I have an upright freezer. I do know what's in it (more or less) but I've been keeping it well-stocked these last two years.

I have 2 freezers, one front opening in the kitchen and one top loading in a cupboard with good ventilation. The top loader is currently not in use but has to get used if sea fishing when there can be a substantial bulk of mackerel, coalfish and pollack.

Slightly damp overcast day with little wind. Typical weather for here really.
Mystified to see my flag enthusiast neighbour out before heading off to work putting up a Stars and Stripes as well as his usual St Andrews Cross.
Then I remembered today is the big wedding.
Another neighbour is getting married to an American woman who has been living with him for the last year at least. Not sure what is planned but probably chaos for our street will happen anyway.
On FB some tourist is complaining that everybody drives too fast on the roads here. What he really means is that he drives too slow and gets in everybody's way and probably does not use passing places so gets harassed by frustrated drivers.

For the first time in my life, I've just paid contactless using my phone! (I smashed the glass on my old one and it would have cost more than the phone was worth to repair. So I got a new one that supports Near Field Communication. You don't even have to be near a field for it to work!)

How often do you have to pay for new contactlenses?

At Hundred Acre Wood, it is warm now enough to plant a few vegetables.

Feel better than I did last night. Just like a bad head cold really. Hateful being confined to barracks again just as I was starting to get back to normal after my accident. Would love to go out for a walk.

I bought some supermarket sandwiches for lunch today.

I also bought a tub of margarine.

I only ate the sandwiches though.

Mild, grey and soggy here chez Casa Reynard.

Took a long time to drop off last night, but then I slept like a log. And overslept. Ooops. I have done some writing this morning and generally keeping things gentle.

Forgot to say yesterday that I put my green bin out. Not the black bag though, there's nothing in it. Collection day is a day early this week due to the Easter weekend. They were "bin" and gone before mid-morning.

Have learned a lot while looking at watches on the 'bay. That Caravelle is to Bulova what Tudor is to Rolex, and that Kered watches are a "thing". I will have to try and find a Kered watch just for laughs... My Gradus should turn up either today or tomorrow - looking at how much they sell for, it *may* have been a good buy. Assuming it works well, that is. There's always the chance I've bought a lemon.

Anyways, it's almost time for luncheon.

I've just eaten lunch, I'm a bit tired after the last few weeks and it's suddenly T-shirt weather locally.

I'm going to be very lucky not to fall asleep this afternoon.

Just checked the local BBC weather forecast cloudy with a gentle breeze

It is and has been heavy showers off and on all morning.

Time they renewed their sea weed

Yeah, that makes sense

I have a chest freezer as well, but it broke a few years ago over the Xmas hols (that was fun, taking all that lot to the tip...), and now gets used as a cupboard for cat food. I chose not to replace it as an additional freezer, because it was just an invitation to buy too much when yellow stickering.

My old Tom used to bite my beard .

The friend I go walking with had this problem a while ago that several of her cats kept on chewing her hair. And then she realized that they liked the flavour of the coconut shampoo and conditioner she was using.

She changed to a different shampoo and bingo, disappointed cats...
