Mundane News

[Reynard]

Other than cooking supper, I've got everything done for the day.

One task has been deferred till tomorrow: furkling in the utility room for a scrap of fleece fabric left over from making cat toys to patch my two favourite onesies. The fabric has worn through in the small of my back on both of them. Would be a shame to bin either for the sake of a 50p-sized hole - especially since I struggle to find ones that don't have the crotch dangling in the region of my knees...

I currently have a and two jaffa cakes.

Got what I have heard described as a "policeman's knock" at the door a while ago.
My wildlife pal had been out sea fishing and gave me a few nice pollack and some mackerel. Mackerel apparently hard to find just now but if you know how to go about it and are not too afraid of losing gear pollack are easier to find.
House now stinks of fish guts and the detritus has been put in a compost bin in the top garden well away from the house. The "green cone " would have been better but a bit near a neighbours gazebo. Even where the guts are now the stink may spread but they can be shifted.
Normally we would gut the fish at sea but no idea why they did not do this.
They did not invite me as they thought I would not be able to manage on a small boat at sea. The biggest problem would have been getting in and out at the pontoons.
Good job I still have my filleting knives.

Just realised we don't have an 'Actually quite exciting news' thread.

So here will have to do, hope it doesn't over stimulate anyone..

Took delivery of a new (to me) tractor today.

4wd SAME with a decent loader - should make materials handling so much easier than with the old 2wd Ford..

Which I will keep as well, of course.


And it came on a gurt big truck to add to the excitement.

Had a nice chat with the transport guy about state of the world / haulage trade..

So - if you don't see me around for a while ...

Oh yes that is a lovely toy and strangely you're excitement takes me back more years than l care to admit to when as a fourteen or fifteen year old l drove a David Brown tractor/muck spreader combo. in Lincolnshire ( school holidays) and once had a police escort along with the other blokes in our contract hire team through a local town .

Last updated Sep 20 20...

That's almost a year back
Its been a quiet twelve month I s'pose...

I'm in a dilemma now..

I can't post it there - cos it's not 'new news' anymore.

Oh well it'll have to stay here I think.

I do hope that no one was startled out of their gentle topor.



OK I have to download the manual now.

Or I could just spend half a day 'playing' to work out what all the levers do..

As per, all the decals have worn off so you just have to guess, and try not to break anything..

All threads still exist and some refuse to die away!
Satnav? I'm not sure how long it is since she posted..

Last I heard she'd moved to Australia and was posting from there.

Maybe the posts take a long time to get here from there..
