Lovely sunny morning down here by the coast with an unplanned pre-dawn stroll along the prom when I picked up a puncture on the way in to work. I'm going to knock off a bit early to go home and get my car so I can get the bike home as it's the ebike which I've not had a look at how the rear wheel comes off and how the power lead unplugs yet.

Aren't numbers wonderful.

It's what kept me sane in my late teens when I had a part time job as a bingo caller - working out the relationship between two consecutive numbers produced by the ping pong balls or the random number generator. For example if the number 56 was followed by 47 you could put 56 between the 4 & 7 to make a run of 4 numbers and both add up to 11

Take a selection of spanners. Around 18mm or bigger. Maybe Allen keys too.
Also expect two plug and sockets, depending on how the bike is controlled.

Are they going to complain about pre-filled medication boxers/cards too as they are collectively called NOMAD's?

Never heard of that but must keep in mind

I had a long bus journey to school in my early teens. Dad had taught me cribbage so I would practice totting up crib scores using the ticket serial numbers.

I was planning a quick utility ride at lunchtime, but its persisting down and breezy
January 'weather windows' are often a bit fleeting I find.

A well timed run in glorious sunshine this morning. I could hear the distant sound of someone playing the flute as I started out, and was fortunate to see a cormorant with wings fully spread perched on a post just a few metres from me as I ran past a local pond. A couple of minutes after getting in the door the heavens opened.

I could look at a 56 and a 47 for several days on end, and never once come up with that idea.

This inability to see patterns in numbers is probably why I always loathed those maths 'projects' at school.

Lunchtime breezy stroll completed

Mild and blustery here chez Casa Reynard. It was sunny earlier, but it has now clouded over, and I suspect that rain is heading this way.

Slept OK-ish, but any sort of gentle waking up was interrupted by the parental unit who had apparently misplaced a cat. Said cat was curled up in a box of fabric offcuts that lives under the credenza in the hall / extension. Hey ho, someone's going to have to put up with me being a mardy bag today on the account that I didn't get my full quota of kip.

Anyways, that aside, I have had a kitchen morning, and have turned a pile of rather tired vegetables (carrots, a parsnip, two sweet potatoes, the last of a head of celery, a potato and a bunch of salad onions) into a large cauldron of soup. I also added the turkey stock / cooking juices, some of the roasted pumpkin and a few handfuls of red lentils. Should be good when it's done, smells lovely as it's simmering away.

I will need to restock all the wood bins in the house this afternoon, and refill the coal scuttle.

But first, it's time for luncheon.

Spring schedule done (for now), so it's back to next Fall's schedule ...

what is it about them, that they like weird little hide-aways? our cat unit sometimes likes a shelf in the basement. it's not even warm down there!

Mathematically patterns are all over the place, nature is full of them they seam to flock to flower heads.

I was waiting outside the local veg shop and noticed the sprouts climb the stem in a spiral pattern. I believe it’s the most efficient way for each individual sprout to get maximum sunlight.
