The RRV which since covid has taken root and can't seam to get away from (another story). Needed a run out, so booked it out then spent a few minutes agreeing with the system the approval needed was me.
Went the long way round past the hospital it just so happened as I past the nurses picket line.
I remembered i'd missed the blue and two off the pre drive checks. Then on the way back I forgot which switch turned the heater off

Four supermarkets it took this evening simply to find two bananas that would be ready for eating Thursday/Friday. Morrisons & Lidl all decidedly green. Asda on the turn so did buy two but really for the weekend, then Aldi stacks of green ones and another box full of ones yellow but not overly so - perfect. Obviously bought other stuff and at long last after months of looking found Asdas free from Viennese fingers dipped in chocolate - just hope they are nice.

Just put a green one with other fruit, it'll be ready for eating in a day or two. Once they've lost all trace of green they're ready for the compost.

Lunch!

Can I have a strong cup of tea please?

The Patient's brother had a bone scan yesterday, and has just been called back to the hospital urgently today to see the Consultant instead of next week.

That looks just right, thank you. Not too strong and not too much milk.

It is one thing looking after someone who is very unwell, but when that someone gets bad news about his brother, that somehow makes things so much worse.

In "normal" times, I would now be out in the garden, as I find that very therapeutic, but it is too cold.

Another brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrright, chhhhhhhhhhhhhhilly and brrrrrrrrrrrrriskly brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreezy day here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept well and, for the first time in a while, did not oversleep. Topped up the wood bins in the house, revived the fire, re-jigged the fridges in the kitchen and utility room and rounded up the ingredients for this evening's food.

Am not doing any lumberjilling today; I've some cooking to do as all the leftovers have been eaten, and I really *do* want to put my (new to me) scanner through its paces. The parental already has found two lace patterns for me to scan and print. Never fails

It's bin day here tomorrow, but not putting the bins out. The green wheelie bin is empty and there's barely anything in the black bag.

Anyways, it's almost time for luncheon.

I'm about to put the kettle on to make a pot of tea. I can trebuchet a brew over in an unsulated flask.

Lunchtime stroll completed under nice clear blue skies but unthawed ice in places

 

[Reynard]

Ah! 17 twelve volt batteries wired in series should do !

Wouldn't 20 of them be better?

Bin's have bin emptied. Dog's been walked. Stuff has been shuffled around in the shed.

I've found a different spoke key, or the one I had before changed colour spontaneously.

My new spoke key is red.

This helps me to find it...
