We have arrived

I hope that isn't a posh euphemism! 😁

Mild, blustery and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I had a lovely walk with my friend and her two dogs this morning. She gave me seven fresh eggs. I bought a mahoosive butternut squash from the vegetable stall in the village.

Jury-rigged power cable is still holding up, although I don't dare move it. Which means any computing is restricted to my desk. It's not so bad, I have some USB-powered fairy lights here - just a little whimsical girly touch.

Anyways, it's almost time for luncheon.

Happy birthday @woodbutchmaster

It has stopped raining and the sky has changed from grey to some weird blue colour

I would hardly call it posh but it's home for the next few days

Cassie asleep on my lap, then a little thunder woke us, followed by a squall, lightning & more thunder. Now Cassie has decided the sofa is more comfortable than my lap.

And so it begins......


The heavens have just opened!
Time for some online shopping I believe. MrsC is after a new coffee table. She was looking at self assembly, pine things but I have convinced her we need to spend a bit more for a good Oak one. The method in my madness is there is no self assembly with the Oak
Oh yes, we also need a new toilet seat as the one that is currently in place has developed a small crack. Not something I want to sit on and get pinched!

Works computer doing yet another Windows update.

Not the 2nd Tuesday! So do IT delay the updates?

Lovely lunch of two slices of wholemeal toast, one with Rillettes de Mans, one with a slice of that smoked German cheese, a pear, a minneola and two

That butternut squash I bought really is mahoosive. I weighed it and it tips the scales at a fraction under 4kg!!! I think a veggie curry might be in the offing later in the week.

You could both have your cake and eat it if you go to an auction. Get something nicely vintage and pay a fraction of the price of new. And chances are, it'll be far better made than a new one.

I have wooden toilet seats. They don't crack, and you don't get that lung-sucking "cold botty" moment in the winter. Please, no wisecracks about splinters...

Edited to add... Or you could go the Philip Serrell route and put a glass top on an old galvanized water tank...

I have no idea but most seem to happen on Mondays.

I suppose they maybe schedule them for the weekend but I shut it down over the weekend.

after several years of consideration I have gifted my office feet, an electric foot warmer

I will concede that I remember times when my feet felt cold in the office.

Ere!
I thought he said he replaced to hall lightbulb?

It's the same old one in there !

To be fair to him, he never once said it was a new bulb or that it was in fact a bulb he replaced it with.

What do you use to carry them into work?

So there is hope for us all!
