My mate's funeral has been confirmed for a week on monday. Going to be a private/small ceremony as his missus doesn't want anything on Social media, but has obliviously gone through his messages to see who he is still in touch with. Confirmed heart failure due to complications of the week's before heart attack. I believe his missus wants a cycling theme.

Enjoy the Land of Nod.

I did. Was good to have a night's sleep with no dreams that mess with my head.

 

[Reynard]

tonight, sleep and me aren't easy bedfellows

Sympathies xxx

I hate insomnia.

Which usually ends up as insomnomnomnomnomnomnia...

Getting up slightly later than usual this morning: Today is the final, final exam for my course and I don't have to be off quite as early as I do for work.

Fingers and paws crossed for you from all of us girls here chez Casa Reynard xxx

Right, that ash tree is now all cut up. Need to haul the wood this afternoon. Only four oak trees to go, but the wood is of much poorer quality, so an easier job there.

However, I now need to go to the agricultural machinery / tool place up the road for a) a gallon of chain saw oil, b) a new chain and c) another bottle of 2-stroke oil.

FWIW, I also use the chain saw oil to lube my bike...

Off to go have some lunch first, though.

We were woken in the middle of the night by 2 Tomcats (neither of em ours*) scrapping downstairs, need to hoover up this morning.

* one of em thinks he lives here now.

Cat hair everywhere, I assume?

Right, that's lunch. The last of the curried parsnip soup, a chunk of baguette with the last of the garlic sausage, two and a pear and some strawberries.

I am now suitably fortified for this afternoon's tasks.

And safe from vampires !

And safe from vampires !

That too.

I love garlic, so vampires definitely aren't a problem here.

 

[Lullabelle]

Yes, just the heads.

Great thanks, they are starting to look messy

That's just a myth. Show me one person who has been saved from a vampire due to garlic.

Yep, Fluff* might be a tiny cat under all that fur but he is a tough nut, the big Ginger one doesn't stand a chance.

* Little Lord Fluffington to give him his full title.

Well, I haven't seen any vampires around here. QED.

You're asleep during most of the night though.
