Mundane News

I thought the delivery trucks had a block booking..

I would have expected them to get priority anyway and yes they almost certainly have a block booking.
No other information was on the post on FB except that the lorry was there and waiting. If Spar it is usually a lorry with a trailer which would take up 2 lorry spaces.
Edit It is the Spar lorry which could not get on a ferry. Tourist cars are much more important.

Off to play golf (crazy verity).

Every round I played was the crazy variety, even though it wasn't supposed to be! I've sold my clubs now but I do have two nice pairs of golf shoes I'd like to sell (size 8. One pair worn about 5 times and the other pair never worn).

My wife has bought me some new socks with cycles on . Not actual cycles but embroidered ones, otherwise they would be a bit difficult putting my jeans on .

Bedroom 1 of 2 painted, well almost. Remedial wall work bled through the paintwork on the walls so it's been a protective paint coat then much more paint. The Velspar gloss paint was useless so it's had to come off and decent gloss on the woodwork so that's still drying. Curtains to go back and that's it.

Bedroom 2 starting tomorrow and I'm off work until Wednesday. With racing Friday evening (me) and Saturday (son no. 2) I'll need to get a shift on.

On, and son no. 2's got himself some work experience next week in a local MP's office. He was offered some in late 2019 - but the MP lost her seat. Then he got the opportunity in 2020 - Covid hit. Now finally he should get some next week, which will help him with his intention of doing a degree in Politics and History at some point.

I'm stewing some apples. I forsee crumbles in my future...

I picked a carrier bag full from the tree at the bottom of my garden. The tree belongs to the neighbour but he died just before Christmas and nothing has been done with his house since. Rumour has it that he only had one relative - a niece who now lives in Australia!

Garden waste bin has been emptied but the recycle bin still sits outside. My black bin is still in the front garden because I put it out too late last week (I put it out at 7.00am and they had been round at 6.30). I left it there to remind me to put it out next week.

A good few crumbles here!

Grey and breezy here chez Casa Reynard.

After an entire morning of furkling, I cannot find said black fleece offcuts. I am now led to suspect that the parental unit may well have "tidied them up" I do have some spare fleece blankets (bought in bulk for Cats Protection) that I could cut up, but they are a rather bright shade of pink.

I do not wish to use them to repair my onesies as I do not want to be walking around with a pink butt like a baboon.

Anyways, I'm off to have some luncheon, and then I shall add to the banter in here.

Mrs C told me we have had a message from the council to say our brown bin won`t be collected this week due to a lack of drivers/covid.
I think it`s usually collected once a month but as we hardly ever use tins, glass bottles and jars or plastic bottles Mrs C thinks we will manage until around November! If food came in old fashioned paper bags and some packaging wasn`t four times bigger than required for the contents all our bins would only need collecting half the time they do now!

You`re not one of those chavs that go to the local shops and do school drop offs in a onesie are you?
And the age old question.... why does a Baboon have a red bottom? No one seems to know for certain. Can you enlighten us

I was always told the red backside was to do with attracting a mate, though I don't know the details and I'm not sure I want to know.
