I'm going to see if my car clock changes the hour when I go out in a minute.
I've not been in it since the clocks went back by an hour last weekend..

I've tidied up the garden a bit with some of the Annual plants having gone past their best, including the two hanging baskets on the front porch that really excelled this year (as opposed to 2021 when they never failed to disappoint!!)

Hydrangea has been dead-headed and lightly trimmed into shape.

I've quite a lot of those annuals. A friend of my Granny's who lived in Glasgow used to send me one every Christmas and I've picked up a few of the old ones over the years from junk shops. I love them too.

OK, so these two adjacent posts tickled me a bit.

I see that they are offering walk in baths with free fitting .

Do they have to shoe horn you in ?

Spent morning fighting with freestanding bath tap in a ceiling cavity. Got the old one isolated. Not got it out yet, let alone plumbing new one in!!

Empty house today. I’ve run all the errands and done some indoor fitness as (a) it’s miserable outside and (b) I’m waiting for a package which rather conveniently didn’t turn up while I was out this morning. Going to make a coffee now and then make some chocolate chip cookies.

Cool, murky and drizzly here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well (yay!) and have had a bit of a kitchen morning. The crock pot is now locked and loaded with the makings of a pasta sauce - the other 4p can of tomatoes, along with some extra tomatoes from the garden, a large onion, two red peppers, garlic, the last of the bacon and a few other relevant seasonings / oddments.

Also got the cover off the storage heater and I'm rather stumped. It's just another blank plate behind it - I'm assuming that's what's holding in the bricks and the element in. There's a few wires at the bottom and a few wires and a couple of doodads at the top behind a protective cover that swings out of the way. At least there is a maker's name and various serial numbers next to the bottom set of wires, so I can have a google to see what comes up. I can't see anything overtly amiss.

I had planned on going to the community orchard, but as it's raining, I shan't think I'll bother.

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

Lovely luncheon of a gammon & mustard sandwich, a cracker with some deliciously ripe Kinnerton Ash goats cheese, another cracker with a dollop of apple & ginger jam, then a banana, a pear and all washed down with two

There's a workman now at my flat from my housing association. He's come to fix the lock in my front (and only) door. Last night I couldn't lock it. It's been playing up for a while.

I seem to have carried both of my my spoke tools from Freiburg to Stuttgart in my pocket.

The workman has now left after repairing the lock. It's only a temporary repair while he gets a new lock on Monday to hopefully fit next week. I asked him if he'd traveled far. He told me he lives in Ramsbottom, which is 16.3 miles away by car.

I have a and TWO chocolate biskits.

Am trying to see if I can find a better way of making the sides of the driver's cab on the Higman. I am not happy with my one-piece milk bottle and papier mache jobbies.
