It has been raining here for most of the day .
I have been drawing and redrawing my plan for my model. I have started cutting out some sheet balsa to make a sandwich construction . It is a complicated shape .

"UK weather: Met Office issues yellow warning for rain as remnants of hurricane approach Britain

Downpours to soak south of England and Wales, forecasters say"

My wife reminded me it's her birthday in a few days. She then suggested we pick a few things up that the kids need and while there: 'Oh look, there's the card shop...', 'While we're next to the perfume shop, I want you to smell this scent I like...', 'There's a handbag in here that I'd love...'

She knows me so well.

Birthday presents and cards bought. Now I just have to remember to wrap and write on them...

Just finished watching Midnight Mass on Netflix Bit of a slow burner gradually builds up but worth persevering with.

I wouldn't write on the present that will probably annoy her.

Had good hunting in Tesco this evening. There wasn't that much on YS in terms of quantity, but some really decent bits to be had.

Came home with salmon, hake, prawns, some steak trimmings off the counter*, cooked sliced chicken, cooked turkey & stuffing, a large tub of coronation chicken, spinach, green beans, mushrooms, baby corn, avocadoes, breakfast cereal, crisps, bread and two bakewell tarts from the bakery.

Best buy was the salmon - paid £2.25 for three quarters of a kilo. Will make gravadlax with some of that.

Also treated myself to some jelly and a mug with cats on it.

I've replaced the knackered headlight switch on my tractor so now I have lights.

It's amazing how pathetically dim pre-halogen headlamps actually were.

The square bales aren't as comfortable as the old fashioned trams/reeks or the newer round bales.
