It's a good thing I remembered that it was recycling bin day today. None of you lot reminded me.

I'm just having a glass of milk stout. I've always wondered what it was like since the 1960's when Minnie Caldwell drank it in the Rovers Return.
It doesn't taste like milk by the way.

As noted in another thread, today was bike fettling day. Sod's Law meant that it was a bright & warm morning so I stuck a load of washing on and, at the start of a coffee/yoghurt/cutard cream/order spare bike chains break it went on the line to dry. Only to have to be brought back in 20 minutes later due to a heavy rain shower.

Hey, I mentioned I put my black bag and green wheelie bin out earlier. Someone's not been paying attention...
"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.

Never mind your trivial "Brexit spreadsheets" @YukonBoy: We need a world beating spreadsheet that deals with important things like bin collection on CC.

Morning.
It is dry here at the moment with clear sky, although there are some clouds to the south .
There are no bins to put out today so I haven't got to rush round collecting whatever has to be put out .

Mild, very blustery, with sunshine and showers here chez Casa Reynard.
I was so knackered after yesterday, so I overslept. Oops. Cue two very hungry cats! Anyways, today is a me-day. I have been working on a writing project and tinkering with the bike build.
I have solved (I think) the chain clearance issue on the smallest sprocket by fitting a washer between the lock ring and the dropout. Next conundrum is to work out how to fit the now-refurbished front derailleur I was kindly given as a freebie onto the seat tube as the clamp is just that little bit too big, and the metal spacers that came with it won't stay put. I predict I will be having some fun with glue and sections of old inner tube...

All we have both been out in our Venga now and the ESP light hasn't come on , so it seems as though fitting a new battery has fixed the problem .

I eventually managed to speak to a human being at Gipsy Hill Brewing today. I'd ordered some beer at the end of August and the delivery didn't arrive. Mid-September I managed to make email contact with someone who resent the beer, which didn't arrive either.
The only way of getting to speak to someone is to deliberately choose the option for the wrong department because nobody answers the right one.
I don't think I'd ever recommend them to anybody unless it was to someone I hold a grudge against.
Oh, and I've had the last of my weekly ONS Covid-19 weekly swab tests today. It's part of a long-duration infection survey. I now move on to monthly ones.
