Not been that bad a day here chez Casa Reynard - bright and blustery for the most part, and dry, but it got progressively cloudier and chillier as the hours ticked by.
Did not sleep well, as my brain took a long time to switch off. That aside, I too had my first ride of the year - about an hour in the company of Max the MTB. Was lovely with the pretty brisk tailwind, but the headwind was absolute murder. Still lots of standing water around here, and the rain has washed a lot of gravel onto the roads. Which have also suffered a lot as a result of the recent cold snap. Max might be heavy and slow, but he really is the most comfortable and sure-footed bike to ride.
Had a lovely luncheon of a scotch egg, some crackers with cheese, an apple, a clementine and two
The afternoon's been quiet, although I emptied the car of last night's non-fridgeables earlier and put them all away. Now sat by the fire messing around online and keeping an eye on an auction for a scanner that finishes shortly. I'm going to chance my arm on this one, I think. Fingers crossed...

Don’t you mean yearly?
They did!
Turned out to be a a lovely but cold afternoon so went for a walk on the beach. Quite a few out and about and lots of random strangers wished me a happy new year 
Someone demonstrated their environmental credentials and concern for our planet by driving their Toyota hybrid up and down the beach despite the sign saying not to. I hope they got sand or salt water into somewhere it shouldn't be to give them a nice repair bill and maybe give them a hint not to drive on the beach in future.
Or they get stuck and swamped by the tide and their picture in the local paper which is a common occurrence on the beaches around here.

Well, it seems I'm now the owner of a Canon Lide 220 scanner.
Fingers crossed it will do the job. I have a horrendous backlog of stuff that wants adding to my archive, especially material that's in various publications which are now too rare to want to ruin by cutting them up.
