It's been a mostly sunny and rather mild day here chez Casa Reynard. A cool start early doors and now it's clouded over.

Slept reasonably well. Had a gentle choresy morning, puttering about doing assorted bits and pieces. I also sneaked a nice sit down in the sunshine with Madam Lexi. I saw a brimstone butterfly and noticed that some of my crocuses have actually survived - the squirrels are bar stewards when it comes to digging up the corms and eating them. The flowers are all purple, so I wonder if colour might have something to do with it.

Had a lovely luncheon of wholemeal toast, the last of the corned beef, camembert, the last of the cranberry sauce that was in the fridge, some fruit (including a very lovely red orange) and a

I have sort of destroyed my knee insulating part of the loft yesterday - could barely get downstairs this morning, still got about 60 mile to do on the bike this week, absolute disaster

been icing it up all day, walking still painful, but tried the bike, just ¼ of a mile, and it wasn't horrendous - hopefully get a few mile in the morrow, I know a very flat 9 mile loop, may be that !
Im still going to be behind target this week my 130 mile lead will be decimated
