The back is better so I`ll be going out for a ride today. I ordered a suspension seat post which came this morning from Tredz. Haven`t a clue if it will work or help but it was a cheap bit of kit so worth a try. Grey and cool out with very little in the way of wind so hopefully I`m in for a pleasant ride.

Somebody on the mainland has posted a picture of their stolen motorhome in the hope it may turn up here and be noticed. There are so many of them I doubt if anybody would and in any case surely the number plate would be changed.
The avalanche of touroid of course brings unwelcome baggage and there are reports of an increase in shoplifting. Somebody has “ borrowed” the Angling Club dinghy and trailer from Loch Assapol tho’ general opinion is that is hundreds of miles away by now.
When we had a shop bus parties had to be carefully watched and we still lost stuff. A friend with a different kind of shop reckoned they shoplifted more than they bought. She reckoned it would be better to close the shop when they came. Little old ladies were the worst.

From everything you say about tourists it`s a wonder anyone would want to visit or live where you are! Sounds like that hell on earth, crime capital of the UK that is Emmerdale. Or is it Coronation street?Somebody on the mainland has posted a picture of their stolen motorhome in the hope it may turn up here and be noticed.

I was asked today the best question I've ever been asked while teaching.
One of my P2s ran up to me, all excited, and asked 'Why do we have toes?'
I had to go and look it up. I just love teaching kids at that age, everything is new and wonderful.

Warm, grey and reasonably still here chez Casa Reynard.
It is Madam Poppy's 12th birthday today, so I have taken some beef fillet out of the freezer for tonight. There *may* be some left for the humans after the girls have had their share.
I got a note dropped through my letterbox from the Highways agency saying my trees are obstructing the road. No, they're not. The problem is an elderberry growing on public land, which I am not obliged to trim back. But I will do it at some point, just to keep the peace. However, I will leave the clippings in situ, because I am a vindictive little bag...
I slept ok-ish, and I am beginning to feel a bit more chipper. My knees feel really wobbly for some odd reason though...
Anyways, it is almost lunchtime.

The main function of your toes is to provide posture and balance, support our body weight, and propulsion during the gait cycle. Not only do your toes help thrust your body forward when you walk, they actually help increase the length of your stride allowing you to run faster.
I did simplify the language somewhat.

Toes are one of many things we don't think about day to day, when our eldest was just a todler we used to get questions like that, "why do buses have wheels, why do houses have chimneys", were two of his.

My mate doesn't have any ! Chopped off unfortunately, with possibly more of his feet to follow. Circulation problems from Type 1 diabetes.
