Are you putting on lycra ?

Go and wash your mouth out this moment

A label appeared stuck to our ♻ bin, yesterday.
It was telling us not to put recyclable supermarket bags in the bin, but to return them to the shop for them to process..
And there's me thinking that that was the idea behind reducing bags by recycling them out of the system 😜

A pound of sausages is usually eight sausages.

That makes my weight 1,192 sausages, give or take a chipolata..

I've had 5 parcels, now 7, now not arrive yet that I sent last Monday morning - with buyers already opening claims for non-delivery. 10 have got there that I know of and 8 unknowns.

Work's IT learning systems have been down so mass numbers of e-mails from students. About their class later today.

Work's delivered a bookcase / desk for me to build then use.

And the cat's still not eating so off to the vet's later this afternoon.

Oh and the bike for the smart turbo's not working properly.

Been one of those morning's so far

A better morning;

Four parcels are still missing, but three have arrived.

Work's IT systems are fixed. It would help if the students turned up to their online class, that they're paying for (non-UK students).

Bookcase/desk is still waiting to be built. It'll be a week or so. It's been staring at me so I've moved the large, heavy boxes it came in out of eyeline

Sick cat has made a miraculous recovery from death's door and is back later. Insurance company is arguing over paying the vet's bill as he's not been seen by a vet since 2013: he's not been ill, that's why. A 6kg Manx doesn't get ill or injured; he eats the opposition.

Bike was adjusted, being on the turbo changes it. I'll adjust on the turbo as that's where it's going to live.

I have no objection to people having work done to their houses. Four houses have had work done by the same builder on our street, all within a 50 metres of my house. I am fed up of having a minimum of two vans parked in the bottom of cul-de-sac (i.e. outside my house), a cul-de-sac which is tiny with barely enough room for two cars to pass without said vans, since the first week of March.

On the plus side, I am now a master at reversing, multiple-point turns, driving the car through the narrowest of gaps and generally any type of car parking or positioning manoeuvre.

Sunny, chilly and very breezy here chez Casa Reynard.

Reckon the breeze is down to last night's onions...

The crock pot is locked and loaded with the stack of pork loin steaks I picked up on Saturday, together with cider, onions, apple, sage, garlic and grain mustard. The pack was labelled as a joint, but that's no issue.

I did keep one of the steaks for the girls.

Have also spent some time critiquing the first chunk of a six-part screenplay that I was sent for appraisal. I love the premise and it has a lot of potential I think, but the deluge of random apostrophes is driving me bananas...

I keep a bag in the kitchen that all recyclable plastic bags go in. And then, when it's full, I go and shove the whole shebang in the recycling bin that's in the co-op.

Oddly, Tesco doesn't have a bin for recyclable plastic bags...

Glad the furry one is on the mend. Your description of him made me chuckle.

Anyways, lunch calls. I have a hungry.

I've just spent the afternoon hauling, sawing and chopping firewood. Oh, and I fixed the sawhorse as some of the bolts were working loose. As a result, I've now found another use for the 14mm side of the crank bolt spanner thingy.

Time for a and some biskits, methinks...

Dunno about that, but they sure as hell know how to breed...

Right, it's almost time to feed the cats. And then it will be time to feed me.

The aromas coming from downstairs are mouthwatering... All that's really left for me to do is make some gnocchi with that dollop of leftover mashed potato.
