One and a half hours to go, did you get the buttie.

Nope. Managed another 20 mins sans butty then went to bed hungry. Its one of those challenging films where you need a degree of concentration, will give it another go soon when properly fed and watered.

My big toe hurty !
I think it is down to wearing my slippers which had shrunk after I washed them . They were smelling like a couple of dead rats!

How do you know what dead rats smell like?

Still, mild and occasionally sunny, though there is rain forecast for later.

Had a "kitchen day" this morning. I have cut the chips and trimmed the broccoli for tonight's supper, and I shredded half the monster red cabbage that I bought in the village on Friday. The cabbage is now simmering slowly in a big pan along with apple, onion, ginger, cinnamon, clove, star anise and a generous glug of cider. That'll go nicely with tomorrow's dinner plans.

The other half of the cabbage has been wrapped in cling film and popped into the fridge. I'll cook that next week.

I just had an excellent pot of tea. I've been trying a few different brands but after the last packet of Yorkshire Gold, going back to my old standby tastes great. Tesco's ''Original'' leaf tea.

Time to see how coffee tastes....

Yorkshire tea doesn't do it for me. Tesco's "Finest" English Breakfast is the brew of choice here chez Casa Reynard. Although I'll also say that Tesco's "Gold" is also eminently drinkable.

That's one of the reasons I go out, for me it clears mine out along with all the other stuff that seems to get stuck in my bronchial tubes, which then aids my sinuses & stops my own immune system attacking itself.

Ride Sunday ,Certainly helped Feel a bit yucky today Ride planned for tomorrow.👍👍👍

My wife is fed up with a company that she ordered some wool from for knitting a pullover . The first order for some blue wool arrived pink !
My wife sent it back after getting a refund on the postage . Today the replacement order arrived , the right colour but with different thicknesses of wool .

How long have you been sniffing slippers, yours or otherwise.

Waiting for the garage to ring so I can collect the hopefully-repaired car. I'm not good at waiting. Patience is something other people have.

I rode 55 miles this morning in bright sunny and cold conditions, its now clouded over and I've had to bring in the washing in case it rains.

Not long !
Schrodie loves doing it and often burries his head inside them . He sometimes gets carried away and then tries killing them with his back legs .

I wear crocs, not slippers LOL...

Lexi has this obsession with my cycling lycra. Especially when I've just taken it off after coming back from a ride...
