Slight suggestion of rain but it has not come yet. Shopping day so out early to the coop.
Got the last two packs of apples, some leeks only fit for compost and the last two half dozen boxes of tiny eggs sprinkled with gold dust going by the price. Nearly forgot, a savoy cabbage obviously nobody wants and some carrots.The latter two things along with the worst of the leeks can make soup.
They should pay me to shop there. If I could get on a ferry I would be off to Oban where there is a choice of shops and so competition for customers. Ferries blocked by tourists who boast they booked last December.
At least I still grow my own potatoes which look good.
Not a cheerful morning so far. Wonder if I can get booked for a haircut?

First booking I can get for a haircut is nearly a fortnight as they are so busy. Why can they not all get their hair done before they come here?
Declined the booking as too far ahead. I hope to go to Oban area for a few days soon and get my usual barber even if it means a 90 mile trip each way by a roundabout route.

Morning! I'm having a slow start. I'm still on the tea. M$ has sent me to Tel Aviv again after a brief message saying they're having trouble with my feed. 32C in Holon, which I gather is somewhere near or in Tel Aviv.

Been watching the rugby 7`s. GB struggled but got through to semis. No rain yet but it`s on the way I think!
Was going to go for a ride but last minute got a call to pick up the Grandson from college at 1pm so will wait until later and cross the fingers it is dry

I went back to bed for a bit of a nap . Georgie our cat decided to have fuss and finally settled down . I was just about to nod off when he decided to stretch out !
Not sure why I'm so tired, I know I've not had a good night's sleep but I had a nap yesterday afternoon . Blood pressure and pulse a bit low.

I had half an eye on it. Weren't GB down 24 points to 0 early on?* Very topsy-turvy game. The commentator seemed to think that GB got the benefit of bad refereeing decisions but he was immediately taken off line in one of those ''back to the studio'' moments. (My understanding of rugby laws is so sketchy that I'm not able to make my own decision about it.)Been watching the rugby 7`s. GB struggled but got through to semis.

Looks like another storm's moving in. Some quite spectacular flashes just now.

Well, that exploded in size quickly enough.

Some things seem to be going ok today. Very mild with a hint of rain and no wind. Fine midge weather, that should sort the touroid out. We need a touch of rain anyway to water the garden and save me some work doing it by hand.
The pic is one shaw of potatoes just dug.

I watched some of the seven a side Rugby this morning. Not sure why they include wrestling and barging into people, but they all had hugs for each other at the end. I won't mention the teams in case someone hasn't watched it yet.
In other news, I now have a new outside tap. One with a wider spout so that the outside hose stays in place, and I do not get an unexpected shower.

As far as I can tell, my cousin spends her whole day looking for all sorts of ludicrous anti-vax shoot and posting it on Facebook while complaining about all the sheep who fall for all the government propaganda as Covid doesn't exist and is just an excuse to control the people

Overcast, cool and drizzly here chez Casa Reynard.
I did a load of laundry and have spent the rest of the morning writing. Did sleep well, but I still feel so bloody sleepy. Got through last week on adrenaline after my second jab, seems I'm now paying for that.
Have just put the oven on to preheat. Sausage rolls for lunch!
