Looks bright and sunny one minute, grey and wet the next but I managed to get my walk in without getting too damp.

Putting a washing in now and my new box of Persil says USELESS on the top. Perhaps I should have stuck to my usual brand.

Autocorrect keeps trying to change Persil to Persia!

Just sing the old Jonny Ray Song.Just walking in the rain getting soaking wet.

If you can remember that song you must be about my age

Still nothing happening, but at least the sun's come out, it's got warmer and there's only 75 minutes until going home time.

Time for another cuppa and a sarnie.

You've recovered better than me. Knee has exploded after Snowdon. WFH this week as I can't use the clutch (certainly not for a nose to tail hour) nor can I pedal there.

Ouch!! I hope it improves soon 😕
The only bit of me that was (and is still, slightly) achy are the front of my thighs, especially if I walk downhill!
The dog had to put up with only a couple of miles yesterday, but she'll be happy with her usual 3 to 4 mile walk this evening once it gets cooler..

Warm and blustery here chez Casa Reynard, but it's been clouding over a lot in the last half hour.

Had the best night's sleep in a week and a half or so. Not brilliant, but right now, I'll take what I can get. Have done some gentle puttering about this morning as well as some writing. Some baking and some gardening planned for this afternoon. There are a few showers forecast, but hopefully they'll hold off.

It is almost time for luncheon.

I use lemon juice and vodka with salt and sugar mainly and press it for a few days using a 2Kg diving weight on top of a board. In a suitable dish of course.

As long as you get the right ratio of salt to fish, it's pretty well much whatever takes your fancy for the other flavours. It's very much a favourite here chez Casa Reynard.

I have an array of old 2lb kitchen weights that get pressed into service.

I have been photographing bicycles with a panoramic format 35mm camera and a pinhole camera. Now just deciding whether to walk or cycle the films off to be developed.

Don't you have a large SUV you could drive in?

since Wifey tested positive Sunday my employer asked me to stay home Mon/Tuesday & test today/Tuesday. woke up today Tuesday 5/17 w/ some mild symptoms such as body aches & head ache. my test appears to be negative EXCEPT for a little shadow where the 2nd positive line would be. took a pic w/ my cell & darkened it, so I could see it better. needless to say, I'll be testing again later or tomorrow, before my dental procedure. either way, I won't be in the office tomorrow

Yesterday, sorry but I forgot to mention, I cleaned the interior of my car.
This morning, I washed and buffed the outside!

clean cars go faster

Darn, I knew I'd forgotten something! No, no SUV of any size chez Hebe. One smallish hybrid and the Mister's work funded car is being swapped for an ev mini next week. I try to walk or cycle shorter trips.

Had a lovely sandwich with the last of the salmon and the last of the cream cheese for luncheon, along with a plum, an orange and the obligatory two

I do not want any cream cheese for a while. That's the downside of buying a 1kg tub.

I ordered 2.5kg tub of cottage cheese cold packed next day delivery.
It arrived yesterday after 7 days of transit so I binned it ......
Problem is it's a 50 mile round trip to hopefully get some if they have stock so I'm scratching about a bit wanting cheese on everything......

You do realise cottage cheese is really easy to make at home? And it tastes much nicer than anything you can buy.

As long as you've got the means to sour full-cream milk (lemon juice or a small splooshette of vinegar), and remember to salt the end result (about 1.5% salt) the job's a good 'un. I always do mine with garlic, parsley and chives. Oh, and sliced radishes on the side.
