The annual "queue for the refuse centre" opposite our factory has been in full swing since 8 this morning.

Currently looking out the window at all the idling cars, full to the brim with rubbish.

When did Xmas become so stupid ?

Can't really put anything of value outside in the UK, too many folk who would happily relieve you of your posessions.

Somewhat true here, anymore, unless it's something bulky, like a car top carrier, or a boat. When I had stuff like that, though, I kept it in a storage unit.

The 1990's.

Finished the marathon of 12 hours shifts all starting at 6 am. 9 days of them. Will sleep until late afternoon tomorrow.

Woke up at 5 am. First thought - "Ooooh sh***, I'm late to work !!!"
Second thought - "Ah yeah, I'm not working today".

Back to sleep and finally woke up at 8 am. Half of my brain think it's enough and other half - it's not enough sleep. Well, it was 11 hours of sleep anyway.

Do you have a walk in parts centre for bicycles at your home?

Not quite

A good 15 years ago at least

I've been at work since 7am. Management have magnanimously decided we can finish an hour early.

I went out for a ride over to Corsham and back earlier. About 8 1/2 miles. It was grey and a bit damp .

 

[EltonFrog]

I’ve been down to the post office on my bike.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Been out for three hours in the lanes and a trip down then back up the local 20% hill. Roads damp, but no rain, and only met one other cyclist during the whole time.

I need a new mouse for my laptop.

Awww, did you close the lid on the other little cutie?

Nah, not good idea at all. It could work as a sort of euthanasia but it will kill the laptop too.

The mouse is almost at it's retirement age. It's about 15 years old.

I was in the queue for my local refuse tip, but mainly because we had to have a big clear out to get my lad's roof box in the garage. Gone is the old large BBQ as I always use a small cast iron one, old timber, an old clothes rail and stair guards (we'd kept the stair guards for relatives, but after 20 years they are looking tatty). And finally, the big exercise bike is back in MIL's garage - it will stay there until we sell the house (and if any relatives want it).

I'm thinking of tieing loops to the garage roof beams to lift the roof box off the floor a couple of feet (that's all the space there is as it's a big box), but that will free up additional floor space.
