I really enjoy a hot squash

Even going way back to school times, I remember we had a drinks vending machine and they switched the orange to being hot in the winter months and I remember thinking it made it taste sort of bitter. Never liked it since.

I have never tried hot squash. Perhaps I should.

Be gone, all of you! Hot squash indeed. Squash cold, tea, coffee hot. It's the natural order of things. 😁

Ferry to Ireland boarded, all checks passed so far.

Son no. 2 needs more practice driving around, not across, double-lane roundabouts as part of him learning to drive. I got him to do A55 j17 to Holyhead - you don't take the racing line through one

Get him to navigate the Boughton Heath/A41 roundabout a few times!

Loose ear update; now reattached. Turned out that, contrary to what they first thought, the lobe was still attached, so despite the complication of a flap of skin forming as it healed, four stitches were enough to fix it.

No ju-jitsu-ing for three weeks though, which should at least allow my ribs to get better... But that's another story.

Lemon is great, orange is hot or cold.

So I was idly looking on the internet & discovered a guy who appears to be a school friend of mine. Lost track of him years ago. Remarkable resemblance when I compared an old photo with a new:

I found an email, but that failed.

Humid, overcast and blustery here chez Casa Reynard.

I mopped the kitchen floor this morning, and did the prep work for tonight's supper. Might drop the cutting deck off the mower this afternoon and see what's going on with the bearings.

It's almost time for lunch.

Today, 13th August, is International Left Handers Day.

Yayyyyy! A day for me!

 

[Reynard]

I don't blame you , what a lower middle class cliche that would be !

And what would you suggest as a more suitable alternative?

"Vindaloo" ?

Even better with honey if you have a cold

Short sunny spells and heavy showers. The leaves are also swirling off the trees.
Some intrepid kayakers set off up Loch Etive and some are playing in the Falls of Lora.
Son’s household now has a “guest” dog which appeared about a month ago completed with bag of toys and a weeks supply of food. A labrador bitch which belongs to a local care home who cannot cope currently with it and covid as some staff have got positive test results.
Son and DIL already have a pollywollydoodle or some such dog who has been
“ doctored” fortunately. Enormous thing and delighted to have a daft playmate who demands such activities as toy throwing and recovery from humans. Barks to give commands.
Certainly not going out anywhere today but hope for better day tomorrow. The main roads here are a madhouse and the weekend will be worse but I have a couple of single track routes which may be possible by trike early in the day without going anywhere by car.

I read that as Left Overs Day!

How about "Putting on the ritz" or is that just crackers ?

That wind is a bit 360 degrees today, even with the loop I did, headwind all the way. Wasn't a quick ride though, too many ruddy walkers, dog walkers, kiddies etc. Who'da thought on a sunny Friday lunch that people would be out in summer term !

That said, an extra 2cm of duck tape mudguard flap has reduced the crud spray significantly.
