Warm, mostly sunny and somewhat blustery here chez Casa Reynard, with showers lurking in the area.
Slept a bit too well (oops). After a lot of running around this week doing stuff for the parental, I decided that I was going to have a "me day" today, so I spent the morning prepping some of the parts of the Higman model for ready for priming and painting. They're some of the first parts I made, so there was a good bit of filing, filling and sanding to do. Have resorted to wearing a face mask, because the dust is making me sneeze and has given me a very dribbly nose.
The washing up liquid bottle ended up being a bit of a bust as it was too small for the size of panels I needed to make, so I will have a rummage in the recycling wheelie bin for a 4 pint milk bottle and see if that's any better.
I've also done some writing. I've moved onto the next chapter even though I'd not entirely finished the one before - it's a slightly different segment of the story, so it doesn't matter that there's a break. I just wanted a change of scenery for a bit. I'm now having fun with the reaction of one of my characters to a book which includes a photograph of topless grid girls.
The existence of the photo is based on a very real story involving Gerry Marshall and a Castrol promotional shoot...
I might pootle back to the community orchard later, seeings there's still a reasonable amount of both Murfitt's Seedlings and Cottenham Seedlings left, as well as the Dr Harveys that my friend and I scrumped. And there's a bumper crop of Lord Burleighs, which is a keeping dessert apple.
Anyways, it is time for luncheon
