Grey start to the day with a slight wind.
Not feeling very enthusiastic but may go out about midday for a trike run as traffic is usually lighter on changeover day.
Our library has reopend but only for a while on Saturdays. Apparently I ordered a book which has now turned up so I better go and hand in the books I have had since prepandemic and have a look at it.
The library is now in the school and has a rather juvenile slant for obvious reasons. They also have "popular " fiction which I do not find inspiring. Argyll and Bute library service in general is very much the poor relation in management and literary terms.
Access to a good library was one of the things we missed when we first came here 50 years ago but other aspects of life here make up for the shortcomings.

The mouse has moved on overnight - no sign of it in the garden.

Congratulations

Todays job, is another section of the kitchen floor with this 'paint'. Dries OK in 12 hours if you put a tiny thin layer on it. Might be a few weeks before I'm fully happy. The hallway looks great now it's had it's second coat.

I also ned to fit two new cartridge bearings to my old MTB - It has a STX headset (threaded) and the bearings are hard to get. Found two 'NOS' on ebay for £23 delivered - sounds expensive, but that's roughly what my FS's headset bearings cost. I'll keep the old bearings and get the callipers out and measure them to see if there is a modern equivalent.

Son no 2 had an early finish in his race: he's as recovered from his Covid jab as I thought he was, but not as recovered as he thought he was

Time to put the writing (and a flirty racing driver) away for the night and head off to bedfordshire.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Where do you keep the flirty racing driver?
Must be hard to fold before placing in a drawer.

I've just dispatched a bacon butty. I've also done a load of laundry but, distracted by having to clear the gunge out of the fabric conditioner compartment, forgot to put washing powder in. Oh well, there was nothing particularly mucky in the laundry basket.

Beautiful Daughter is about to start Schhool and in Germany that means she gets a Schultüte. She wants a "cute unicorn" and I've been briefed to draw same.
I'm better at boats than Unicorns but still, I had a go:

Needs work.

(Previous version on the "your picture of the day", then I realised Unicorns probably should have two ears...)

Grey and warm here chez Casa Reynard.

This morning, I have done a load of laundry and got the dough on for a bread. And I've done some writing.

I am feeling a bit more chipper. Have decided to give Tesco a miss tonight, because there is still plenty of stuff in the fridge. The only things I am short of is bread and sweet peppers. I can rectify the first, and can manage without the second.

It is almost lunchtime. I shall listen to the qualifying from Zandvoort.

Happy anniversary to Mr & Mrs @Illaveago

I keep the flirty racing driver in my head. He just has his own little compartment.
