B****y modern technology !
Our carbon monotony detector is bleeping ! It has a 5 year guarantee which has just run out . The bleep is pointing to the lithium battery low . The unit is powered by the house electrics so I wouldn't have thought that it would have been used much. The good news is that you can't replace the battery so it will have to be a new unit . .

Absolutely chucking it down today and windy.

We finally have some sunshine. It was absolutely tipping down a little while ago .

Mild, blustery and very soggy here chez Casa Reynard.

I am currently listening to the F1 qualifying from Imola. Nice to get back there, it's a circuit that usually throws up a good race.

Spent the morning making grape and quince jelly. It's set like concrete, you can slice it. Should be good on hot buttered toast. Plan on having a nice quiet afternoon. There may be some watching of men in tight shorts playing with funny-shaped balls, but I will also see what the Dear Leader has to say at tea time.

There is a shed (class 66 loco) parked outside my bedroom window. It's been there since I got up. Not entirely sure what's going on, but it does involve temporary traffic lights and a lot of men in orange and reflectives.

Loco has name plate "Lest We Forget" on it.

Maybe you need to be a little less boring?🙉🙈🙊

It has stopped raining.

The shed is still outside my bedroom window.

Just finished reading No place like home by Steven Primrose Smith. Bloody marvellous. It leaves you feeling that anyone can do it and to look outside their own small bubble in life wether good or bad. Highly recommended if some of you haven't read it.

Is Borris having his tea ?

 

[Reynard]

Never mind the Dear Leader...

I have a and TWO milk chocolate suggestives.

Hope she's not lost in the hordes of people who have been panic buying again...

According to a friend who lives a couple of villages along, it's been completely bonkers in Ely today, with queues outside every supermarket and people buying gazillions of bog rolls.

I'm sitting pretty, as I'm very well stocked up on just about everything. So I'm watching the rugby and letting everyone else scrum over the last can of baked beans in Ely.

Surely, that should read, “you, have wandered off, and got yourself lost, in Tesco, and, Mrs Pete will be very annoyed with you, when she finds you” ?

On purpose or unintentionally?

Son no. 2 did a Zwift race. In making sure he wasn't DQ'd for too much power (a B race) he backed off and came 12th.
