The flies know! I'm out of ammo, nothing left in the fly spray, having discovered two fat flies buzzing round the kitchen I went for a rolled up newspaper, as soon as I walked into the kitchen with the rolled up newspaper they both disappeared and I've not seen them since.

Rather fancy one of these.

Looking forward for a long weekend on the bike. Been ages since I've had a full two days for cycling adventures.

Ouf! Just seen footage of the GB girls' splattage in the team sprint.

I thought that velodrome looked a bit odd - the track is 50m shorter than the standard. That banking is well steep In car terms, it's a bit like comparing Indianapolis to Bristol...

Don't use spray here because of the cats.

But between Madam Poppy's pogoing for "sky raisins" and my old-fashioned fly swat, I think we manage reasonably well. Besides, there's a certain technique to using a fly swat (it's all in the wrist action!) and it's incredibly therapeutic besides...

That looks like fun.

Stage two complete. After a search I located the key for the van (in the previous drivers pocket).

Some of the clients kindly helped me load it the van; this was handy because Middle Son is somewhere between here and Karlsruhe on a delayed train.

Thus stage three has now become: back to station to pick up Middle Son.

Returned the July special steam iron to Lidl because it stopped generating steam on the third time I used it. Swapped it for the August version which seems to be much better so far, judging by my progress through the ironing pile this afternoon 🤞Mr Hebe has had tshirts returned to him that he'd forgotten he owned.

It's the weekend

My duvet cover just did a fine job of wrapping up all the rest of the whites like a stuffed duffel bag and preventing them from drying in the tumble drier. So I untangled the lot and set it going again. Same result. I think they'll dry quicker on my clothes bicycles.

Found the carrier bag with my summer holiday shoes that has been awol since 2019. Also, less mundane joy at finding that I now fit into the dresses that I took on honeymoon 15 years ago. Add happy emoji of your choice - they are greyed out on my phone for some reason.

I am sitting on the drive in half sun, half shade and watching the Triathlon from Munich and keeping tabs on Southern Brave v London Spirit. Before you ask, the top half of me is in the sun, and my lap and laptop are in the shade.

Reynard's top tip. Do up the buttons / poppers on the duvet cover whenever laundering. Otherwise *everything* ends up inside

You need eco friendly 'sky rasin' hunters. We get no flies in this house with four 'hunters'.

I know that but I can never be bothered doing up buttons just to undo them and redo them once there's a duvet inside.
