Grey overcast day but not raining and not a breath of wind.
Feel completely knackered so having a rest day.
Did go and dig up the last of my potatoes and got a large bucketful from 3 shaws which I will give to the guy who cuts my grass in return for a donation of petrol for his mower. He also cuts the verges on the other side of the street where our cars are parked.
Paid another bill for the flat renovation in Aberdeen which has been ongoing for the last couple of years. One day it may actually get finished, hopefully fairly soon. Not sure what is going to happen to it after that as it is really my younger son's property now. Sell or rent?
Paying by direct transfer from Virgin Money which has taken over the Clydesdale Bank is a bit of a faff and needs my Macbook as well as mobile phone. The phone keys are too small to do it confidently which is why I use the Macbook but you have to log in on the phone and Macbook and at the end confirm payment on the phone. I suppose it may add some security.

Mild, occasionally showery and VERY blustery here chez Casa Reynard.
I have spent the morning doing paperwork and then printing stuff (did it before the rain came, as the printer is in the utility room behind the garage), plus I sorted out the fruit I foraged yesterday.
This afternoon, I shall cook the kale I bought, and peel, core and cook the quince pears, as they are damaged and will not keep.
Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.

Sadly this year has been a no cycling year October 2020 was my last ride,this stupid hydrocele and the blokes instructions of no exercise.So I have just cleaned and polished an already clean bike,wrapped it up and said goodnight see you in springtime if the nhs operate on me.It's been a rotten cycling year.I have tried the bus to get to places but it's not worth the hassle.Got to say I have had some dark days because of it.

Have you thought about some gentle cycling - if it doesn't give you pain, I'd do it. Having suffered some issues down there for a few years myself.

Been hearing lately about tension between Taiwan and China. Son is just back from Taiwan and says it is all media hype and happens every year at Taiwan National Day.
The problems with getting and fitting new smoke alarms has also been taken out of my hands. DIL's brother is a spark and knows all the regulations and can get the whole system at trade prices. Saves me a lot of hassle.😄

I've apparently won a prize in a radio web competition, but I don't know what it is yet. The suspense ... 
Previously I've won a car, holidays, cash, £5k of women's clothes
, and a trip to Dublin to be rubbed down in Croke Park half-time in the gaelic final by scantily clad ladies (SWMBO said "NO!" to that one 
) amongst other things.
I'll have to wait and see! Knowing my current circumstances it'll be a tin of pet food
(Edit: I did win 3 months of cat food last winter, so that's not impossible)

The two quinces and some apples are stewing with spices and dried fruit. That'll go with custard, later.
Also prepped some of the kale that I bought yesterday. I sort of rather fancy some bubble & squeak drenched in dripping and bacon lardons.

This afternoon I successfully intercepted my delivery driver on the street and showed him where I lived. His last attempt was a complete failure and I had to take the car and a trolley half a mile up the road to collect.
