We have an orange sky, supposedly because of Saharan sand.

Combined with the lack of traffic it feels slightly apocalyptic. I half expect @classic33 and his chums to ride over the hill and up the high street...

I've never seen HK so quiet as many are staying at home due to the current Omicron outbreak.

However, great for biking as there's little traffic.

31c today. Summer's here, early.

I won't bore you all with my 2 hour dental appointment to get my teeth repaired.

I'm going to drill two holes in a wall soon.

Finished drilling. Now I need to hang some brackets on them.

We had to shampoo our puppy after my walk with her around The Washlands. She was really mucky and smelled of horse Doo-Doo 🐴 💩

The car journey home was with the windows open

A neighbour has fertilised his hedge with same, Cassie tries to eat it as she goes past.

I would love a Kingpin actually but the only one I ever came across locally was rusted through at the chainstays and only fit for scrap. I keep an open eye...

If I rake around in the back of my shed I think I have an old Kingpin but no idea of current condition and cannot think of any easy way of transporting it to Ireland. I could get it as far as Oban but packaging it would be a problem from there onwards.
I have all sorts of bikes and bike stuff but just cannot get round to either selling or dumping.

Beautiful bright, sunny and warm spring day here chez Casa Reynard - as long as you stay out of that brisk breeze.

Did a bit of firewood this morning, and just puttered around gently in general. Some kitchen time will be required this afternoon.

It is almost time for luncheon.

This is another reason why I do not have a dog...

The sky is returning to grey, but there is sand all over all the cars.

I had to stop Bonnie sampling the delights of horse, sheep & goose poo. I don't know why we both wasting money on good food when the meadows are full of free nosh!! 😂

Lovely luncheon of a sandwich with the last of the seafood sticks, plus the last banana, half an avocado and two

It is now overcast here, but I have not looked whether there is sand on the car.

A steam engine just went through Crewe. On the railcam. Always nice to see.

There is a pot of soup simmering away on the hob. A good opportunity to use up some rather tired-looking veg. Have thrown in the last of the roasted squash in as well.

And puddles taste so much better than water from the bowl.

I failed the iron test for my first ever blood donation by 1 point.
