance to be there. I doubt I'll be finished in time to watch the finish in the town centre, though.

A warm, breezy and mostly sunny day here chez Casa Reynard.

Did not sleep well and feel rather bleugh. I have a chesty cough, my nose is like a leaky tap, I have a stuffed head and I really wish I knew what I've done to my right knee, as it's rather painful. Well, I sort of know what it is, as my kneecap is a bit wibbly, which means I've likely strained the damn thing again.

My hopes for a quiet day have been dashed, as I noticed that the damsons I picked on Friday really need using. I do not want to waste them, so I shall be making damson & apple jam this afternoon. Thank goodness it's a pretty straightforward task, and sets pretty quickly thanks to the high levels of pectin. So shouldn't take me too long to do.

Hopefully I'll still get some time to bum-park in the sun with a book or a podcast for a bit.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon and someone wants their chicken.

Morning ride done. Dry and humid.

 

[Jenkins]

Definitely?

Maybe.

Lovely 50 miles out through the Suffolk countryside to the regular watering hole in Beccles with a stop off on the way to pay off the balance for the new armchair.
With an hour to go before I need to leave to get the next train home another 🍺has just been ordered

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Maybe.

I was worried I'd set that one up for nothing!

And I was surprised that nobody else had made the obvious link
