hehe no. that was a guy looking for spare change at the dock for the Sausalito ferry back to San Francisco, CA. we rented bikes & rode across the Golden Gate Bridge, got a little lost but made it to the little town for lunch, beer & ice cream. decided to take bikes back across the bay on the ferry. the kids were wiped out. if you can't tell, that's a little dog wearing sunglasses. very well behaved cutie

Currently grey, mild and blustery here chez Casa Reynard, though it was sunny earlier.
Slept well and had a lie in, and have had a quiet morning online nerding with fellow motor racing eggheads. It's nice, now that the festive season running around is over, that I can just decompress for a bit. This afternoon I plan to do some more writing and spend some time on the coloured pencil drawing I'm working on - it's nearly finished, but the last few bits are tricky. There's also FA Cup football to be watched / listened to.
For reasons I do not understand, Madam Poppy is currently asleep in a tray of apples in the hallway. Cats, eh...
Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon. I will need to go to the utility room to grab another bread and a bottle of milk from the fridge.

Thankfully the sceptic tank didn't need checking as had been emptied last week

Done the litter trays and now sat back to watch some snooker

Sat in Manchester after an (expensive) lunch then onto an afternoon performance of The Lion King. It's SWMBO's birthday present from last year and we should have decent seats (Circle at the front).
In the meantime I've mended her smart watch whilst waiting for lunch.

Dreich, wet and windy day so went out to visit my wildlife pal and reminisced about our scuba diving days and some of the adventures we had then.
Some were a bit frightening like the time he was caught in a downcurrent and was at 40 metres while frantically finning up and inflating everything possible. He then got into an upcurrent and had to dump air as fast as possible to slow the ascent. Managed to get under control at 10 metres depth.
We also once got caught off Ardnamurchan when a storm suddenly appeared and our boat was on a lee shore. Running out of air and swept by heavy seas is not nice.
On a more sombre note a storm surge is forecast for this evening about 1800 and people are warned to get the storm boards out as the tide will be very high.
My old workshop at sea level used to get flooded to about a metre depth so all electrics had to be high and any stock and machinery well above floor level.
I still have a deep freeze which got flooded so I used fresh water then WD40 on the motor and compressor followed by contact cleaner. It still works but is now only on standby duties for emergencies.

Oh noes... That is just the WORST draw we could've got in the cup...
Man City / Chelsea v Oxford / Arsenal

Oh no it could be Accy v Postman in the cup.Well Leeds were that bad and 2-0 down at half time,I stopped watching and did half the ironing then prepped the veg for evening meal.When I go back it's 2-1 then a penalty miss,then a 93rd equaliser.I might do more ironing when Leeds play.Then the icing on the cake Postman v Accy in the next round.
My new heart rate monitor works far better than the one in my smart watch. So I can keep an eye on things post covid. The weather forecast let me down - the downpour predicted for after I got back from my half hour ride instead turned up 10 minutes into it.
