There goes yesterday

Where?

Morning.
It is grey and damp out but I can see a patch of sky which is a lighter shade of grey.

Morning stroll completed to collect a newspaper.
First cuppa brewing
Just starting to get lighter another grey with a very fine mist in places

Time to go shopping for another bike.

Yes fancy trying a folder but nothing around price range locally.

Where?

It's behind you

I quite liked her music.

me too - we were hoping it would feature her years with Ike, they were the best, River Deep, Proud Mary, Nutbush - and the Ikettes, get up a hill or two with those legs - WOW

First cuppa was cold by the time I finished it

And they threw a surprise

There was a short feature about them on TV that had a squirrel lover complaining that his face hurt from smiling so much. That's what happens when a Yorkshireman uses unaccustomed muscles.

It's morning, miserable fog, mish.
More lawyers, meeting. Might get a bit free and frank.
Thank goodness I'm not paying. This lot are useless and wet.
Meeting messes up the morning for a ride out and a Trustees meeting this afternoon spoils things too.
Then I have the evening to myself whilst Management is out doing good works.

If a person is into making fraud worthwhile then losing their driving licence isn't going to affect them in any way. They will just drive without one.

no respect for the law.

Funny, I thought twas the outgoing that was carefully preventing any of their friends being charged for their crimes.

It's been a reasonably bright and somewhat chilly day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well enough, though I've tweaked a muscle in my, ahem, derriere, so turning over in bed is less than straightforward LOL! Anyway, spent the morning doing chores and topping up the wood in the house.

After a lovely luncheon of toast, smoked salmon mousse, torta di gorgonzola cheese, fruit and a it was into the gardening clobber and off outside for another trailer load of firewood before the weather turns. Now realistically, I didn't really need to go out, as I have something like four trailer loads stacked in the garage. But it's still too early in the year to be complacent about these things, and looking at the forecast, it's likely to be at least another week and a half to fortnight before I'll be able to lumberjill.

I filled the trailer, and then spotted another dead ash tree that has a reasonably clear line to fall. It's a bit too big for me to bring down safely, so I have cut a large wedge out of the bottom of the trunk and am hoping that Eowyn will do the rest of the job for me.

Have had a quiet early evening by the fire. Madam Lexi has been fed (Felix AGAIL with chicken) and soon it will be time to feed me.

Console yourself with the thought that I just spent £300 on logs which, if it were our only source of heat, would last us maybe a month.

Another day of chaos completed at work.

Bit of a change in the weather after a long spell of un-January-like weather. Really thick fog now, so no bike ride this evening. I sorted out the sticking back brake on my winter Raleigh. I've never been happy with it as it doesn't seem to be quite right fotr the bike, even though the matching front brake can be adjusted correctly.

Today is apparently squirrel appreciation day.

My dog appreciates squirrels

Good morning from Suffolk where the lack of sunshine continues - today with added rain & drizzle earlier and currently misty & murky.
Coffee has been had and I'm trying to build up the enthusiasm to go food & drink shopping as I don't think I'll be going out much with the wind and rain forecast for the next couple of days.

One piece of good news - I've a savings account maturing at the start of February and the bank has reminded me to make my options regarding what to do with the money. I've decided to withdraw the lot with the capital to be re-invested in an ISA at the start of April and the interest will give me plenty of spending money for a couple of weekends away that are booked for the month.

There is an assumption here that people bother with driving licences any more.
Step up and let's have ID cards. Not that that will work any better
What hope for a country where even the prime minister allegedly accepts free glasses and suits

A Belgian guy suggested to me that every Belgian regulation has a front door. Then people find or make a back door.
Back in the day that covered tax, ID cards and car number plates. amongst others.

Had a fabby supper of caulisprout cheese and a tuna & salad onion melt.

Wind is forecast then.
