Have you been reactivated?

Are you going on to Zed after that?

 

[Speicher]

I am reliably informed that the field is Beans. Do Roe deer eat beans? I spotted one just ten yards from the end of the garden. A small one, as only its head and shoulders were above the bean plants.

For reasons I can't disclose I'm off to Wye.

Why?

 

[Speicher]

My, what big ears you've got! Not my photo I hasten to add.

Warm, breezy and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard. Both girls are outside, puttering about in the garden.

I slept well after all of yesterday's running around. Just going to chill today, listen to the F1 and the football and work on the writing.

I think my YS purchases part of my grocery shop tot up to about £12 in total. The chicken was a very large one and set me back just shy of £3, and the king prawns set me back £1.50 as I bought two packs at 75p each. Final reductions of the non-counter stuff in Tesco Ely tend to be 70 or 75% these days, unless there's a job lot of something that desperately needs shifting. They used to reduce by 90 or 95%, but that tended to be an absolute bunfight. A lot of the "regulars" from those days have buggered off elsewhere, meaning that it's a much more civilized affair. I was on my own for much of last night's reductions.

Am about to go and put a load of laundry in so it can cycle through while I'm listening to the motor racing. Will also put the oven on to do some sausage rolls.

Why?

Or...Wye not?

 

[Reynard]

Is that still going? I thought it had stopped years ago. With no telly nowadays I would not know anyway but in the old days I got the occasional tip from it.

They've re-booted it, but fronted by that chap from The Only Way is Essex...

 

[Reynard]

Well that was half an hour of my life wasted sat on the throne I tried but nothing happened

Which is why I always have a good supply of books and magazines or I read the news on the phone. It's a good time to multi-task.

 

[Reynard]

Indeed it's Lost Empire.

To give up on real books ??? No way ! A proper paper book is something ... real. Feels different than e-book. I have got 15 books at home waiting to be read.

I don't think I could ever ditch proper books. Besides, my best mate owns a bookshop...

Fingers and paws crossed xxx

Or...Wye not?

Why Wye?

Maybe why Wye will be made known later.

Inspired by @Reynard , I have reactivated my original Swatch, as well as my Caravelle. I am enjoying this little analog intrusion into the present day.

Neat

I had a Swatch back in the mid 1980s (I'd just started senior school) but it got nicked.

My classmates were all wealthier than me by some margin, so they had no real need for an ugly black & green plastic watch. I should say, the Swatch was a gift from family friends for passing the 11+, I would not have chosen that particular colourway for myself.

Other than that, I still have all the other watches I've owned.

Caravelles are nice - they are made by Bulova.

Don't get them mixed up !

 

[Reynard]

Don't get them mixed up !

The laundry is in the washing machine and the sausage rolls are just about to hit the oven.

I double checked.
