My work computer is performing yet another Windows update.

And you, no work!

My computer is back up and running again.
I suppose I better do something

Lovely sunny morning but a bank of fog all the way down the Sound of Mull means some ferries are cancelled.
They do not sail in very bad viz due to many yotties not appearing on radar so elfnsafety and all that.
I remember in the days before radar was so common the ferry at Craignure was guided in during fog by a man with a hammer and a tin tray who banged the tray in response to the ferry horn as they worked their way cautiously in to berth. That is not a tall story as I was there at the time and saw this happening.

Happily, no man with a tin tray was necessary when I was on the Craignure ferry 😂

Went out for a ride this morning. A little over 50km. It was glorious

Warm and still here chez Casa Reynard, with occasional sunny intervals.

I have been on my morning slug hunt, re-jigged the fridges in the kitchen and utility room, hand washed my face masks and did some general puttering around.

This afternoon will involve a trip into town in search of some craft supplies, diverting to Tesco on the way home to restock on milk, breakfast cereal, fruit and veg. I may time my trip to coincide with the final reductions in the bakery...

It is almost time for lunch.

Last night I ordered a 40 litre sack of cat litter and a 12 kg sack of Royal Canin cat biscuits from Zooplus. I had a 5% off voucher and some loyalty points that needed using. The latter translated into a pack of cheese treats for the girls and some chicken feet for a friend's dogs.

I have been busy swapping the brake levers over on the Red Feather for the original ones. I had to file out some deep scratches with a needle file and then polished them up . I also put on the red plastic handlebar tape that my daughter got me for Father's Day.
There is a ride planned for this evening .

A couple of pieces at a time, I'd imagine. It's all take-apart-able and re-stack-able.

The horn button on my trike is broke, more expense, until a replacement comes I'll just shout........

Why not use one of those old brass "toot toot" horns with the rubber squeeze bulb in the mean time?
