Drago's cover has been blown.
I have been reading a lot of rubbish {by my standards anyway} books from Borrowbox as that is virtually all they have.
Skimming through one set in Yorkshire and environs a character making a brief appearance is DI Drago who was in Burnley but seems to have been demoted and moved to Penrith.

Overcast, muggy and surprisingly warm here chez Casa Reynard. But the breeze is picking up. Not sure it will stay dry much beyond lunchtime.

I've spent the morning doing laundry and marking out the design on the new sign for the gate. The old ceramic one has broken and was always difficult to spot (wasn't my choice). I've given up on it and am making a wooden one in the style of a road sign.

That is similar to a notice that used to be at Sanna Bay on Ardnamurchan. It also added that anyone straying from the path was liable to be shot { by accident of course }.

Thirty - four minutes and twenty three seconds of work left this week

I was right about the rain. It started raining while I was slicing up a chunk of pork pie. It is still piddling it down.

Anyways, second load of laundry is in, and I am currently waiting for some paint to dry.

I made it back dry which was a minor surprise.

Not so much a surprise as a bonus.

Four of my figs were ripe enough to eat yesterday. So I ate them. They were very nice.

My daughter asks, "When's mum coming home?"
"In the next 5 minutes," I reply just as the phone rings.
I answer. It's my wife, "I'm in our village and I think the exhaust has fallen off the car. Can you walk over?"
Ever the gallant husband, I agree.

I regret agreeing. The rain is bouncing off the ground. My coat goes on.

The exhaust is indeed hanging off the car which is parked at the side of the road, hazards flashing. Cars zoom past and the rain increases it's deluge as I am on my hands and knees wrenching the back box off its rubber mounts before dumping the offending article into the boot.

The garage is called and a time set. Off I go and the car goes up on the ramp, "You'll definitely need a new back box (£80 plus fitting) and maybe a centre section too (£280 plus fitting - it's got a DP[-something-or-other])... We may be able to create a sleeve to join the new back box to the old centre section to save you money."

I start praying to the old gods and the new.

Thirty minutes later I'm driving away with a £100 less in my pocket. Those mechanics are miracle workers. I thank the old gods and the new. You know.., just in case.

I gave up on the washing I put out yesterday, this morning I brought it back inside and put it back in the machine to spin it, I'm now waiting for the weather to dry up a bit so I can put it out again.

Wouldn't hanging it up indoors simplify matters?
