Morning all! I'm sitting in a very sunny Southwark Park.That's 2 mornings in a row that I've gone for a walk. All very unusual for me.

I see that @oldwheels is on a PLANE.

Thanks for the reminder by the way - I must charge my Chromebook so I can watch it on the ITV player at work.

I see that @oldwheels is on a PLANE.

I think he is just confused. You get that way when nearly senile.

Nice run this morning which I seem to have posted somewhere else.
Passed a couple of ancient cyclists. Since I am more ancient than them I can say that with confidence.

The extremism lies in asking for proof of vaccination, when the vaccine doesn't prevent transmission.

that's not true. (before the Delta variant) Studies show that vaccines reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 by more than 80%

the vaccination is important to fighting the pandemic. anything anyone can do to get more ppl vaccinated is good for all of us. they are requiring it to help reduce the pandemic in general. to help motivate ppl to get vaccinated. want to play in NYC? get vaccinated. you don't? go to texass or florida

and the extremism lies with the individual. there is no excuse for violence against each other, not in a civil society. you don't like the rules? start your own restaurant & make your own rules

I don't like your rules, so I get to beat you up? um no, sorry

& the ppl perpetuating the violence are indeed republican politicians because they fear their voters, instead of fearing the virus. don't they know there are more sensible ppl than there are nuts? if they do the right thing the reasonable ppl will vote for them. why do they care if a minority of ppl want to believe bullish*t? who wants those nuts votes anyway?

Warm, light breeze and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept like a log-and overslept massively. I only rolled out of bed a couple of hours ago. Oops. But I do feel much the better for it.

Have been thinking about the present dilemma - I have been given some good advice in the thread I started. In other words, sod the bling and get him something useful - but quality.

Anyways, it's almost time for lunch, and then I'm off to Tesco. I found out when they clear the meat & fish counters (it's a temporary thing due to supply issues), and I fancy a recce.

It`s been a lovely day here in sunny Manchester. Had a pleasant ride around sale and Chorlton Marinas and a scoot along the Mersey. Lunch was a homemade Leek and tomato soup with a couple of slices of Hovis grain bread and Greek Yoghurt.
I`m considering having a beer and Whisky tonight in the garden with the fire pit going for a little warmth and ambience

Tesco yellow sticker recce duly negotiated. I think I did rather well.

I have a whole shoulder of lamb, a pork leg joint, pork belly strips, sausages, salmon, brill, hake, smoked haddock and prawns. And a pack of skirt steak for Mesdames Poppy and Lexi.

Green bins were good today too. Two large boxes of breakfast cereal and 320 PG tips tea bags, all for 1/3 of the price because the boxes were a bit squashed, plus some dented cans of tomatoes and a dented can of tuna.

Fruit & veg was too early (I knew that), but I still picked out spinach, watercress and rhubarb.

Been and gone before any of the other regulars knew I was there. Now relaxing with a well-earned

Oh, and Arsenal won today, so I'm a happy girl.

I've had my big spider plant out tonight, gave the kitchen worktop and window sill where it lives a clean and tidied the plant up a bit, its put on a growth spurt since I gave it a bigger home to live in

Got my PCR test result today, negative.

It's quiet in here today. Almost like being at work (which I am at the moment), but busier!

 

[tyred]

Holiday over, back home again 😢

 

[Reynard]

Supper negotiated. Tomato & basil soup, the leftovers of Thursday's fish & chips plus some coleslaw and random cooked veggies, and then a pain au raisin that was also in need of eating.

Taking lunch into account as well, that's all the leftovers cleared up. Happy me!
