Mild, overcast and sort of breezy here chez Casa Reynard.

I spent the morning doing various domestic type puttering. This included putting away the de-quarantined groceries, rotating the trays of walnuts in their stack next to the dining room radiator and making gravlax.

Almost time for lunch. Good, because I have a hungry.

This is going to sound so wrong, but... I won't be far behind you!

Ooooooeeeerrrrrrr!

An update on the availability of Slack: My Slack was working well. I could decide my own priorities and rest when I needed. The problem occurs when other peeps think I have no need of Slack, and think I can live at warp speed their pace. I cannot cut them some Slack, and they will not give me any.

Lots of peeps feel angry/worried and all sorts of other emotions. I think this causes them to forget that I am still in Recovery Mode.

I have some spare slack if you need it, hun xxx Although it is covered in cat hair as the girls have been borrowing it for their naps.

Will this Slack do?

A sad day. Had to log in early, ask the boss for half a day, then scoot over the border into North Wales and lock up the caravan - We've supposedly got another 2 months of the season, but no chance. Can't travel in and out of the county, and to top it off, whilst the caravan is 1 mile from a local town, that's in a different county, so you have to drive 10 miles the other way to shop (Fflintshire/Denbighshire border). I don't think the Welsh Government have thought this through - the stay within x miles was better.

Exactly!!!

Operation Kitchen Cupboards continued on post-prandium.

I need to figure out what to do with about 10kg of Belgian coffee that I found at the back of the cupboard I chose to empty (Storme & Jacquemotte), as I only drink decaffinated, and rarely at that. Maybe I'll be making coffee and walnut cake...

I'm all set for Lebkuchen and stollen though, as I have about a dozen jars of honey, 1.5kg of mixed peel, 2kg of glace cherries, 4kg of muscovado sugar, 2kg of marzipan and about 5kg of assorted dried fruit. Oops.

Anyways, it's here now.

Going to make myself a and see what the Dear Leader will be waffling incoherently about this time...

It is raining here . I decided to make use of it and wash my car as our tap water leaves lime scale water marks .

Just fed the Cats and whilst ours came in relatively dry from their hidey holes Fluff appeared like a drowned Rat I guess life is different for a Tomcat. He's currently laid on the rug* in the middle of the Kitchen having a kip but no doubt he'll be back on his rounds later.

* I get told off if I call it a mat, apparently it's a Rug.

My understanding is that if it's got a pile, it's a rug, if it's woven, it's a mat.

Still an hour and a half away from food time for the girls. Last I looked, Poppy was zonked out on the bed and Lexi was welded to the radiator in the dining room.

And I sit on a settee, not a sofa, not a couch.

Your cat corrects your vocabulary, impressive.

He's not even my Cat, he just lives here now.

I've got cats. Am relegated to the footstool.
