The closest match for headlight shape seems to be a Porsche Cayenne.

A blustery day here chez Casa Reynard. Started off hosing with rain, finished sort of clear and a tad chilly.

Slept as well as lady issues will allow. Had a bit of a lie in. Done a bunch of chores, including going through my apple store and wanging the dodgy ones, and taking all of those potatoes out of the plastic packaging and putting them in my pukka potato sack. Also dropped off the parental's prescription, and shoved Christmas up on the loft.

As I walked out of the utility room earlier, I came face to face with a squirrel who had come to investigate the apples. It looked at me, I looked at it, we stood there for about ten seconds, I said "hello" and off it shot into a nearby ash tree.

I'm wondering what Elon Musk is smoking. The man is somewhat off his trolley. Sure, he does have a point, but slander is not the way to go about it. Either that, or he's deliberately stirring the pot. (Masz tu kaduceus Polski. Mąć nim woda, mąć!)*

Plan on having a quiet evening and hopefully get some writing done. I have managed to untangle a knot that was stopping me from completing a passage. Hopefully now I can get on and finish this chapter. I have done precious little in the last three weeks, and I really need to crack on tbh.

Now sat down by the fire watching the news and supping a

*Yep, that's a quote from Stanislaw Wyspianski's "Wesele" that I had to read for A-level. It kind of stuck in my head, thirty something years later...

I'm back after my scan. They put something in my arm and it felt like I was suddenly sitting on a heated seat.
On the way back home I was followed by a big SUV type vehicle with very bright lights, I dipped my interior mirror but couldn't do anything about the door mirrors. I tried shaking him off but he wanted to stay close behind me. I need a mirrored rear parcel shelf which can be raised or lowered so they can see the effect of their lights.

The type of eejit that tailgates would be too thick to pick up on any cues.

First day back in the office again. Still a disaster. Still no supervisor, still no clear directions. The work we've done is supposed to be being checked before we progress it further but nobody has done so yet.

Was very icy walking there this morning and care was needed. Thankfully, I remained upright.

The forecasted snow finally arrived this afternoon but is gone again by the time I was walking home. The torrential rain washed it away and left me absolutely drookit.

Changed clothes and now making some vegetable soup.

You didn't drop any of your equipment that you were warned to carry!

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.

"Met Éireann has implemented a Status Yellow low temperature and ice warning for all counties which will be in place until midnight on Friday, and the forecaster has warned that temperatures will struggle to get above freezing during the day."

Think you'll need something warm to wear this week @tyred.

I’ve just watching Easy Midlands.news the area around us featured around us. Sharnford was flooded Never seen it flooded before
The Brick layers Arms was flooded We we’re there for lunch on Saturday
Ratby was flooded with only one road still open A considerable amount of building has taken place and drains not coping with the water.This is a village that has an application approved after it went to appeal after it wa initially turned down for exactly the reason the village is currently experiencing
All the building round is has been on prime farm land

Perhaps some one can correct me if I’m wrong but all this building site drains into the drains that was never meant to cope with the extra demand

Field drainage doesn’t seem to be maintained One road I frequently ride along had a ditch that in spring was always full of frog spawn.That ditch now has disappeared .Years ago I can remember when farmers regularly cleared the ditches That road was closed today due to flooding Wether this had anything’ to due with that road .

Evening cuppa went down well
Gritters are out and about

Must have been a slight thaw, Freesat has returned.

Fabby supper this evening of spicy carrot & red lentil soup, then oven-baked plaice with tarragon & capers, triple-cooked beef dripping chips and steamed green beans.

Domestics done this morning - steam mopped the kitchen floor, changed the bedding, little bit of dusting and another quick vacuum of the carpet. Eventually the rain showers finallly stopped mid afternoon so I went out for a walk in the cold, stiff breeze just to get some fresh air.
I'd not long been home and had got settled on the sofa with a cuppa when Parcelforce turned up with a delivery for me to play with...

It'll give me something to do on Tuesday.

I think I shall have an early night.
