It's been bright and breezy here chez Casa Reynard.

Today's mystery. How the blazes have I managed to come down with an absolute stinking cold when I've been masking up in public, sanitizing my hands, scrubbing down when I get home... Just so totally flummoxed.

Anyways, I'm sat here with a wad of bog roll stuffed up each nostril to stem the the flood of snot.

All the little viruses gather in clouds, then fall on us in raindrops.

That's on the agenda for me tomorrow. Plus I have four parcels to send.

I will be going to the post office in the next village along at teatime as it tends to be less busy. I have no intention queueing out of the door.

Queues out the door are pretty standard here.

Mild, bright and breezy here chez Casa Reynard.

Have spent the morning gently puttering around in the garden collecting kindling and small wood, as my bins for those are nearly empty. Other than going to the post office later, I plan on having a quiet afternoon, as I'm feeling very bunged and grotty.

Oh, and I forgot to mention I put my green bin and black bag out last night. Plus a box of biscuits and a card each for the green recycling bods and the black bag bods. Both had already been collected when I got up.

Just the postie to sort now.

New washer/drier bought, to be installed Saturday (A Blomberg). We use a local company rather than a big online supplier with two vowels. And I've a stairs/landing carpet to be fitted later.

It'll be an expensive day.

No damage from the old washer hopefully.

EUrOnIcs is only missing one of the six vowel's.

Had a nice toasted pannini with cheddar, mozzarella, pepperoni and chilli sauce for lunch, along with two and a clementine and some cherries.

I'm sure it was here that I got told off for not writing panino when it's singular. Just warning you. You can't be too careful....

Mind, I also once got told off for saying scenarios and not scenarie (?) by a French man. To which I replied "Since when did the French ever pay attention to English plurals?” I got him to try the plural of sandwich*, which he got wrong.

*Which coincidentally brings us back to breads.

I am standing in the naughty corner.I am confessing to you my peers.I have sinned by turning down cake.Our daughter made a cake for Mrs P's dad.He will be 90 next week.Well it got a little bit burnt after having just a few too many mins in the oven.So she made another.Which has turned out better.Well it was a recipe by a football club owner,let's be having you rant.Well for my taste it has far too much fruit in it and too much brandy.Well we have had slice everyday for the past five days,and it gives me a bit of stick indigestion wise.So I have refused some today.How long do I have to stand in the corner.After sinning against rule two eat cake.Rule one being you can never have too many bikes.

I was looking through my photos and decided on my new seasonal avatar.

My problem is that its not just me that can't spell, my computer can't spell either.

It feels chilly in the garage might have to bring the bike in the house later to finish fitting some guards to my new steed

The Tesco Express near the local hospital has had staff volunteer to keep it open over Christmas, for those working in the hospital over Christmas.

Earlier this year they kept it open 24 hours for the hospital workers and the local bus depot.

Probably more to an eye on profit.
