Does she have permission ?

Not required, and if she feels like it she can bill the council(land owner) for the work.

I've finally got enough unsolicited (attempted) sales letters to make it worth swapping all their unsolicited offers around and posting them back to them all in their freepost envelopes..


One of life's little pleasures

I send their empty pre-paid envelopes back. Otherwise they have my address on the sales letter.

Did two heaped wheelbarrows of firewood this afternoon - salvaged from the tangle that the drainage board left. Then hoofed off to Littleport to post a letter and drop off mum's prescription slip at the quack.

Now having a and a pain au chocolat.

I did my second ride of the year today, 50 miles, my first ride at that distance since 22 December, I might ache a bit tomorrow.

That distance would probably kill me !
A couple of days working on a computer on a picture wore me out .

I usually send pizza, kebab leaflets or supermarket offers.
I had one envelope left, today, so I popped a newspaper cutting about bacon recipes in for them to read.

I have a goatee. It's a compromise.


I admire your optimism.

You're not tempted then?

encountered 2 objectionable customers at my part-time, 2nd job yesterday. really had to bite my lip to keep myself from telling them off

One of the things I really like about my job is that ticking the rude clients off is part of the description.

Sitting by the fire, listening to Arsenal v Newcastle.

The cats have been fed. I have a jacket potato with chicken, bacon, sweetcorn and cheese.

Mad Monday is over until next week. Online sessions on Zoom for the kids requiring a lot of setting up due to very close start/finish times, squeezing a meal in-between and making sure all equipment is ready (martial arts and orchestra - you can imagine what equipment we have to have to hand). Then there's any tech, video and audio issues which the tech guy (i.e. me) has to be ready to fix instantly. Plus my participation required for holding kick shields or punching pads for the kids to hit the hell out of in the first session.

Exhausting.

A 200km audax is less stressful.

It's still a bit snowy...

That was a very satisfying result in the football tonight.

On my way back from Littleport, I had to stop at the level crossing. New loco on the line today, keeping with the football theme - 66725 "Sunderland" complete with club crest and red & white scarf.

Put my blue wheelie bin and black bag out for collection in the morning.

I do that as well, and also add in a few local flyers. It's surprising how much some of the freepost envelopes will hold.

The only exception is that I won't do it to charities.

Blimey! As a 'well hard' vigilante, you're shoulder to shoulder with Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson.
