Chicken sandwich and brew watching the Giro

Wall smashing done yesterday (removed the wall for the under stair cupboard) and opened the area up. Now busy emulsioning and glossing. Carpet to be fitted once done, and then MrsF can move her sewing table into the space.

Grey but warm here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept ok-ish, but feel bleurgh. Lady issues. Hey ho... Have spent the morning writing.

The tally is now Lexi 6 - 0 Rats. Madam is definitely earning her lunchtime ham. She and Poppy are currently having a Mexican standoff near a new hole in the hallway. I need to go to Screwfix later as I don't have the right materials to fix up that one. It's downright crazy what the little devils can actually chew through.

It is almost time for luncheon.

I don't eat them that often to be fair, but I always have a couple lurking in the cupboard for when I want a hot snack that requires very little effort on my part to prepare.

Some of the flavours are much nicer than others, even though they're not exactly Cordon Bleu food.

The korma one tasted like wet cardboard.

yep there is a trick to making them a bit nicer though, when it says 'leave for 5 minutes' ignore that and leave for 15-20 minutes then the noodles will be slightly softer and the sauce a bit thicker.

Wow. My creature brought in her first mouse for about (and I'm guessing here) 6 years. I reckon she bought one of those bags of frozen mice for pet snakes and just defrosted one to try and impress me. She's out tick-farming in the garden right now.

I'm not impressed.

I've re-attached the underengine cover as ond of the push plugs had vanished.
A cable tie sorted it until the next service where a proper person can do a proper job on it.

I hate crawling around under cars!!

Lovely luncheon of a wholemeal roll filled with lox and a schmear (cured salmon & cream cheese), plus a pear, and orange and the obligatory two

Yep... 5 mins isn't enough to leave them for. Same is true for just about all of the instant noodle / pasta things. I usually lob in some extra seasoning as well, although nothing would've redeemed that korma one.

I get regular "gifts" from the girls. Mainly from Lexi, but Poppy does still keep her hand in even though she's getting on a bit. You just get used to it after a while.

Rats though, are a rarity in the present stakes. The usual fare are voles and wood mice, plus the odd shrew. I've had a few weirder items like a common lizard, a grass snake, some large beetles, and, on one memorable occasion, a live rabbit that escaped and spent two days holed up behind the credenza in the dining room...

Never stopped raining all day and still windy. Very depressing and got nothing useful done. Only trip outdoors was as far as the dustbin. Recycling bin today but I had not enough to make it worth putting it out which is just as well as I notice none of the local ones have been emptied.

1st gym visit done, 2nd will be after work. some new bike parts waiting for me at home. was planning on a ride when I got home but might be tempted to install the bike parts 1st. only hitch is, if the install has hiccups & eliminates the bike ride. I can certainly wait on the install & just do the bike ride. that would be the smart plan. but it's me, sooo ...
