Cold, breezy and overcast here chez Casa Reynard.

We are having an indoors day and have been watching the BTCC meeting from Silverstone and the cycling from Imola. We also listened to the F1 from Sochi on the radio.

I think i am going to succumb and put the fire on as it feels so damn miserable and cold. Fluffy pink socks might be a good idea too...

Whiskers kitten food. Mostly She does try. By standing on the "lip", of the litter tray, and scrapping said lip. If I'm there I go in with poo bag and remove it, Pink then looks round and looks at me as if to say, "I did a bang up job of burying that!"
Although I think the uncovered poop was in retaliation for me being out at work for 10 hours.......

Ah. Whiskas.

Much explained regarding the stinky poops.

Whiskas is slightly higher in sugar (carb) content than most typical foods, and a cat's digestive tract can't always cope with that. Hence the smell. Cat poop shouldn't be excessively stinky.

My two think Whiskas is the spawn of satan. They won't touch the stuff.

What do you mean by salad onions? Are they the fat spring onions that have become regular visitors to my fridge's salad compartment?

Pretty well much - salad onions, spring onions and scallions are essentially the same thing.

Makings of a good stir-fry there then with the Baby Corn, Mangetout and Scallions.

My attempt at eggy bread turned out to be a complete waste of a perfectly good egg. I think I'll stick to fried, boiled, poached and scrambled in future.

Eh, sod the Grand Prix...

The BTCC from Silverstone was EPIC today, especially race 3.

Formula One, eat your little boring wimpy heart out!

My Dad just told me there's a back of his railway books on the way, and described them as "The first instalment of your inheritance"

I've told him I didn't know I had an inheritance, and in any case I'd rather not be inheriting the rest for a few years if he can manage it.

I'm thinking along the lines of a katsu curry...

That'll be when he sends the front of it.

Lovely day, if deceptively chilly. Sixty odd miles cycled, enjoying the quiet roads now that the county has been closed down again.

Had steak and kidney pie, chips and beans as a Sunday treat and now relaxing with a bottle of Budejovicky Nudvar and listening to Dean Martin

My internet seems to have about as much speed as a Ford Popular with burnt exhaust valves and sticking brakes.
