Mundane News

The weather here in HK is so bad that the schools are shut, shops are shut and public transport is not running.

A massive storm and how much more water can fall out of the sky?

Yes remember summers like that HK (and a few typhoons)

They're predicting up to 6 this year.

Wether they hit us directly is another question.

Mild, grey and murky here chez Casa Reynard.

It rained a lot overnight, and everything is distinctly squelchy. I spent the morning de-slugging the garden (I stab holes though the little bastards) and adding more support to my tomato plants. That's where I found a few more slugs, so they are now ex-slugs.

It is almost time for lunch.

Am thinking about some bike time this afternoon, but my get-up-and-go has gotten up and buggered off.

I've got a right soggy left arm, Kizzy decided I needed a wash so has been licking me for ages along with the odd 'nibble' too.............she is a pest

Ah, yes. I have one of those, too.

It wasn't much better visually! One person got into the lead and stayed there! How you make that sound interesting on the radio I don't know?
Might be the same thing next week unless something changes .

Well, Jack Nicholls is like a toned down version of Muddy Talker, so he's entertaining regardless of what's actually going on. Jolyon Palmer is a much better commentator than his dad, and they you've also got Jennie Gow and Andrew Benson.

Overcast, warm, and light winds. Just been for a off road ride, no clicks from the left pedal, whooo. Silence ! Less folks out today, they obviously are only solar powered.

Tomorrow is going to be stupidly hot then absolutely kersplüschen it down from about 21:00, while Thor is going to have a party over our village.

That's a rather loose translation but it gives you an idea. I just hope the heavy stuff sticks to the schedule so I can get home unscathed.

In other news, I appear to have left my bike lock in the Xtracycle, which is about 300k away now.

Stupidly hot at the moment, skies blue, clouds absent, about to get my clobber together and leave.

Emergency replacement lock bought from DIY big box store which happens to be across the road from work.

As an added bonus the store has flags so I always know which way the wind is blowing and they're pointing south, which is the direction I need to go.

Looks gloomy out there, undecided on a short utility ride now, but completely decided on a cheese and pickled onion sandwich with a cup of tea

Lunch negotiated - a bit of a bitsas, but tasty nonetheless. Had thought of some bike time this afternoon, but it's raining again.

Hey ho, sitting and watching the cycling it is, then...

 

[Reynard]

Oh, and this is the locket I ended up buying.

All worked out so far. I'm getting some water down me, then it's time to zip to Lidl and back before the heavens open...

Well, that was an OMG OG!

The blackbird that lives in a silver birch tree at the bottom of my garden is singing its little head off!

My phone is 9% charged and complaining about it.
