Right time for a few early morning miles...... The only trouble is I can't even walk
maybe it's time for cycling movies & books?

temps today & tomorrow in the mid-high 90sF. A/C technician never showed up this week, so we're worried. Wifey doesn't want to battle traffic to the beaches. tomorrow will be torture at work. right now it feels quite cool. my inlays previous brick home was always a kind of root cellar sanctuary & stayed cool because they closed it up & had a family room in the basement. wish we were retiring when they were selling it

Lots of old timers still around. I arrived 7 years later, looking for advice on fixing a BSO. Which, incidentally, gave me a lot of fun & got me started.

Warm, breezy and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.
Spent the morning erranding and providing a taxi service for the parental unit. Took mum for her Covid booster, and then parked up where she could sit back and enjoy the comings and goings in town while I popped off to the market. I have acquired another three tomato plants and a tray of runner beans.
Also stopped by the watchmaker. He adjusted the bracelet on the Seiko for me, and I've left the Kelek with him for a service. An initial look confirms that there's nothing overtly wrong with it, it's just that the movement is gummed up and needs cleaning. He seemed surprised that I didn't go all Yorkshire on him over the cost - thing is, it's paying for his time and his skill, as the movement needs disassembling, cleaning, lubricating and then putting back together again.
He did admire both watches though, so I've obviously got good taste.
Had a cheese and pepperoni sandwich for luncheon, along with an orange, a banana and two

After a few days of activity I am knackered tho' I did footer around in the garden for while before the rain come on again. Lettuce seeds in and a new plant in a large tub for the front garden as one there is looking a bit past it.
Adapted Reynard's recipe for Placki Kartoflan by using the Remoska instead of frying. Worked well so had that with cauliflower and carrot sprinkled with blue cheese and grilled. Got a bit left over for lunch tomorrow as well.
I tend to be an instinctive cook rather that slavishly follow a recipe. Had one or two slight disasters but very few. My wife tended to think recipes were for wimps and adapted them freely. It obviously influenced my cooking methods.
