You may be asked to give evidence at The Hague. Keep the appropriate authorities apprised of your whereabouts.

Well will not be travelling to the Netherlands at the moment....

I've sussed it!


I quite often tell people that there's an ice cream van jingle which was number one in the singles chart when i was born.

There is a bloke who so didn't want to go into the family Ice-cream business that he started a rock band,

Sunny and warm at the moment here chez Casa Reynard, but the cloud is bubbling up, and the car radio was crackling and popping like a good'un when I went out a short while ago, so there are thunderstorms in the area.

I went to the post office to post a friend's birthday present (the box of chocs I bought the other day) but it was shut. We have a travelling PO here in the village, but the lady is on holiday this week. And had she not been, it would still have been shut as the opening hours have changed. Aaaaaargh!

I'll have to go to the next village along after lunch and hope their (permanent) post office is open.

In better news, my replacement QR skewer should be arriving today.

Yes, the family was in Catford when I was a lad.

There should be a Spitfire flying tomorrow afternoon over Swindon hospital, Chippenham , Trowbridge and Bath to celebrate the NHS.

Just had a seriously biblical storm (rain, wind, hail) while I was eating my lunch. It's moved through, and now the sun is shining again.

My replacement QR skewer has arrived.

You just made me think: I wonder if I can ger a World Service Radio?

I thought I'd get wet on the commute back from work.

But I didn't.

I was complemented by an E-bike rider at the speed I was maintaining though.

Sorry, but what is a hill?

Anyways, trip to post office sorted. Plus I did a detour on the way home to check up on some places where I like to forage from the hedgerows.

Now it's time for a and some lebkuchen.

Mmmmm, I have one of those knocking around somewhere...

Although I'm not exactly sure of where somewhere actually is.

Ah, that's brill. And there's a couple of things that he's done that I may well try in my current project.

Just read that scientists have detected a star orbiting the black hole at the centre of Sagittarius A at 8% of the speed of light. So fast, time dilation can be observed. Wow wow wow.
