Place a flower from the St. John’s Wort plant in each of your shoes before taking a walk, if you don't want to tire yourself out.

I'm not sure if this is a joke that I'm not getting or if it is a bit of folklore. I could have done with some when I walked the path back in 2007 😉

Can it hurt to try?
There must be something in it.

Just put some in one shoe and see if both feet get tired.. 👍

Sounds dangerously like that imperialist western science to me. You'll be claiming washing my bike doesn't cause rain next.

I tried to divide the chips into two portions over a couple of days. Judging by the huge pile that is currently in the oven I was a bit too conservative yesterday.

Grey and murky here chez Casa Reynard.

It kersplooshed it down overnight, with water weeing into the hallway through a rat hole under the guttering that I hadn't noticed. So muggins had mop-and-bucket duty first thing. It's still drizzling on and off, so at least I'm spared the agony of having to turn up to the street party. I'm still coughing for England, so will just sit and watch the pageant on TV and work on the painting.

Other than that, I' ve had a quiet morning watching a series of film shorts about the history of Toleman. Lovely to see Derek being let loose in a TG183 at a rather soggy Brands. I've also done a load of laundry and triaged some of the tangerines I bought last night. They were cheap because the crate had been damaged in transit, and there were a few bashed ones.

Time for luncheon. I has a hungry.

OTOH one can never have too many chips...

I really like that plan. If the apartment situation doesn't improve I may even try it...

How about a narrow boat ?

Quad bikes can be hazardous ....at least they are when l'm riding, apparently.
To clarify !
We have a long heavy chain across the main entrance to our horses paddocks. Yesterday evening after checking that all was as it should be with the horses l set off back to the house on our quad. instead of dismounting and releasing the chain l thought that if l ducked down low enough l could ride the quad under it ! WRONG, chain striking bare head (no helmet) world of pain and blood.
Not sure about what happened then, made it back to the house but of course my partner , ex Swedish airforce helicopter medic operative is away on horsey business Hey -ho that'll learn yah l hear you say. Mind you today l've had an interesting time trying to remove skin and dried blood from whats left of my hair.
I know, l know ....gross behaviour

After a week of commuting on gravel roads my bike is filthy.

I've used 2/3 of the current Marmite pot.

I don't think you're supposed to use marmite on your bike.

I just ate the lot.

If only. They tend to be a bit bigger here:

Not even on the chain?

Lovely luncheon. The last of the wholegrain rolls, one with stuffing & mustard, one with cheddar & chutney, plus an orange, a banana and two
