Come on Ernie.. It's nearly tomorrow now... 👍

£50 coming our way
First cuppa going down well

Not as much traffic on the roads?

More parked tin boxes so the gutter remains full of clutter?

Yes I noticed it a couple of weeks ago , must admit I prefer the small road from Pytchley that comes out by McDonald's on the ind estate if I am going through Kettering on the bike but the new path will give us another option

Yes, the Pytchley road is much better.
That there A509 is a horrible road to ride, isn't it! The only bit I do is up from the Weetabix bridge to the Orlingbury Road.

Good point. I did wonder whether they're renting it as a contract and it's cheaper being used in others' down-time.

It's definitely on the main road each time, which is about 50 feet as the crow flies, although down a big drop. That won't have parked cars on it.

It's also been down the side roads occasionally I'm guessing, as it's loud and I can follow the noise. Mine doesn't have parked cars although some of the rest do.

I like the word "touroid"

Sums up the attitude of many who do not profit but are pestered by them and unable to go about our daily lives in peace.

The local road sweeper is going round again - it seems to do the area where I live once a fortnight. But it always comes round near midnight.

We used to have a manual one on the Main Street and the local joke was
"What travels the length of the street without touching the ground?"
"Dyke's brush"
That was not his real name since being a native he had a nickname which he was always known by.

Light rain and brisk wind with worse for tomorrow.
Just now at nearly 0930 I have to put the kitchen light back on to see what I am doing.
Food mostly unpacked but still some to be sorted for the freezer. Clothes still not started unpacking yet.
Now waiting on a GP to call to discuss my latest blood results. Don't like the sound of that.
Ernie however has coughed up £100 this month.

Ernie missed my numbers this month 😔

A nice & slow start to my weekend. No Friday bike ride for a meal & drink out though as I have to drive this evening - for the first time in 3 weeks!

Ernie has been good enough to donate £125 to my cause which, considering what I've got planned this month, is most welcome.

Googled info about unions. Doesn't look good for security officers. And from what I found you will get help only after 4 payments which is after 4 months. So rough £50 a month possibly for nothing ... hmmm, nope.

I think he was detained at Sue's at No. 22.

Since we do not burn any fossil fuels inside the house and heating/hot water etc is by an external appliance with an external venting system ,it isn't an issue.

sounds like a riddle!

busy weekend but we get Monday off
