The rain has stopped. Guess who decided to change his exhaust back box yesterday without checking the forecast. I was very soggy by the time I had finished, down to soggy underpants !

I can remember days like that in the past . Having to cycle to work because the car was off the road and then having to crawl underneath the car and work on the car when you got home .
The good old days !

Putting a new fish order from Regal Fish today. I'll get some more basa (pangasius), crab claws, Scampi, paella mix and I'm going to try coley, which I've never had before.

Do you have a marine aquarium?

Hey, we have a birthday day! G-son is 8. I didn't see the cake that g-mother made but I'm 100% sure it's chocolate. G-mother's cakes are impressive. This is g-daughter's from a couple of days ago.

(Her parents bought her a bearded dragon as a present.)

Confused now. Is it a real one or a cake?

Poor Leo - he's not a happy cat. Annual vaccinations yesterday for him and old Tiggy. Leo has cat flu which hasn't 're-occurred' in the last two years. The trip to the vet was unusual as MrsF had a brief chat with vet at door, cats then taken to room whist MrsF waited outside. No paperwork etc, so we couldn't check which vaccine he had been given, as he is supposed to have the 'non-live' version.

We think he's been given the live one as he slept all evening and hasn't been himself today - he might also be sore, but he's got beef with MrsF and won't take food off her, not even his favourite, sandwich ham. Tiggy has been fine.

It is overcast, breezy, warm and drizzly here chez Casa Reynard.

Fever broke around 6 am after a rough night, and the worst of the pain faded away. Finally managed to get some sleep. I woke up to some whopping blood blisters inside my mouth, which was very odd. Definitely feeling a lot less grotty though, but still confined to eating porridge, rice pudding, soup and cheesy mashed potato as my face is still very sore.

I might work on my painting this afternoon, or tinker with the bike. It's a relief to feel almost normal again.

Oh, and Happy Birthday to my dear, darling Poppy. She's 11 today!

The girls have a fresh tuna steak to share for later.

Coley is a lot like cod, albeit significantly cheaper. The raw flesh is greyer, but it cooks up nice and white. Works well for anything where you'd use white fish. I find it's particularly good in a fish pie.

Morning.
I see that the Sussexes have signed a deal with Netflix to make films . Will they be playing all the parts like Sir Alex Guinness did in Kind Hearts and Coronets ?

That’s my Netflix cancelled

I made chicken salad for lunch.

One of the good things about this working from home is that I generally eat healthier than I ever have done as I have more time and make everything from fresh ingredients and am not tempted by colleagues bringing in cakes.
