Took advantage of the fine afternoon. Went off for a cup of tea with Vanessa. 25k round trip.
Bu$$er, battery ran out 5km from home. The bike is an ugly, useless, heavy lump without the battery

Spot-on acquired, both girls zapped.

Both girls are now sulking.

Thanks. Getting ever closer to the big 50.

Two years to go though.

Happy Birthday @cookiemonster . You'll be relieved to know that once past 50 it no longer looms. It starts a slow process of fading away.

Happy birthday @cookiemonster ! And yes, watching 50 get closer is hard, but not as hard as seeing it get further away every year! Better than the alternative, anyway. Enjoy your xbox and flight simulator. I never understand why they don't simulate the queues or the trolley service. Or the movies.

I've replaced the backup 9v battery in one of the three mains-powered smoke detectors in the house. It's still going 'beep'.

My guess, given they were changed when I bought the house back in 2004, is that it's probably time for new ones

I've had my shingles jab (and I'm still nowhere near the beach 🏖)

 

[rockyroller]

every now & then I get a surprise on the new security camera

 

[rockyroller]

also surprised myself last night. bought a brand new bike that was in someone's garage for 10 years. he says he only rode it 10 miles & I believe him

Our mouse is very clean !
We discovered that it has been getting into the drawers underneath the sink and eating soap !

in 2015, I was lucky enough to win a 1 week artist's retreat, in a dune shack, on outer Cape Cod. very remote, no running water, no electricity, no neighbors. I was told how to care for my provisions & that if I saw mouse tooth marks in the bar soap, that was a good sign. it meant it, or they, were not finding my food. sure enough, I saw tooth marks in the soap. so, well done, you! ;-)

The girls get groomed pretty well much every other day - a good way of keeping an eye on them generally.

my same philosophy for our Reggie. he likes it too. I have 2 types of combs, a wide tooth one meant for dogs I think, looks like a rake. he has thick hair. & another recommended by a groomer. smaller but does a nice job & he likes that one as well. he tends to gets mats toward his hind quarters. so surprising to me. I must not be doing as good a job as I think. one year they were really terrible. not so bad now. I'll keep working on them as he lets me

I thought I'd lost my smart phone, but it was in my bike bag.

 

[Reynard]

Cats have been fed, I'm listening to the qualifying from Interlagos for tomorrow's sprint race.

 

[Hebe]

This cold is still going strong. Still, fish and chips will be had later when the rest of the Hebe household gets home. Considering swapping my contacts for my specs in the meantime, but that will involve getting up off the sofa.
