Coffee & biskit time 😋

Were you never told not to play with your food?

Coffee and domestics all done. Going to get out on the bike before I talk myself out of it

Just don't listen to yourself, trying to talk you out of going.

A warm and still Samhain here chez Casa Reynard - though the weather is set to deteriorate come the late afternoon.

I slept well, but still coughing and sneezing thanks to the glue allergy. I had a morning catching up with chores around the house, including dismembering a pineapple prior to intended consumption.

Have some errands to run this afternoon - need to go to the post office for the parental, I am in want of some very fine (0.3 / 0.5mm) permanent markers to do some of the sign writing and detail work on the Higman and the car is in need of some go-juice.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.

I wonder how many others apart from thee and me remember gas street lights.

I remember the lamplighter outside my great grandfather's in Colchester. The house had gas lighting too. My paternal grandmother in Clapham had no lighting upstairs, so we took a candle up to bed when we stayed there.

Still wet and windy and at least one ferry has been delayed.
Disaster as the coop lorry has not arrived yet and has just got off the ferry 21 miles away.
I was once delayed as one had gone partially off road and blocked the single track. When he got pulled out I reckoned he could be a nuisance if I could not get past as I was going for a ferry. I could indeed not get past as I had difficulty keeping up as he was going for the same ferry and obviously had no speed limiter. The flexible joint in my exhaust system also gave way which made the van sound like a low flying helicopter.
Somebody on FB today touring with what looked like camping gear cycled from Fionnphort to Craignure [ a distance of about 40 miles] and discovered on arriving at Craignure that he had lost one of his panniers en route.
How on earth could he not notice.

We had gas lighting when we lived in Helensburgh in the late 1940's and early 1950's.
I do remember the street lamplighter but I seem to remember he had a bike. Lights were probably quite far apart in the area we lived in.

I didn’t, to my surprise! Just under 12km completed. Good timing really as it’s getting darker and darker, despite being mid afternoon. I think it’s going to rain quite hard.

All these gas lamp and lamp lighter stories are making me think of Mary Poppins

Just don't listen to yourself, trying to talk you out of going.

That is an excellent strategy for life in general!
