Fox News: Reynard came at just after nine pm last night. Nine oh two to be precise. There is no real pattern here and he/she doesn’t wait until we’ve gone to bed. THG has seen him in the back garden in daylight. Otherwise all is calm. We are mostly ready for the decorating to begin in our room. Long overdue, I’m told. I am not an expert in these matters and it is good that I am married to a woman of style and taste who knows these things.

Now I am spending a few moments of repose in the snug having breakfasted royally on smashed avocado and toast with a drizzle of Belazu balsamic vinegar. The sourdough loaf you get from Waitrose in a packet with “wild seeds” or similar emblazoned on the cover. Don’t remember exactly but it is nice bread and worth paying the extra for. Great for toast.

Last night we watched University Challenge on iPlayer having missed the live broadcast. Answers came in quickfire progression in the snug and I’ve gotta tell you it wasn’t from me. I do get some answers but am not the house champion when it comes to this quiz. I am the scrabble ace mind you.

Today we are going to see some football play. I was told what it is but forget the name. It’s about wotsisname Southgate the former England manager. Gareth Southgate that’s im. I am not the England football fan in our house but I am a supportive husband and am happy to be the plus one when it comes to such occasions. No complaining whatsoever. I’m sure it will be good. Hopefully 🙂

Wouldn’t bother buying Barbour socks if I were you. They look nice and feel nice but the toes wear out very quickly. Bought a pair last year and the toe had worn through within a couple of wears. They did replace them but I’ve just put on that replacement pair and they’ve worn through again. Binned em.
