I will see what the Dear Leader has to say, and then I'm going to indulge in a bike ride before listening to Rapid Vienna v Arsenal at 6.

I got back just as the rain started...

Unfortunately I now need to go shopping.

It's teaching week 3 and I've thrown two students out of my online seminar today for not engaging or responding in anything since we started. They were warned, messaged and still didn't respond.

I'm guessing they simply logged in and hoped that would count as 'attending'. Not with me it doesn't

Whilst walking my grandson through the park he pointed out a bird that had exploded... 💣

I gently explained to him that it was, more than likely, a hungry fox than a spontaneous kaboom

Made it back, lightly soaked.

Bike ride successfully negotiated. Actually, it was lovely out, if a bit chilly - such a nice time to be riding.

Now sat back with a and a chocolate suggestive whilst listening to the Arsenal game on the radio. (well, on the laptop over the interwebs)

Much more likely to be a sparrowhawk to be honest. I get a LOT of avian explosions in the garden - and often seen them happen. It's open season right now, with pigeons drunk on fermenting windfall fruit and berries...

Just got a call from Beautiful Wife requesting some paperwork: apparently the Immigration Office are trying their best to get her a permanent visa in Germany that is independent of her relationship to the rest of us. Because in Germany the state cannot split a family, she's entirely safe at least until the kids are eighteen, but they suggested that on this renewal of her visa they can try and make sure she's safe even if something happens to me after the kids reach 18.
They are using all the flexibility the law allows so I'm trying to send things quickly...

Ah, did you go to see a Cannons quidditch match?

I got a new dishcloth out from the packet under the sink.
MrsPete will marvel at my domestic Godliness when she notices!

She might be less impressed with the state of the previous one as I'd cleaned the coffee machine with it

I can beat that.Cleaned my bike chain with the dishcloth.My Excuse was there are plenty under the sink.Thought she would with my recycling.No chance I will not offend the sensibilities of you all by repeating Mrs p response.Under my breath there’s plenty under the sink.

No ! I didn't know it was on . We did some slow dog walking !

 

[Reynard]

Right, supper's ready... Off to see to my hungry.

 

[Reynard]

Had supper (curry was lush!) and washed up. Now sat listening to the football on the radio and tinkering with my new writing project.

Dart Charge account topped up in readiness for the trips to Brands Hatch for the Formula Ford Festival this weekend.

And I remembered to change the bedding when I got home from work.
