Like 'back in't day' you could only buy two types of peas; processed or marrowfat.

It's been a very mild but very murky day here chez Casa Reynard, and one with drizzle hanging in the air.
Slept much better. The usual chores were done this morning including removing the ash from the grate, re-stocking wood, re-jigging fridges and checking the fruit & veg stores for anything in danger of developing language skills. The cauliflower I have in is looking a bit tired, so I shall steam it later. Once it's cooked, it can go into the fridge and be used in a cauliflower cheese after the weekend.
Had a lovely luncheon of sourdough toast, coronation chicken, torta di gorgonzola cheese, fruit and a
This afternoon was spent lumberjilling. Saw started first time, so yes, I did overheat it / flood it yesterday. Whoops! I brought in a heaped trailer load. Took off another three slices from the stump of that ash tree and cut each slice into quarters. That final slice was about 20 inches in diameter. Erk! The rest of the stump is of dubious quality. I will need to knock all the soil off it to see whether it's worth cutting the rest up.
Found another dead ash tree nearby. It's dingle dangling, but I can remove bits safely. Took off one large branch, and that was so big it filled most of a trailer. On the way back, I stopped off at an oak I'd felled last week, and chucked the rest of that onto the load. Most of the wood is in lengths, ergo I will have to spend some time turning that into logs. But when the light is poor, time is of the essence, and bringing in a good quantity of wood trumps turning it into logs every time.
Now sat back by the fire with a nice

Turns out it is full fibre being installed on Friday and the modem is part of intetnal wall fitment. i'm not sure how that adds to the predicted 3 hours.
Lunchtime trek to post the old router had to have a U turn and different route taken as I found a path still requiring the use of skates.
