Just got back in from an evening at a friend's 25 miles away. Great ride over there and back. Saw more urban foxes than cars in the last 15 mins before I got home!

Weirdly mild evening, only needed light long sleeve jersey and shorts!

Right time to put Marcus Archibald back into the box labelled "imagination" and toddle off to bed.

We have bin confusion! You’d think after moving to a new house it’d be easy to put the bins out for collection, simply copy what the neighbours do. But no! I know after checking on the council website that today is bin collection day, but where are our bins emptied from? No one has put them on the main road at the front of the house (which I’m glad about as it’s be a huge, heavy pain to do so), and I can’t see everyone dragging them all the way down the access road as it’s quite a way with a heavy bin and all those bins would cause an massive obstruction. So does the bin lorry come up the access road? What do I do?

Morning .
I thought it was recycling bin day! My wife told me that there aren't any collections on a Thursday. I must have been thinking of the old system .

There appears to be much bin confusion in this fair realm!
Incidentally, our bin was emptied on the right day (yesterday) and left within 25' of where I'd put it.

One day to go before a long-ish weekend.

Monday off as the school is being used as a polling station for our 'elections' (ha ha ha ha).

Then, Tuesday is the school Xmas party (I'm Santa, photos will be provided) and then, from Wed, off until 3rd Jan.

Oh, and there's an unusual, late season typhoon in the South China Sea so next week will be wet.

@Speicher Do you like my new mugs?

Our problem is with holiday houses where the tenants have been told to copy the neighbours. Unfortunately the neighbours are also holiday homes and just leave the bins in the street anyway and in any case they have no idea which colour to put out so just put everything out but never take the ones not emptied back in.

My TV has lost all its channels this morning so I'm having to listen to the cricket on my phone. It has done 2 scans without finding a single channel. I think I'm going to have to unplug it for a bit.

I have written 8 Christmas cards this year.
7 have been delivered by me on a bicycle. 1 has been delivered by Royal Mail ( but I did ride to the postbox)

Right, I now have more stations than I can use. A brief withdrawal of lecky juice reminds the pixies how they need electricity to pixelate.

I have just hauled umpteen boxes and suitcases down from the loft . One of the boxes was 3 ft by 9 inches by 8 inches. It had a picture of a tree on the box on a metal stand . The wording said "Artificial Tree " . Isn't that stating the bl33ding obvious !
