T'is but sweat, along with any dirt it caught.
Get enough of it and you can make a candle. If you do, light it outside.

I am there, and can meet up at Uptown Station.
Generally, Lincoln Service trains have a Siemens Charger for a locomotive, Amfleet for business class and cafe car, and Horizon coaches, soon to be replaced by Siemens coaches. I believe the cost, from Chicago to Normal, is about $20 round trip.I would not take the bus, nor go near the Chicago bus station.

I thought that I would check our Kia Venga again for the intermittent ESP light . It was on ! 
Did a test drive and it remained on . Switched off the engine and restarted it and it went out .
Went on line to look for possible causes. Went up to Halfords to get the battery checked. The battery was borderline so I bought a new one as it is 9 years old . Fitting it was fun . I will have to see if it's had any effect .

Children don’t collect conkers anymore.
In my day they were snapped up before they hit the ground.
Outside my son’s school there are conkers all over the pavement.

Mild and breezy here chez Casa Reynard, with the odd bit of sun (less frequent) and the odd spit and spot of rain (more frequent).
I have spent the morning on "Operation Kitchen Cupboards" - I do not think I will need to buy peppercorns or cloves again in my lifetime. Dad used to buy stuff in bulk because it was cheap and then hide it from everyone...
Have also thrown away a lot of truly ancient dry goods. I really hate throwing stuff away, but even I balk at pasta that's 25 years out of date. Hidden, of course, behind assorted items of kitchenalia.
I have also found a whole jar of liquorice sticks.
Anyways, it's time to knock off for lunch, as I have a hungry.

The World conker championships, in Southwick, have been cancelled this year due to covid 😔
I rode there a couple of years ago, about 50 mile round trip. It's great fun!!

Quick 16 miler (well lost a few minutes). Bit muddy but just over half way round, I passed a farmer cutting down Hawthorns. You guessed it. I heard a click click from the front wheel then nothing. The tyre stayed up until about a mile from home when the 2.35 was very wayward. Nursed it up a climb, but was two roads from home and it was flat. Decided to walk the last few hundred yards as it started to rain heavily - I'll fix it when the bike is hosed off and I'm dry.. Walk of shame, and even a neighbour saw me.

"Operation Kitchen Cupboards" is just about complete. 
The reason for pressing on with it is that it's bin day tomorrow, and anything that really needed throwing away could either go in the black bag or green wheelie bin. Both of which have duly been put out for collection.
Good job I decided to give foraging for walnuts a miss this afternoon as it's now wazzing it down with rain. I will go on Wednesday instead, as I have a couple of errands that take me out in that direction anyways.
Also found a spare hessian grain sack in the garage. It will be just the ticket for storing my walnuts in. I have hand-washed it, and it is now dripping over the bath to dry.

That's an easy one! More shortbread, particularly "Highlanders".

You seem to like the sound of the cuisine here chez Casa Reynard, though...
I like food.

There was something there? I thought he was just being mundane,
