The Gipsy Hill saga latest. Abject apologies, refund on the way, a free 24 beer case of new brews plus the initial order to be personally delivered by the head of the warehouse this afternoon. This means I can explain to him how to package beers and how GH might become more customer oriented. You know the kind of stuff - phone lines that at least give you a chance to leave a message when they don't answer, people who don't respond to emails. It also means I'll have to rearrange my afternoon for the 4th time for them.

Oh, and the door entry system isn't working and the water's just gone off. Just a normal day here these days....

We just had a young Goldfinch sat at the bottom of the bird seed feeder. It was swinging away in the wind not bothering to fly off to find food elsewhere when it had plenty where it was . I think a Woodpigeon finally scared it off . I think it was a youngster as it's red head hadn't fully developed and was orange in colour .

I didn't know that they bred up to 3 times a year and it's months since daddy goldfinch sang on this manor.

edit: I mean I didn't know until I looked it up just now....

We've just been to Aldi.

Ginger nuts are one of those things which should be erased from the universe as an insult to taste buds along with Salad Cream, Mayonaise and Tennent's Lager

It's a while since I had one, but they are great for dunking.

Fortunately not.

Walnut whips are

They have chocolate, that means they cannot possibly be

It's raining. Again.

I've been pumping out the hole at the bottom of the garden since last week. It gets tedious.

Oh, for a surfeit of the sloshy! Still no water here.

Mind, I got refunded for my beer an hour ago....

Thought you said goldfish for a minute. Could do here, with the amount of rain. Sky looking like more on the way.

Can peeps on here remind me of the date of Black Friday please? I avoid it absolutely, and prefer "Buy Nothing Day". I hasten to add there are a lot of days when buy nothing. Big River have Prim days next week, but only once in the last two years have I bought anything from there.

Bored with cranes, they've now got a monster What-The-Forklift truck over the road.

Mild, breezy and soggy here chez Casa Reynard.

Not much a girl can do when it's piddling it down, so spent the morning in the garage tinkering with the bike. And *IF* I can sort out the RD cable tension after lunch, I *MAY* have a working bicycle in fairly short order...

The chocolate they use for them is yukkitty, and the whole thing is just simply far too sweet...

Watched a few of them along with the Willhire 24 hour as well.

Then you may well have seen a short female photographer strutting her stuff around the circuit. The Willhires were a little bit before my time on the fenceline (well, I was a schoolgirl back in those days) but I did recently snaffle the programmes from 1990 and 1991 on the Bay of E.

Last Friday of November usually.
