Bikes and spare wheels (mostly) are into storage so the house is tidier.

Recycling bin eve day

I spent 20 minutes cleaning a 14-28 cassette before fitting it. Not sure who has the least exciting life here

Today I:

Received a pair of work trousers in the post...

...and a duvet.

Shortened, sanded and oiled my Grandad's hammer handle that is probably about 80 years old, so I can refit it to it's 80 year old head tomorrow, and use it again.

Cut my finger on a saw while doing this.

Rode my bike in a figure of eight a few times in the empty workshop hall before leaving.

This counts as a pretty fulfilling day for an introvert.

Cool, breezy and mostly piddling with rain here chez Casa Reynard.

So we've had an "indoor day" which mostly involves one of my favourite activities, i.e. cooking. Veg, potatoes and fish ready to go for tonight's supper, and I'm now in the middle of chutney making. Have just added the sugar, and now I can do nowt till it's cooked right down.

Today's offering is green tomato, red pepper, apple & onion with an insane amount of ginger and chipotle chilli.

Now having a well-earned sit down with a and some pink wafers.

On the subject of roses,a bloke in front of me buying his stuff the other week had a bottle of this.

View attachment 554593

I mentioned to him that it was popular in the early 1980's when i worked in various restaurants and pubs. He said he knew/remembered that and had been buying a bottle a week and had kept all the bottles since then. I thought i was a bit of a hoarder for keeping my old aftershave bottles,but nearly 40 years of old wine bottles....where does he keep them?!

Headache in a bottle.

Black bin day tomorrow.
I've put it outside already as I has a few things to put in the car as well..

The w-lan on my laptop is dancing the hokey cokey.

It does that every now and again, and it's a bit annoying. There is probably some dirt in the switch.

 

[Reynard]

Chutney made and jarred up. It is but also rather

Mind, the heat will mellow as it matures, and by the time it's ready to eat, should merely have a pleasant bite to it.

I have washed up and put the potatoes on to parboil.

Having a 2 year old for a whole day is tiring !
We've played with the Duplo, puzzles, toy cars, play shopping, a trip out in a buggy to look for pumpkins and that was all before lunch .
I had to dig out the electric pedal car this afternoon , he managed to do a bit of steering today . We then played spray Nanny with a water pistol . I eventually nodded off whilst he watched CBeebies. He fell asleep a bit later.

I put a new kitchen roll on the kitchen roll holder thingie this morning.

I hope you had a rest after that. You don't want to over tax yourself!

 

[Reynard]

[Kempstonian]
