Mundane News

The Minichamps 1/18 scale Blower Bentley's go for quite a bit !

I bet they do... I stay away from the 1:18 stuff as it's out of my price range. The Spark 1:43 Renault RE40 is bad enough...

Post office negotiated, birthday present away on its travels to Milton Keynes.

I now have a and two shortcake biskits.

There are six silver chains in my box of bling. One is broken, one is beaded so no good for pendants, and the remaining four are either too short or too flimsy for my needs. Bother.

Following @fossyant 's slow dry floor antics of the weekend, we're following suit here with a mini house curfew. They're resurfacing the outside hallway from 8pm tonight. Fortuitously, DPD delivered a case of Left Handed Giant stouts this morning and I've a new Walter Presents series lined up. Pizza, beer, box set.

Right, it's almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

I wonder if it could be time to split the Mundane Thread and dub it Reincarnation IV

Not mundane enough

I dead headed some petunias before dinner.

The weather was so poor today I was never going to go out on the bike
I ended up going to the fishing tackle shop.... spent an hour buying bits but they didn`t have some bits I wanted.... so spent another hour in another tackle shop 20 minutes drive away!
Good thing is, it looks like cycling weather for the next 2 days (I hope) and then a fishing trip on Friday.
It`s actually about 5 years since I last fished in the UK! How time flies 🎣

How'd NI go?

Great, for the first bit. Then he was involved in a collision where the road narrowed on a turn and someone hit his bike. The resulting mechanical meant a DNF as they'd bent the rear mech and hanger.

We'll be back for another go when it runs next year.

Better luck next time.

You still in isolation?

You will all be relieved to know that I've finally done the washing.

Is this the same washing you started this morning?

Nope. Basically we had to have a Covid PCR test to go there and submit a Passenger Locator Form for the Irish regulations before we travelled. We needed evidence of the form plus PCR/vaccination to travel, and evidence of the PCR test to go into the care home where my mother-in-law is.

Coming back we didn't need anything, nor do we have to isolate. All of the previous restrictions have been removed.

Given that all we've done is sit in our corner in the Premium lounge on the ferry, stay in the B&B with just two of us, a table at a restaurant both evenings, go to the race and a tiny family meeting (MiL in a care home with distance, FiL in his house and he goes nowhere) we're confident that we've not been near enough anyone all weekend anyway.

As long as you enjoyed yourselves, race incident aside.

Oh, and I got a trophy to pop in my virtual cabinet.

I've been here five years, apparently...
