Yes.. See one of my posts from a few days ago re hooligans sitting on them etc!

Around here, they would probably use them as transport to get from the pub

Sounds like a joke, but I know at least 5 people who order a kebab to be delivered from the takeaway next to the club, and then jump in the delivery car to get home. This just seems like one step further

There's a conflagration of robots nearby!

That's a nicely-hazardous obstruction on the pavement for anyone using a mobility aid, or who is vision-impaired ...

Warm and breezy here chez Casa Reynard, and mostly sunny. There is a lot of high-level cloud.

Slept well, but if anyone finds my get-up-and-go, can they please return it.

This morning I have done some writing, given the crystal on my Gradus watch a new lease of life by cleaning it with toothpaste and been troubleshooting the storage heater in the dining room. I've eliminated the fuse in the socket last night, so it's either the thermostat or the element. I'm hoping I can just reset the thermostat. Need to get the front off to do that, but the case screws are fastened tighter than a tight thing, resulting in some barked knuckles. Will spray them with some GT85 and leave till tomorrow.

Errand running this afternoon. Need to go to the agricultural place to find out what's happening with the parts for my mower, and need to take the parental to the quack so she can sort out a few things that I can't do on her behalf.

Anyways, almost time for luncheon.

Hydrangea cuttings have been repotted. They were taken from a cutting that I took from my dad's one over 30 years ago.
My sister has one I grew, as do my two nephews.
Once one of this batch settles down, I'll give the best plant to my daughter.

I have discovered where ratty has made a new hole. There is a loose brick where the extension butts onto the main part of the house, and he / she has managed to chew around the brick and the woodwork and create a 2 inch diameter gap.

Will have to chisel a piece of brick to size and jam that in the hole, and then mortar over it. A trip to Screwfix will be required.

As frustrating as it is, not to mention the damage they leave in their wake, you can't deny they're smart and tenacious little buggers. And fantastic problem-solvers.

I do believe one giant species has been trained to sniff out landmines...

Anyways, off to do some erranding...

After a damp start it turned out a nice day even if a bit cloudy.
Could not get out all morning as I had to wait for a medic to phone and prescribe for a skin problem. Really he just had no time I think to summon me in for a look but hopefully it will work anyway.
Next the pharmacy cannot get an eye gel I need as it is out of stock with their supplier. The pharmacist offered me a substitute which she said was really the same with different packaging. It is what the optician gave me for night time use but I took it anyway. I just do mix and match now with some knowledge gleaned over the years as most of my medication is not immediately available at one time or another.
As you get older sadly medical matters are a larger part of your existence.

Almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.
