Mundane News

[Jenkins]

Good morning from Suffolk where it's another bright & sunny start to the day. Coffee has been had with the first biscuit from a newly opened pack of Tesco dark chocolate digestives.

Just over an hour of faffing about, breakfast and catching up with the news to go then a stroll will be taken to the local station for the first leg of today's outing.

Belated happy birthday to @Speicher.

Cloudy but dry so far and no wind.
Only one small ferry running today as they juggle the fleet because of all sorts of problems.
Years ago we only had one ferry doing three sailings per day most days and no Sunday sailings either and the world did not come to an end and this was a nicer place to live then.
The same ship is still going but converted into a luxury cruise ship and it came in to the bay for shelter during the recent gales.

Nothing planned but may carry on clearing out my sheds and greenhouse.

A mild and occasionally sunny day here chez Casa Reynard after a murky start.

Slept well, but sniffles and heffalumps still prevalent. I have spent the morning writing and editing photos. Colourpoint cats have very reflective eyes, which has meant time spent in photoshop dealing with the whole "alien cat from outer space" thing.

This afternoon's task will involve making another batch of tomato sauce. I'm not freezing any more of it - this lot will be diverted to making a ragu for a pasta bake. I've already taken some pork mince out of the freezer so that it can defrost at its own pace.

It is almost time for luncheon.

Today's walk was quite warm, mid 50s, according to the thermometer.

PoE adapter arrived for the wifi box, so I was planning to run a cable into the roof space to get better coverage. What I thought was a nice thin plasterboard wall turns out to have something hard in it!, admittedly my drill has seen better days.

Remainder of the cherry branches have been shredded & spread under blackthorn, which itself needs a trim.

I ignored Twitter's repeated demands to enter my date of birth for months until it locked me out, so then I entered one. Now it's gone back to demanding that I give it my DoB every time.

That's what it's done to me. However, it's only locked me out once.

Told you, info gathering. Be after your e-mail next.

They demand an email & phone number to register an account.

Good afternoon from Leeds - didn't want to say where I was heading earlier in case the Yorkshire Mafia on here tried to block the rail line

Lovely and sunny all the way to Ely and it's got progressively greyer and misty the further north travelled.

Time to find somewhere for lunch.

Ended up at the Hedley Verity - cheap food & beer. I could almost be a Yorkshireman

All this sneaking into Yorkshire without telling us won't do - we can't corner you to provide us with free food and drink

I've gone to Lancashire (Manchester velodrome to be exact) in disgust.

Miserable day from now on known as a Jenkins front. Abandoned WAH at 4.30 to empty a bag of rubbish out of the wheelie bin. Yes that tube of ointment had fallen into the bathroom waste bin and consequently emptied unseen into the waste bag. Good start to the weekend, found something.
