Warm and bright here chez Casa Reynard. A lot of high level cloud, but the sun is cutting through it.

Another screwy night's sleep (oh, you blokes don't know what it's like being a woman approaching a certain time of life) and ergo I feel rather tired and grumpy. Anyway, I have spent the morning writing. I wasn't terribly happy with yesterday's output, so I've redone that and it looks a lot better with the changes.

Might tackle that large ash branch this afternoon. It's too big for me to just drag in, so I'm going to have to saw it up in situ first.

It is just about time for luncheon.

Oh dear god.

Though shalt remove the title 'Ming the Merciless'.

Shaun the sandal wearer, is more suitable ! Lederhosen next ?

Cycling sandals are superb!

I've just bought a vacuum cleaner. It's actually a Hoover.

maybe the single blokes don't ... Wifey is well past that, but she's still the hot one (every pun intended) but seriously, she loves the weight of a down comforter, even in summer months, with the A/C on, no less! but during the winter, she's kicking those covers off & opening the bedroom window!

Already done. I’ll do a test ride tomorrow and report back!

Can peeps remember riding at night in the 60's and 70's with battery powered lights ?

It was a bit like holding a seance whilst cycling as you didn't know what was going to suddenly turn up !

yes! we had all kinds of lame battery operated lights back then. but the magic was the generator powered front & even a tail light or two? messing w/ those was great fun! I also liked these things

Some lederhosen were donated to the shop today, which I can understand; if I had some Lederhosen I'd probably try and "donate" them too.

Anyways, I had a very fine luncheon. Two slices of wholemeal toast, one with that Polish pork loin, one with St Felicien cheese, plus a pear, half a mango and two

Letting that lot tamp down a bit before going out to haul wood.

Oh, and I've just taken half an antihistamine tablet as my eyes are very itchy and the cats aren't too happy about the loud sneezing.

I used to love some of the mad stuff Emmaus got donated. I had a stuffed badger for a while called Simon and ended up redonating him. Two beautiful silver trays engraved in Arabic with the date 1905 on that I love and loads of odd stuff.

I've a pair of SPD sandals, but they're tucked away for holidays. Barefoot pedalling in the Vendee, France.

But with socks ...
