Cats fed, bike ready for a crit race this afternoon (my first in 3 years*), son's PC to mend with a probable new hard drive before I head out.

* I entered originally as a joke with my son since he was entered. However ... he's withdrawn as he's Cat 2 and doing a road race instead tomorrow in Derbyshire. My intention's not to be lapped 4 times. 3 times is OK, but 4 might be embarrassing . I'm old enough to be some of the riders grandparent

Its going to be a hot day today , already 27c , tonight we are having a bbq with a few friends . I am making the boeuf haché
mixture with the addition of egg, oatmeal , salt and pepper, smoked paprika, a fresh red chilli and chopped parsley. I forgot to cook an onion dammit. Still everything else is mixed and in the fridge to firm up until tonight. Next job go see my mate who has a delicatessen, wine, and my Ducati shop in order to taste and buy some red vino. Busy,busy, busy

Raining here in Coventry, and I've spent the morning doing the ironing, just got to put it away now.

Half the shift and two coffees down.

Very nice ride in - cloudy, but warm & very little wind and some mist still lying over the fields. No rain yet and I'm hoping it will hold off until after I get home.

Logged in to find 71 emails which is less than I was expecting. Only two of them were of any interest - one of which was one I'd sent to myself as a reminder of things to watch in the run-up to the Le Mans coverage.

I have no recollection of posting on the 2nd thread!

Dry here at the moment Due to pee it down all day according to the BBCweather app. Their sea weed must be wet

M$ tells me it's been raining here since 9.42. I'm just back from a dry walk to the supermarket. They still haven't managed to turn the sky taps on.

After the rigors of yesterdays fishing trip I had a fantastic sleep and long lie in... well it was forecast rain so no way I was getting up early
Had Weetabix for brekkie with Alpro and skinny Maple syrup. Yummy! It`s getting close to lunch no, or at least deciding what is for lunch!
Mrs C and Daughter have gone to the footy so I have to choose my lunch all by myself! Oh dear, how will I cope without Mrs C to advise me

About to have a home made burger for lunch

"Cooler, but not cool", is that a good thing or a bad thing with the weather backing up.

Probably go from about 32 C to 27-29 C. Hurricanes on the coast tend to build a ridge over the central US. This dissipates quickly as autumn approaches, not having the staying power of a midsummer ridge. All pronouncements about the weather are subject to exception, especially in these times.

A walk to Sainsburys to buy Orange juice.I opened a carton by mistake ,that one is for our son who is coming for a visit Tuesday,he has to have his own stuff due to being gluten intolerant.So I had to replace it,I opened it after putting bread in for toast.So my walk then went on to Argos for some ear buds for my new phone,then I fell in to a cafe,had a great long chat with someone I had not seen for ages.So all in all an expensive mistake this morning.

Making Teriyaki for tonight. Feeding 10 of us. Veg, salmon, steak and chicken Teriyaki with an option of beef Chilli. My BIL has been mithering for the recipe, so whilst preparing it today, I've taken pictures and step by step instructions via WhatsApp.

Sister is celiac, so went out this morning to find GF soy and Teriyaki. All foods been prepared on opposite side of kitchen to where the bread is.

Still, humid and drizzly here chez Casa Reynard.

Have re-jigged the fridges in the kitchen and utility room in preparation of tonight's trip to Tesco, done a load of laundry and applied more WD40 to the mower cutting deck. The WD40 is definitely getting to where it's needed, as the blades are rotating much more freely. The one that was stuck now turns, but it groans and squeaks like a haunted house.

Need to get back to one Bay of E seller as I only got sent one pack of mount card, and not the two I ordered.

Anyways, it's nearly time for lunch.
