Warm and sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I spent the morning moving firewood from outside and into the garage. It's getting to that time of year, although I haven't had the fire on yet. Two storage heaters and the odd hot water bottle has been plenty.

Also had a visitor today - first chez Casa Reynard for ages. Lovely old chap who is a semi-retired molecatcher. He always used to stop here on his round for a brew and pit stop, and it was good to see him again after nearly two years. He's 88 and doesn't want to retire completely, as he says he'd get bored sitting around doing nowt.

This afternoon, a bicycular bimble is in order. I need to drop off a roll of black bin bags at a friend's place. They haven't delivered our yearly supply yet, and I've got loads knocking around because I might only put 8 black bags out for collection a year. Might pootle further along the Hythe and see if there are any good blackberries to be had.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

Itching to get back on my bike's
Location

Nice tandem ride to and along Prestatyn promenade just completed .
 
Four miles on Wiggy #2, the Chartres, completed. It's about as far as I can manage. Been off the bike since having my second Covid jab as I've been struggling with fatigue and interrupted sleep since. Didn't go for blackberries in the end, but stopped by at the veg stall in the village and bought some onions.

Was good to get out though, even if my leg warmers did a Norah Batty on me... :whistle:

Going to have to do little and often to get my fitness back.

Anyways, time for a :cuppa:

Great excitement in Shetland.
A Monarch butterfly has appeared and been much photographed.
Doesn't sound much but they migrate annually from Canada to Mexico. At least there they have somewhere to stop at night if required tho" I do not think they generally stop till they reach Mexico. This one is a bit off course but has come across the Atlantic.
It was spotted in a hotel garden but I don't think that is of any significance:rolleyes:
On our last visit to Shetland there were a great number of butterflies inbound from France so all sorts of things can be seen there but nowhere else in the UK.
 
Right, it's almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

They are lovely little animals. I have seen one for years. I picked one up once , it was crossing a road, I stopped my car ,got out and put it in a verge. I bet it was cussing as I probably put it back where it came from . :wacko:

I hope it took a PCR on arrival.
