I have fixed the front door bell today, I saw a lady riding a Dawes Kingpin to school this morning, I have wrapped a parcel ready to take to the post office, I've had my lunch, I'm about to start the ironing.

I was reminded earlier of this last week; while visiting Bath, the Fragrant MrsP and I went to Paxton & Whitfield a cheese shop. We bought some Tor and some Lanark Blue, when I asked for some Roquefort he said they were waiting for delivery, we then asked for some Swiss Tomme Vaudoise and he had just sold the last piece.
I shoot you not.

I have had similar problems. Try asking for Larg or Corsican Brocciu these days and you might as well be talking to yourself. Unbe-bloody-lievable!

Our recycling bin, and the brown garden stuff bin goes out every fortnight. Same with the black rubbish bin, though that would take over 6 months to fully fill it.

Here, it alternates between blue wheelie bin (general recycling) and green wheelie bin (garden & kitchen waste). There is a black bag collection every week - we get issued with 52 black bags every October. I might only use eight a year, and even when I do put one out, it's barely half full. Usually, pong wins out over quantity when it comes to the black bag, especially in summer.

Most of what goes in my black bag is cat food pouches as they're not recycled locally. There is a scheme that does recycle them, but the nearest collection point involves a 40-something mile round trip...

This fecking sinusitis can go and do one.

That's the second night with next to no sleep. Face hurts, tongue won't co-operate, but at least my teeth are only two sizes too large as opposed to the ten sizes too large that they were last night. The snottage is beginning to drain, but owwwww.

Horseradish.

Might also try pure, unadulterated grape juice.

Horseradish.

I've only got a jar of creamed horseradish lurking in the fridge. While it's great with roast beef, don't think it's quite got the *kaboom* necessary to shift any snot...

Here we go again

I quite enjoyed it. Guy is always entertaining, and given there's bicycles, motorbikes and engineering in it, what's not to like?

Having now watched it, I concur 👍

Morning!
It looks like the Police are putting cones out in the road opposite me !
I'm wondering if either a drain cover has collapsed or been nicked !

Nicked...

It's dark and moody out

We have a grey bin (tins, bottles & plastic), green bin (paper & card), grey bin with pink lid (non-recyclable waste) and brown bin (garden waste). The latter is optional and costs about £35 a year (if I remember rightly); it's of course the only one I fill!
(Feel I'm getting into the swing of this 'Mundane' malarkey)

The Police have blocked the Hungerdown Lane due to a serious accident !

I rode out to Middleton Hall a couple of years ago and every drain cover on both sides of the road between the Bodington Road junction and the Hall had gone.

Scrap price is low now but peterborough suffered a fair bit with drain cover theft. In fact anything metal was nicked, even part of a new road bridge...

I wont blame the travelling community as they dont steel or travel as it happens..

 

[Illaveago]

It was a collision involving a cyclist and a car !

Road to be closed for several hours .
