Grey, murky and rainy here chez Casa Reynard.

At least I won't need to water the strawberries and the tomatoes.

Had a bit of a kitchen morning, and there is now a veggie chilli simmering away in the crock pot.

My porridge oats come from Lidl.

Land of Nod via Bath and Wooden Hill?

Well, t'other way round, but yeah.

Anyways, time for luncheon.

Not sure who this sign is aimed at. Took it from my car while waiting at the lights at Connel Bridge.
Looks like aimed at motorists but if they follow that they come to a bit beside the airport with a post in the centre to prevent car access or egress.
Cyclists are unlikely to want the airport as no planes from there are likely to carry bikes.
There is another entrance to the airport which also comes to the cyclepath but since I know the area I have never actually looked at any signs. View attachment 604515

Maybe useful if you're picking someone up and giving them a backie?

No porridge or posh fruit for me today...good old fashioned Weetabix and a drizzle of Skinny.co strawberry jam sauce and Alpro almond to wet it. Yummier that it might sound! Undecided whether to have lunch now or risk getting wet out on the bike?

I am caller number three in the queue.

Why would anyone choose Elton John as their music on hold?

Extra report it is now raining.So it looks like a day inside.And I don't feel like cleaning.

Looked at the BBC weather app for my area No rain forecast Watched the weather forecast for East Mids Forecast showers I give up

happy Monday to you all! Pops turns 94 later this week, trying to focus on the good in life, & live in the moment. 1 day at a time. for Pops, that would be 34,310 days ... so far ... hehe. my parents outlived their parents by 20 years, so far. I doubt I'll outlive my parents by 20 years! yikes!

Good for him👍👍👍

Well, it's stopped raining here, and the sun has come out.

Had a lovely lunch of gruyere cheese on toast (2 slices), a peach, a banana and two

I will shortly be heading off to the garage to dismantle some unwanted cardboard boxes and stuff the cut up cardboard in the blue wheelie bin. Then I'll put the bin out for collection as it's bin day here tomorrow.

I suspect it's the usual box ticking exercise: Oban Airport is important therefore there's a sign.

The fact that cyclists don't generally use it probably never occurred to the people planning signs.

37 days to go before Autumn starts!

Oban Airport locally is regarded as a bit of a joke. A grandiose title for an expensive small airstrip. There is a service to Isle of Coll and perhaps Tiree and that is the limit of the commercial flights. Quite a few small private planes and a gliding club as well as a refuelling point for air ambulance if required.
Tiree is mostly served from Glasgow actually.

Oh, shush.
