Wildfires?

That's simultaneously funny and unfunny.

I had a ride with my friends this morning. The start was delayed as I had a PSA blood test. It was a pleasant ride the 7 of us. We stopped in Lacock for tea.
The ride home was marred by a group of old people pedestrians who decided to annexe the shared cycle/ footpath for themselves. They had blocked the pavement saying that I should be in the road. I told them that there were signs showing a cyclist and a person indicating that it was a shared path. They argued that is was meant for children. I told them that the path was specially made as part of the Sustrans network. I also said that motorists would complain that we were not using a cycle track built for us but using the road. The Council is at fault by painting cycle lanes in the road as part of a traffic calming measure. New people to the area think that this is the cycle lane. I won't ride in the road if I can help it as the vehicle will pass by really close.

I think there are some people who must wake up angry.

It's been a warm and sunny day here chez Casa Reynard, albeit that it's now clouded over.

Slept really well, which is good, but still feeling tired / stressed. At least the lady issues have mostly taken a hike. Until next month, that is. I had a gentle morning just catching up on some little things. Also did a load of laundry and went around the house catching cobwebs with a feather duster.

Had a lovely luncheon of crusty white bread, homemade coronation chicken, smoked cheddar, fruit and a

Then took myself off to Tesco, as I saw on their website that the sides of salmon were on a better-than-half-price clubcard offer. This was the one thing that I really wanted out of their Easter offers, so didn't want to leave it to chance. Salmon was successfully acquired - I am actually sharing it with the friend I go dog walking with - and I also picked up some very posh sausages, some spinach and some HCB on yellow sticker.

Just going to have a nice quiet evening.

It's time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.

Penultimate day of the working week completed. Only a half day tomorrow too.

I should probably have gone for a ride but I procrastinated and the moment has passed. I'll go for a longer ride tomorrow and just relax now.

Had a lovely supper of a bacon sandwich accompanied by steamed greens then tossed into the bacon dripping, and then apple & sultana crumble with custard for afters.

 

[Reynard]

Maybe dropped scones?

Much the same thing, except for size. Ladle of batter vs tablespoon.

No wonder you seem to spend an inordinate amount of time lumberjilling if that woodland is all yours!

It is. And I enjoy the lumberjilling. That aside, it's just such a lovely space to pootle about in.

Nicely timed evening trek to B&Q and Aldi. The sun providing a bright rear illumination there and on the return back west it had dropped sufficently to act as uplighter rather than a blinding glare in the sunglasses. Dead batteries disposed of in B&Q, sunflower hearts feeder purchased in B&Q and pork mediallons amongst the Aldi purchases.
Back home opened a letter than came this morning which had all the indications of being junk but transpired to be a £50 cheque from the Nationwide because they have acquired Virgin Money. Not sure on the logic but definately not complaining.
