The dog is in the woods but I suspect trouble when he gets back........

 

[biggs682]

Probably Welsh people

Are we allowed to call them that these days ?

Sorry if that offends anyone from or born there

Sky has gone filthy; it'll rain any minute now, just you wait and see...

Told you so.

Also thunder and wind.

happy Monday, good luck everyone

I am drinking coffee and keeping an eye on a Hairy Bikers Jambalaya.

My smallest tablet has the longest name. It starts with ben and then adds another 7 syllables garnered from a whistle-stop tour of the alphabet.

My mother used to take something that sounded like Gloppydoggerel - Clopidogrel.

Maybe that's just what the doctor's writing looked like it said..

Due to a clerical error we had an hour of sunshine, but this has now been corrected and it's gersplüschening it down again.

Georgie eventually turned up at 10.30. He was casually strolling down our garden path. I saved to him , he stopped and just huffed !

Another grey day with light rain forecast but not currently raining.
Yesterday I heard a cuckoo from behind my house. Used to hear them often but not now as what were open fields are now fields of enormous houses. You have to listen very carefully as the pigeons have a similar tone but three coos as opposed to the two of the cuckoo.
Wakened by an itch on the back of my ankle about 0100. Recognised it immediately as a tick so kit out and head torch on. Too far away without specs on but could not get the bit near enough to see properly with specs. Managed to get the little B out eventually. I was only in my garden yesterday and not in long grass or any long vegetation so how I picked it up is a mystery.
Lots of comments that they are particularly bad this year.

Ouch

Mild and grey here chez Casa Reynard. There is rain forecast here for this afternoon.

That was a very odd night's sleep with some very strange dreams about flying in an airplane with no cabin. I have cleaned out the mess in my e-mails folder and done some gentle puttering around. Am currently being washed by a very purry blue & white cat.

There are clothing repairs on the agenda this afternoon - need to patch a couple of things that are getting a bit worn, but that otherwise are still perfectly serviceable.

My left index finger is ridiculously itchy.

It is almost time for luncheon.

 

[Reynard]

Long overdue. Will be a blessing as she probably should have gone many years ago. She's ready to go. On strong opioid but still waking and answering questions. Body is knackered.

It's a bit like when my dad passed away. In his case though, there was alzheimers in the mix as well. Was a relief in the end, had got to the point where mum and I were struggling to look after him at home.

It's as if a whole load of weight gets lifted off your shoulders.

 

[Reynard]

That's got me wondering ! Is there a reader's section ?

Not as such, but i have bought many a book there over the years. They do have a blanket price of £1 per book, so not worth it for a knackered paperback, but definitely so for a large format hardback. At one point, I had a really successful run on books on military history, some of them quite rare. I'd hazard a guess that someone threw away an entire collection...

I used to have to do repairs to our knitting machinery from time to time and inevitably some tiny part would drop and scurry of somewhere. Strangers would get a bit bemused to find several people with backsides in the air searching the floor with torches. They travelled a surprising distance sometimes and hid under something. The only alternative would be to cannibalise a not working machine which was not a good idea.

Yep, the trajectory of small items can result in them landing far away from where you *think* they've landed. That's why I generally undo things inside a plastic tub, so there's less chance of escapage.

My mum's tablets can ping a surprising distance.

As can bits of walnut shell.

 

[mybike]

Mmmm, indeed.

But most folk go 'ow much?!?! when quoted for a watch service. Gets even more spendy if bits are broken.

How much?

If it's not being nosy.
