Took the dog to the vets this morning. He has an abscess on his paw, now being treated with antibiotics. It made me wince when the vet was squeezing the pus out of it - the poor dog was crying. All worth it though, as he's had his medication plus his usual insulin, he's full of life again and has eaten all his dinner. He does look a little comical though with his leg bandaged up in what looks like a kids bandage. At his age and with the diabetes he'll now be prone to infection, unfortunately.

Can think of worse places to get sand

I'm safely chez Casa Reynard rather full of grilled chinese chicken thighs, egg fried rice and spring cabbage with sesame & soy

We left it late, but three points is three points. And the Spuds lost, so even better!

I'm about to pull a nice polish-style rye bread from the oven.

That's breadables sorted until after the weekend as I made a large loaf.

I wasn't born anywhere near Tottenham or Arsenal so I'll stick with my birth team. Spurs have been great entertainment over the years though. I remember a period when they played the first half showing how to score and the second half how to concede. A nightmare for fans but good fun for neutrals. Meanwhile Leeds have been far more entertaining than I dared hope for.

I grew up a stone's throw away from Highbury / Emirates aka Ashburton Grove.

So I'm a ge-noo-ine Gooner

Dad & his brother were Spuds fans, mum and I are Gooners. Did make things, euhm, interesting at times.

Mild chez Casa Reynard, with sunny intervals interspersed by hail showers.

I did not sleep well. A cat deciding to sleep on your head is not conducive to a good night's kip. Ergo Madam Lexi is in the doghouse. When she didn't get the message after I kept moving her, I picked her up, put her on the landing and shut the bedroom door. She was sat there when I woke up, looking very contrite.

Made bread. The dough is currently doing its thing.

And it's almost time for lunch.

If your cat is in the doghouse, where's the dog!

Was such a lovely evening I decided to take a drive to the coast for a walk along the beach and the cliffs, randomly met someone I hadn't seen in over a year, had a long chat, a lovely relaxing evening.

I got held up by a Ferrari 308 on the way home What is the point of buying a Ferrari and then driving it at 25MPH on a perfectly good road?

Anyways and MOTD time.

Rented?

Driving on the M62 to Manchester yesterday a Lambo Aventador was in the outside lane doing 65. Me, I was ahead doing 70 in my Tepee.

Probably rented so had a tracker - but why not do 60 on country roads?

I barbequed some pork ribs for dinner, and am now listening to some overtures by Havergal Brian. Rain finally quit this morning. It has been raining quite steadily since Sunday. My tomatoes, basil, and pepper plants all seem to approve.

Milkman has just arrived on the street.
First stop, the house of another milkman.
