Morning stroll strolled .
Second cuppa went down well

 

[Jenkins]

One load of towels and one load of clothing washed and on the whirlygig to dry in the very warm sunshine.

I think a slow bike ride is called for.

Considering drilling holes in the stair dry wall to mount my collection of model aircraft using an insert and long screw and drilling a mounting hole in the tail of the aircraft.
(I have SWMBO approval)

@biggs682 Just gone through Holcot.. Very fast! 😂

Grey and warm here chez Casa Reynard, with the occasional bit of sunshine.

Did not sleep well - had the old too hot, too cold thing going on. Think I only totalled about four hours of decent sleep. So have had a quiet morning watching the ToB. I've also had a nice girly pamper session.

This afternoon's plan is to pop down to the local nature reserve where there is a really good stand of blackberries and pick a whole load. Some I am diverting to a friend, while I plan on freezing some, and then making some bramble & apple jelly in order to use up some more of those Lady Hollindale apples.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

Update on the farm they've now removed all the roof and are knocking out what you'd call the ceilings. I'm no builder but don't think is a good idea to knock them though. By kicking them though from above as you are standing on them.

The reinforcements in front of the compost bins are working. That is a good thing, as I assume it means that the badger/s are now able to find worms in the places where they usually snuffle.

I was going to give chase on the Brommie but I didn't want to show them up 😉

Lawns have been trimmed with the rear getting a lower cut than the front.
Time for an afternoon brew

Noticing some croissants that were on the verge of developing language skills meant that tonight's supper was not what I'd planned. So I filled the croissants with cheese and bacon and stuck them in the George Foreman grilly thing to toast. And have to say, toasties made with croissants are the mutt's nuts. Had a tomato & basil salad on the side.

My knuckles are still tingling from a bit of an encounter with some nettles earlier.

Every now & then I have an encounter with nettles that get me through my clothes!

Trimmed off the Ivy that was making it's way round the front of the house, bit of a fine smirr so couldn't touch up the paintwork on the rendering but TBH it doesn't look too bad, think I got the Ivy early enough this year.

A lovely morning on the perambulation. Maybe we'll get an Indian Summer 🌞

A month or two t go first.

Mostly sunny all day and certainly no rain in prospect.

Went to library and then to chemist to pick up a prescription. Nothing else of note done as don't feel too well.
All a bit vague with cold and shivering. No idea what caused this as I have not been anywhere crowded recently to pick up a bug.

Everything seems to come at once sometimes.
I have a hospital appointment in Oban on 11th October and now an appointment for the winter flu jag locally on 10th. These dates also conflict with the dates my son would be able to take be to a Glasgow hospital if I can get an appointment.
Trouble is I cannot speak directly to the appointments office to negotiate a suitable date as everything gets passed through another office.

Somebody is wanting to know the best place to book now for a Christmas dinner.

Tales of being stuck behind slow moving cars who will not let anyone past abound and road rage is rising.
To compound our troubles a newspaper has an article saying Mull is the best place to go and not Skye.

It doesn't look much fun.
