Chilly, still and sort-of-sunny here chez Casa Reynard
Slept really well. Overslept again, so am obviously dealing with some kind of major sleep deficit here. Well, it does knit up the ravelled sleeve of care...
Have had a quiet morning. Decanted a 10kg sack of cat biskits into the large clip-top tupperwares kept for that purpose, put the empty sack in the soft plastics recycling and the cardboard box has been cut up and put in the blue wheelie bin. I was ably assisted by Mesdames Poppy & Lexi, who vacuumed up the biskits I spilled on the floor.
Poppy also had some fun with the box before I cut it up. she was busy chasing her tail, and the box was wiggling and bouncing around as if it was possessed. Just had to stand there laughing. Poppy is nearly 13 and a half, and she still plays like a kitten...
Also won a Bay of E auction for a stock car programme that I believe is relevant to me. The listing was useless (why can't people be more specific about the contents), so there is some element of pot luck here as the week it covers sits in a gaping hole in the timeline I've put together. But it does cover meetings at Aldershot and Arlington - two of the tracks where Paul seemed to race at the most often, and there also tend to be some meeting reports in these programmes, so fingers crossed I haven't wasted my money.
Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

Out for a ride today and bumped into @OneCogDown who wasn’t on one cog! Nice chatting before I stopped at cafe.
'Twas a lovely morning, sunny if a little chilly. I spent it putting up a few shelves and a few other DIY task for my mother.
I had planned a ride for this afternoon but now there is sleet and it has cooled down enough to create a possible black ice risk I think.
The moral of the story is do the important things like cycling first and then deal with household chores.

It's nice to know that Georgie makes friends but I wish he wouldn't bring them home with him . Especially still alive !
We have set a trap as he keeps sniffing the skirting board covers under the cupboards in the kitchen .

Got to hand it to Calmac.
At 1555 they send out a text message that following repairs to MV Isle of Mull she will do the 1555 run from Craignure as a final sea trial. By 1800 they say they will tell us if the timetable will revert to the published one ie they managed to get to Craignure and back.
At 1555 all passengers and vehicles will be on board anyway and the ramp raised so no means of escape for the faint hearted.
Weather playing games and it was a nice sunny but cold day so decided at lunchtime I would get a trike run. By the time I got ready it had started heavy sleet. Abandoned the trip and sun back out but by this time I had started another indoor project which had to get finished before leaving.

Had a lovely luncheon of a chunk of melton mowbray pork pie, a sausage sandwich, a pear, a tangerine and two 
Now sat listening to Spurs v Arsenal.
And Chelsea sniped us on a player we'd been expecting to sign this coming week. The only comfort is that they paid about £20 million more than we were offering. I really hope he's an expensive failure now.

Finally made it back. Bike filthy because someone in Rastatt doesn't know the difference between cycle infrastructure and a tractor track.

The one I got is a giant one that Tesco do for Christmas. I prefer to make a good pork pie last and enjoy it a slice at a time.
How do you keep them? I didn't think they could be frozen.

She didn't say how frequently she eats a slice.

In the coldest part of the fridge. They'll keep a good couple of weeks beyond their date - as long as you don't cut them open. The pastry and jelly forms an airtight seal and keeps the meat fresh, you see.
Once they're open though, they don't tend to last very long though...
