My bowl of root vegetable soup was so hot that I had to carry it to the table like Kwai Chang Caine!

Vestry meeting last night...
Because, after a 10 hour day of sitting in an office chair with a mask on, I needed a couple more hours of sitting in an office chair, with a mask on.

I picked up a few old cycling mags a while back. Am reading the CTC Gazette from Dec 1950 and peopld in the letters page are moaning about speeding, agressive drivers, lack of law enforcement and lenient sentences and a lorry driver who got a £10 fine for knocking a cyclist off his bike (seems a much steeper fine than you would get today for a motoring offence considering people probably only got paid £2 or £3 per week).

Basically absolutely nothing has changed in seventy years...

My internet is running with about as much speed as a twenty stone, chain-smoking asthmatic riding a Raleigh Chopper up an Alpine pass.

The one thing that has changed - 50bps meant they had to slow the typist down. Nowadays it's the extra carp they include that you don't want.

I have just been standing on our driveway.Trying to get a bonfire feel.There is smoke hanging about,but I have not seen any fires in the area.There are some bangs but not one rocket was let off.Oh dear even Bonfire night is not like it was when I was a kid.

Watched some over the back in the new estate. I will say that some of the sparks hit the fences on both sides & they retreated inside the house after lighting. A case of, your garden is smaller than you thought.

I will say I thought today would be foggy, but it's brilliant sunshine.

I prefer "proper" milk too - in this case full fat, but living out in the boonies as I do, I always have a few litres lurking in the cupboard just in case. It proved rather handy earlier in the year when fresh milk was hard to come by.

Lexi rather likes UHT milk too...

Grandparents used to have stera', and UHT brings back memories. I quite like it.

These Protective Bubbles the government talk about. If you were to form too many would you become frothy ?

Mild, still and beautifully sunny here today chez Casa Reynard.

I spent the morning in the wood collecting deadfall. It's great for getting the fire going.

Am about to have lunch, and then this afternoon is marked out for a bike ride.

30 minute queue at the pharmacy, followed by 10 minutes for the bakery. That was my lunch hour gone by the time I got home. The queue's are back.

Wish me luck. I'm out of milk for my hot chocolate, but I've found a tub of chocolate Ovaltine light at the back of a cupboard kept for emergencies. It has a best before date of November 2019 and just need breaking up a bit...

I like my drinking chocolate at full strength I never have it with milk.Same with coffee.

Either that or you would drift away on the breeze.

I hereby declare it to be slob time.

Another week of work done, food & drink shopping for the weekend completed on the way home, showered and now wearing a pair of scruffy fleece joggers and equally scruffy jumper with plans to to as little as possible over the weekend.
