Overcast and blustery here chez Casa Reynard, and it rained heavily overnight. More rain forecast for this afternoon.

My green wheelie bin hasn't been emptied yet.

But my new laptop power pack / charger thingy has arrived however, as has the locket I bought on the 'bay. Had a chat with the postie - really gutted to find out that he's being moved to a new round later this month. He's been doing this round for about seven years. Madam Lexi will be upset, as she usually waits for him on the window ledge for fusses.

Did nip out into the garden to pick some bramleys. There's apple crumble and custard on the agenda for later.

I can hardly hear through my off-side ear.
I think I might have an infection in it.. Maybe I'll attempt to contact the doctors tomorrow morning if it's still not working properly.

What instructions do you need ? Put pointy end on paper !

More like turn one way to lengthen the lead, turn t'other way to retract it, pull top off to refill...

Very breezy here but the sun keeps popping out through the clouds .
I can feel a good walk coming up

Anyways, it's time for luncheon. Off downstairs I go.

Deluge of rain with flooded roads this morning - just at commute time. I wouldn't even drive in those conditions, so it was on with the waterproofs and bike to work with the only concession being that I only did half of the normal mileage in. Other than that, it's been a routine, boring morning at work staring at a computer screen and drinking coffee.

Don‘t forget to mute. Then do something more interesting instead

Wax? The drops with sodium bicarbonate worked wonders for me and cleared the wax with no syringing required. Still better to get it checked out by somebody.

Two slices of wholemeal toast for lunch, one with the last of the Rilettes, one with Gruyere, plus a pear, a minneola and two

My green bin still hasn't been emptied. On the plus side, it's not been blown away either.

It seems to be t'other side of my tympanic membrane. I've tried ear drops, to no effect.
I might have to call Daktari in the morning.

Well, two out my three mile walk, this morning, was in ☀
Then ☔ for the last mile.

There is a bumper crop of walnuts this year and we have five very large mature trees all producing them like there's no tomorrow. I have collected bucket loads of them and the challenge now is to find enough space for them to dry out in one single layer. Also they will have to be hidden from my hounds or the dogs will crack them open and eat the nut which will make the foolish animals as sick as a 🐕

I know of one Walnut tree near my house but, sadly, it is behind big spiky fences, now, due to the old stately pile being developed. 😔

Daktari! That takes me back, I watched that as a kid. Can't remember the specific details though.
