You'll never find the pot of gold if you keep doing that...

Morning .
I can't remember the Bee Gees doing Gove Dancing ?

Car taken to the garage to find out (and hopefully fix) the loss of power issue. I'm hopeful it'll be a cheap fix, but I'm not that naive.

Yesterday may have been dull but Cassie got a 3.5 mile walk with the family. Not great for view though.

I'm having a 5 minute break . I've finished off the washing up and put one load of washing on the line . Another load is going round and round at the moment . I might have a go at driving the vacuum cleaner.

The last word I looked up on the translator was "Plumber". The current one is "drain".

A pattern emerges...

Shop manager just corrected my German grammar on a list i was writing.

I told him that's the consequence of hiring migrant labour...

I've now been on the phone to the council for 1h 2m and I still haven't reached the department I need. I wait, I speak to someone, they transfer the call, and repeat. The same depressing music playing is not helping.

Eventually got through. I'm now waiting for an email from the council...

Another blazing hot day but when I got up at 7 o'clock it was down to 8C.
After my Victor M rant yesterday all the incompetent drivers ganged up and were waiting on me this morning. Too many to go into boring detail but common sense has clearly gone out of fashion.
Got a short run on the trike tho' after I got past the nut cases. Nice to sit in the sun looking for new birds on the loch. The advantage of the trike is you just find a nice off road bit and sit there.
Stopped at the pharmacy and two of my routine meds are out of stock. Fortunately I never let my own stock levels get too low

Cool, grey and drizzly here chez Casa Reynard.

I overslept again. Had a rough night, but then it's hard to sleep with a cat who insists on perching on your head.

Anyways, I have spent the morning doing the prep work for tonight's supper (my culinary odyssey is taking me back to Mexico) and doing some writing. Tried to watch Bargain Hunt, but turned it off as it was a repeat and I remembered the items the teams bought.

It is almost time for luncheon.

Today is going well.
Looks like this afternoon will be me , the cat and the decorator as swmbo is being taken out by junior Biggs

They came at 9am this morning. By eleven, it was level with the ground but it took another two hours to get rid of the stump and roots. It was a thirty foot cherry tree that died last year due to a wicked fungus. The rings on one of the logs showed that it was forty-five years old and we had watched and enjoyed it for thirty five years of its life. The garden looks like a friend with a knocked out front tooth. I miss it.
