Mundane News

[Illaveago]

It's raining now. If it continues I think I will wash my car .

In other news. I found that Georgie has a cut on his inner thigh . It's not bleeding but he has been washing it and the area is bald . We are keeping an eye on him .

Oh no ! It's the omniumnumnumnum!
Who keeps track of all that's going on ?

The men's omnium was won by Walls yesterday, the women's is on Sunday. What we have now is the women's Madison.

I think they called it an omniumnumnumnum just now. Either that or I miss heard it . Whatever it's called I don't like it's it is too confusing ! . Need a few riders going in the opposite direction to liven it up a bit .

They've slimmed the omnium down for the Olympics so that it's now effectively a one day event. That Madison was some of the most brilliant riding I've ever seen from Kenny and Archibald. Gold.

Old age must be really getting to me.
My photo project on FB is going well and I am now in regular correspondence with somebody who must be about the same age as myself.
The problem is that while he clearly knows me I have no idea who he is.
There are two others I used to know with the name he uses but both have been dead for some years. Hardly likely to be somebody using the internet from the afterlife.

@oldwheels - could it be that he's mixed you up with someone else? Or that they were so uninspiring years ago you've simply blanked them from your memory?

It's dry here but still really overcast and thundery and I have a headache.

I received an email from a courier company this morning that the parcel that they delivered on Wednesday and I signed for is sent out for delivery today and will be with me shortly

I think I may have sussed him out. He uses the name Iain which is a gaelic version of John and looking at his other posts he refers to a great grandfather with the same surname who lived in what was the family house for several generations.
He could not possibly in a relatively small community mix me up with anyone else and the last 50 years here were certainly not uninspiring. I lived a much fuller and varied life here that would be likely on the mainland. We missed access to a swimming pool and a decent library but there were compensations.

Another storm rolling in it appears.

Cool, blustery and showery here chez Casa Reynard.

I have spent the morning writing and watching coverage from Tokyo.

It is almost time for lunch.

 

[carpiste]

On and off rain all day. Wind is gusty and no way was I cycling today. Might get on the exercise bike later and watch a movie at the same time on the pc. Mrs C has been getting under my feet cleaning She seems to think that if we can`t get out it makes sense to do household chores!

I read walnuts are good for us, easier to digest than peanuts. but so bland

I dunno, the walnuts I forage from the hedgerows are always very tasty.

Picked up 25 kilos last year. Not a good year this year unfortunately, I'll be lucky to get 5 kilos, I reckon...
