I've never read any AKA Rambling. Is she any good?

I think she's a songwriter, wrote some songs for Bob Dylan back in the late 70's. sort of along the lines of the songs Sam Sheperd and Leonard Cohen were writing at the time. I think her most recent was Why don't you kids get off my lawn and get a job and save your money to become decent and not some useless face on the unemployment line?

Cool, grey and very blustery here chez Casa Reynard.

Spent the morning sorting out the shopping and re-jigging the fridges in the kitchen and utility room. I may have overdosed on coronation chicken, as I have a kilo of it, not half a kilo as I thought. Ooops... Such is the perils of yellow stickering...

Will need to go out to pick up mum's prescription later, but the bike option isn't looking terribly appealing. I have no desire to be blown across the road.

Anyways, it's almost time for luncheon.

I've a PSU that works OK on charging, but if I try to run the laptop while it's plugged in the mouse misbehaves. It no lives in the car just in case I forget the good one.

Just make sure you don't buy a consumer Lenovo. My wife's Lenovo worked OK but the case started to break up around the hinge.

The 430 is a business laptop, not a home one. Most of my laptops have been of that ilk, acquired simply because they're better built.

I love this Vaio though, and was gutted when Sony stopped making them, as I'd have had another in the blink of an eye. It's one of the reasons I've held off replacing it because it's got such a good keyboard and ergonomics.

Another grey, wet, cold & windy start to the morning here in Suffolk, but as going home from work time approaches, the weather has improved to just grey, cold & windy.

Time to put the kettle on again.

Bit breezy, here, but lovely and sunny.

12 mile ride the long way to the Overstone bus stop library where, along with 3 books, a decent pair of sparring gloves the grandson will love!!

My impression was more of the Rambling Syd Rumpo character as portrayed by Kenneth Williams. If that doesn't betray my age nothing will .

Is this in the right section.This morning while Postman and Mrs P were walking to Headingley we came upon a man who had collapsed on the pavement,he was confused and distressed,it turned out over the 45 mins we stayed with him that he had medical problems and was known in the area.Noise triggered a panic attack,the poor soul was so distressed,we stayed till the ambulance came for him. Other people came out of nearby houses and he was cared for by all of us till the paramedics came and took over.

Lovely 18 miles done in the sunshine. There was a little chill in the air that I noticed on the fingers when I got around the 20mph mark. Full finger gloves from now on I think! Peppered Mackerel fillet with wholemeal bread for lunch followed by tea. Probably going to top it up with some yoghurt shortly

 

[Reynard]

Lovely lunch of two slices of wholemeal toast, one with coronation chicken, one with some rather fine squishy brie, plus a pear, a minneola and two

Have a few things to sort in the kitchen, and then at tea time, I shall tootle off to Littleport. Will get some writing done in the mean time.

The sky has cleared over lunch, and now the sun is shining. Still pretty blustery though.

I have just cut my fingernails. I hate it when they get too long.

you're a good man, may you benefit from others' kindnesses as well, some time down the road

It certainly was a case of red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning as it hasn't stopped raining all afternoon

In other news, solicitors charge a lot of money for not bothering to reply to my email
