Morning .
Ooh! The sun has just burst through some cloud and lit up the view from our window .
I have got a painful left leg ! It only hurts if I kneel down and try to get up . To describe the pain it would be like putting a walnut behind your knee and using your leg like a pair of nut crackers !

I wonder if I will be able to make the planned bike ride this afternoon .

Dry but showers forecast and a bit windy.
Cannot go out anyway as just noticed 2 carloads arriving early at a house further along the road where the owner is currently away. With 5 extra cars here I probably could not park anywhere near my house when I come back. Not safe to take the trike out either as the roads will be heaving with traffic.
Comments on FB about a popular walk being far too crowded and a rant from somebody in Gairloch who just wishes the whole easter nonsense was over to get back to some semblance of normality. Lots of supporting comments as well.
I would like a holiday house away from here to escape for the summer as it is getting really unpleasant now due to the mass of touroid.

You need to put up signs near the ports warning of Anthrax !

I used the time productively to make a bacon sandwich

Someone has just drove down the street in a pink Jag X-Type covered in body kit

Why, just why do people do things like that

So that nobody would steal it?

Warm and sort of sunny here chez Casa Reynard. My plum and cherry trees are flowering, as are the forget-me-nots.

Slept well, and had a productive morning sorting out all the bits I bought yesterday. New cat litter bin is all set up and filled with litter, new wall clock is hanging in the kitchen (it's a kiddies one to learn to tell the time, but it made me laugh, so why not!), the bog roll stash has been replenished and I've sorted out food for today and tomorrow.

Good Friday and Easter Saturday is always fish / veggie here. Not because mum and I are religious, but because it's tradition. It wouldn't feel right if we didn't. We've also got a nice stash of HCB for later.

Watch is still running well - it's gained a minute over a couple of days, but that's definitely livable with. The clasp is heading for the door though, as I really can't get on with it - it's secure, but fiddly to open and close. I've also noticed that there's some subtle engine turning on the case which catches the light in interesting ways whenever you move your wrist. I have similar engine turning on the locket I wear every day.

Forgot to mention that the postlady left me a card yesterday to say thank you for the jar of marmalade.

Anyways, it's time for luncheon, and I has a hungry.

50 mile ride first thing and 7 mile walk I think I have done enough exercise today.

I believe that anyone who ignores restrictions or advice of this nature when they know full well they are, or are highly likely to be, infectious to others who may become dangerously ill if infected by said disease, and who then deliberately enters into the close company of these same others without their explicit permission, are in reality ignorant, uncaring, selfish b@$t@rd$ with no consideration for their fellow humankind. They are not merely playing on a theatre set.

You do that with a cold?

They've been lying to us for 2 years.

Ah, the joys of owning a Mini...

4.3 gallons per mile. That's definitely an engine under load...

Replacing the radiator grill screws with a couple of bolts & knurled nut?

Lovely Good Friday luncheon of herrings in cream sauce (the ones you buy in the Polish aisle), wholemeal bread & butter, plus a pear, an orange and two
