Had a change to our route today.

I get the "come on slowcoach" look quite a lot.

I am. Time to look out the snorkel and flippers for this evening's ride.

Sunny and still here chez Casa Reynard, although I have yet to discern the level of the outside temperatures.

Slept OK-ish, but still feeling a bit zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZ. All I have done this morning is watch the snooker. Oh, and the Formula E from Monaco is on at lunchtime - 2pm race start, live on Channel 4.

Missed out on a lovely Seiko automatic on the Bay of E, mainly because I am being sensible and sticking to a budget based on past sales of similar items. It is far too easy to get caught up in a bidding war, and I prefer to keep my powder dry for another day.

But in other news, the seller who gave me a refund previous week because he couldn't find the item I bought has now found it, and is sending it to me FOC. There are some good people out there. Might reciprocate with a jar of marmalade.

Time for another

Oh, and I have to take the parental unit for her covid booster this afternoon. Taxi!!!

Odd it's for the one County though. As though it'll remain stationary.
Heatwave expected next week.

I'm only 800 miles away or so as the Amtrak goes. I'll pick up a clean pair of pliers and a fifth of Kilbeggan and the 300 to Chicago, then the Lake Shore Limited. May be tomorrow or so, but faster than 6 weeks. Oh, wait a minute, I have to be at the co-op tomorrow, and mass on Sunday. And work. May be six weeks or so before I can get there. GWS.

hehe thank you. I'm good

This one has an English accent.

I didn't feel bad about coming in to work first thing when it was cold and the skies were grey, but as it now looks to be a lovely sunny day I want to be outside. Anybody want to do the last couple of hours of my shift?

 

[PeteXXX]

. Anybody want to do the last couple of hours of my shift?

And that's a No from me! 😂

 

[Andy in Germany]

Half day shift ending in two minutes... I had to be here as "support" so I mostly did admin for the bike workshop...

 

[Bonefish Blues]

The church kissing gate surround seems to have been pushed, probably by a horse and needs resetting.

Getting wetter now with heavier rain. The gardeners will be pleased tho' and they are having an early Flower Show today in the local hall to make up for the ones in the last couple of years having to be cancelled.
The local cottage hospital is appealing desperately for places for nurses to stay. There are a few wanting to come and they are short staffed but none can come with no accommodation. The holiday homes are making a bomb from touroid so who cares about those who actually live here or want to come to work here doing something useful.😠
There is a large new housing development planned but gloomy forecasters say it will all be snapped up for holiday rentals apart from a few which have to be "affordable" to please the planning authorities.
Do I seem cynical?

Heatwave expected next week.

Met Eireann seem to enjoy issuing weather warnings for every gentle breeze, every drop of rain, every time the temperature drops to - 0.00000001C and every flake of snow.

When I was young we called it weather and just got on with it.

 

[Reynard]

Sausage rolls, and Formula E.

 

[Grant Fondo]

So glad I got back into the snooker, these semi's are fantastic
