A little the worse for wear this morning following a trip to the physio yesterday afternoon followed by a visit to our local brewery tap room. I’ve self medicated with scrambled eggs on toast followed my Pain au Chocolat and an almond croissant 🥐
A lazy day ahead.

No LOL... This one dates from 1977, so self-winding.

I do fancy an eco-drive though, but I'm after a particular model. I don't mind sitting tight and being patient. There are a couple for sale on the 'bay, but are too spendy. I got sniped on one last week. Hey ho...

Grey, still and reasonably warm here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept well, but feel bloody godawful. Currently tanked up on paracetamol and chamomile tea with honey and lemon. Have puttered about in the kitchen. This included peeling and chopping up a tired-looking pineapple. It actually looked worse - under the skin, the fruit was absolutely fine.

A relatively quiet afternoon is planned. Need to read through the completed chapter and check for any remaining boo boos.

It is almost time for luncheon.

What about a bit of leather? It does come pretty thick sometimes and bits could be glued together. We rented a bit of our workshop to a leatherworker so I am fairly familiar with the stuff. I may even have some bits lying around.
I also have I think a bit of conveyer belt from a quarry which is pretty tough.

I did think of leather. I still have several rolls of assorted stiffness and thickness left over from dad's upholstery and luggage-making business, so it's not as if I'm lacking.

Downside of using leather is that it will get very wet from all the stuff blowing out of the back of the deck. Which means it will go mouldy and rot.

They don't ship to the UK sadly. Only US, Canada or Puerto Rico.

Thanks for looking, though xxx

Agreeable quick pint in the middle of Chester, planned ride looks scuppered!

You're not supposed to mix imperial and metric units of measurements up.

It's what engineers do.

Go for the walk!
Then to bed, when you get back.

Absolutely, we have a path down an old branch line that is ideal, only half is lit.

Two slices of wholemeal toast for luncheon, one with the last of the chicken liver pate, one with some of that fine Cornish vintage cheddar, plus an orange, some pineapple and two

MIL's room has been cleared at the nursing home - eight of us, and we filled my son's work's VW caddy !

Went round to the house to try and tame the jungle - two strimmers in use and my Mrs blew up the mower !

Big job next, sort the house for sale.

my Mrs blew up the mower !

That's impressive!

My word this pointing the paving slabs on the driveway is taking longer than I thought.Mind you I had to lift five this morning and relay them,I am not as fit as I thought.Anyway I kept on going till I ran out of muck.Not doing bad for an hammer chewer.Won't win any prizes.So now it's going to be Monday before it's finished.Then I start painting front little bedroom and shower room and toilet.Mrs P has been out and ordered carpet and vinyl flooring.So I need to get cracking.Plus a skip will be coming it will save us from trips to the tip.
