Weather stations say 18C+, but in that easterly breeze coming through the window, it feels far cooler!
Heading out in 3/4 bibs, PlanetX Magma jacket with sleeves over a baselayer... Now watch me cook despite the planned z1/2 effort.

An afternoon cuppa went down well.
All the daffodils in our garden have been dead headed.
We often leave any leftover mashed potato out for the birds and the magpies like it

Better than a short, sharp shower of …
Maybe need to put in the tray rather than a feeder although suspect it might all be gobbled by the vacuum cleaners that are the wood pigeons. They polished off three Aldi suet balls that the others turned there beaks up at once I had smashed them up and put them in the tray.
Truly horrible day and still raining. 
Test failure because apparently there is a slight leak at the rear joint in the exhaust. Hardly the end of the world, but strange as you would normally hear it if an exhaust is leaking and irritating as I paid to have a new one fitted a few weeks ago.
Tempted to take it back to exhaust centre and complain but it's probably just easier to sort it myself.

Easter weekend feels a bit like a succession of Sundays to me. But I'm reasonably sure that today will be succeeded by a real Sunday.

sold the old car already
Neighbour was looking for a better car than she has with a smaller engine and they made an offer higher than motorway etc were offering and saved the hassle of haggling with other private buyers for the sake of maybe another £2-300 quid , they put a deposit down and when i get the new v5 they will bank transfer the rest .I still have the keys

It's been a sort of sunny day here chez Casa Reynard, but with a stiff breeze that made it feel cooler than it actually was.
Did not sleep well, but that was down to needing to set the alarm. And when you do, you're always half listening for it... Anyway, I did some laundry, but a good chunk of the morning was vacuumed up by going into town to get my Easter basket blessed in church. Now I'm not religious by any means, but it's tradition and something we've always done here chez Casa Reynard. And so it wouldn't feel right if I didn't.
Contents of the basket is bread, babka (a fruited yeasted cake, but I substituted a HCB instead), hard boiled eggs, sausage, cheese, butter and salt. Although it does vary from region to region, and some people won't put cheese but add horseradish, and others will add cheesecake etc. I do need a new basket though, as the handle parted ways...
A quick
and HCB was had, and then off to Tesco for second reductions. Mainly because anything good would've been gone by the evening. I got lucky in the green bins with a job lot of dented tins of tomatoes and some crumpled but intact boxes of breakfast cereal. Nothing of interest in the fruit & veg or in the bread / bakery. But I did pick up "Finest" smoked salmon and organic sirloin steak, both with a reasonable amount knocked off it (they'd have been gone by the evening), and swung for a large gammon joint on the clubcard offer. The latter, I will saw in two prior to freezing. I didn't hang around after they did second reductions. It was still too early to have a sniff around Waitrose, so went home.
Shopping was put away, and another plus a cheese sandwich was had. Then off out again. This time to Waitrose. Irritatingly, I was just that little bit too late, as most of the stuff they were stickering there yesterday (especially the fruit) was all gone. But I did have a couple of good buys off the counter - some breaded cod and half a kilo of haddock. That went into the cool bag I'd taken along with me, and thence back to Tesco for final reductions.
There was a lot, but despite the fact that they're shut tomorrow, final reductions were decidedly ungenerous. Most of the things I'd had my eye on simply stayed in their respective YS cabinets. I didn't come home empty-handed though, as I picked up some "Finest" Wiltshire ham, baby corn, kale, pak choi, eight punnets of raspberries and the green bins yielded some more breakfast cereal and two large boxes of PG Tips tea bags.
Supper was mostly a reprise of last night's - poached salmon, herrings, new potatoes and salady stuff. And a of course.
Now sat watching the snooker.
