      Bonjour, mes amis

      Trés chaude here, again...

      Mad Mrs Scruff went paddleboarding before sunrise, whilst I made a surprise visit to the Patisserie for her breakfast. Une tarte de ananas, coco et limon, et une tarte au poire avec caramel sel.

      Trés bon, it was too....

      Tomorrow is the long drive home, via Dijon - I suspect that the hotel that I booked is going to be a dump, but we shall see?

            Morning denizens

            Sunny out, but only 16°C at the moment, supposedly rising to 19° this afternoon

            I need to pop along to the pharmacy for the monthly prescription at some point, so I might take a winding route and make it the daily exercise.

              Morning all

              Another beautiful sunny day here, north of the border. Currently 14 degrees with a forecast high of 19 later. No precipitation expected.

              My day off started with a romantic trip to IKEA. Arrived shortly after opening and there was a queue but not an onerous one. All required items acquired.

              Getting said items into the car required the pulling forward of driver and passenger seats which made the drive back a little uncomfortable but it was only a 15 min journey.

                  I used to do quite a bit of SCUBA diving when I was younger. The two things that I hated about this were 1) being on the surface and not being able to see what was eyeing you up for its lunch, and 2) night diving (see point 1).

                  Mrs S is clearly made of sterner stuff than I.

                    Walk walked.

                    Bracing breeze, but warm enough to work up a little bit of a sweat.

                    Sunny.

                    CBS.

                    I may put up some more shelves in the garage this afternoon in a no doubt futile attempt to organise stuff betterer.

                    Gallon in a pint pot springs to mind.

                    WTF am I supposed to do with the bin bags of soot I found in one of the sheds?

                    No garden to spread it on any more.

                    There's a five gallon drum of "antiseptic" in there as well.

                    And a gallon can of some long forgotten lubricating oil.

                    <hiatus, Specifically In General>

                    WTF is that still spouting his nonsense Specifically In General?

                    Then again, if all the s were banned General would be empty.

                      I've spent about half-an-hour now alternating between trying to decide what to have for lunch and trying to decide what to have for tea
