Part of a trilogy, Once Upon a Time in the West, Duck You Suckers, and Once Upon a Time in America. Sergio Leone liked his trilogies. Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly were also intended to be a trilogy

oh interesting I did not know that!

Warnings are now going out to tourists to stop harassing otters. Convoys of them are trooping along the shore lines and getting as close as possible and frightening them off their feeding areas. I addition somebody found one which appeared to be unwell and tried to get within inches of it to take photographs. Prosecutions are threatened.
There are no passing places along a long stretch of the main road to Iona due to rally traffic parking in them .

Has now been raining here for 15 hours solid. Lots of floodwater and the rain won't stop for a while yet. The typhoon has moved a bit westwards so we'll miss the wind but are getting the main rainbands.

My school was shut early today so I had a half day. Still had to take a lot of work home with me which I'll finish off this weekend.

One more typhoon for Wednesday then, possibly, a third next weekend.

Bit of a late night as I didn't get home until after midnight - Cambridge for Lanterns on the Lake, then the A14 was closed with the diversion going all the way to Ely and back to Newmarket - so doing a lot of catching up.

One of my enduring memories of Japan is watching a car resting on its roof after being blown over slowly spinning around and being propelled by the huge wind.

Really shoud go out & get some food and drink for the weekend. At least the fine drizzle has stopped.

Lidl's honey nut flakes are a very poor substitute for the Kellogs version as a late breakfast/early lunch.

Grey and mild here chez Casa Reynard.

I have spent the morning making a large cauldron of scotch broth with the bones and cooking juices from the lamb shoulder, plus a veritable stack of assorted veggies and barley. Looking forward to tuck in.

Have also done some writing.

Almost time for lunch.

You could've stopped off here for a brew...

Morning.
It is grey and drizzling here.
Our new freezer arrived yesterday. It is black and smaller than our broken and a lot cheaper. Oh and not German !
I will take it easy again today as the fairies visited again yesterday .

Just watch it with a chest freezer as stuff tends to migrate to the bottom and then get abandoned, only to resurface years later in a totally inedible state.

Been there, done that.

Used to have two freezers, one upright, one chest. When the chest freezer went t*ts up, I didn't replace it. It is now used as a storage bin for boxes of cat food.

Just out of curiosity When you say “writing” do you use a pen or pencil on paper or direct to computer?
I have a friend who does all his initial work by ballpoint and then later transfers to computer. I am now tending go do the same.
