The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

What if you dont own a car ?
Actually I think ours might be similar as I dont recall ever seeing anyone on foot or cycle.

I think you probably also need to register to use yours as well

there was a thing in the local paper about it
you only need to tell them your name, address and car reg - and you can have 3 ((I think) cars per address
one of which can be a van

but clearly they want to stop people from "other places" contaminating their skips with foreign waste


sounds like a decent scheme in some ways - 30 visits but you can get more if you ring up with a good reason
better than the one near my wife's old house - when her Mum died and she was moving in here (no those 2 were NOT linked!) then the one near her wanted a forward booking and things like that

I mean - I am clearing out house - I want a tip available when the car is full - not at 3:05 p.m


which sounds to me like a good way of encouraging fly tipping

To supplement our charm of goldfinches, we had a Greenfinch taken up residence atop a nearby tree. He/she/it has just attracted another one.
To say their call is on the tedious side is an understatement 😂

You're lucky to see Greenfinches these days, they are being decimated by a parasite called trichomonosis.
I haven't seen a live greenfinch for a couple of years.

In that case they can be as monotonous as they want 🤗

I didnt know that. We used to get them and the odd Suskin but none for many moons.

You need to start (re start) with baby steps eg half a mile 1st time. Maybe you bit off too much for the 1st time.
Another good one is jog from one lamp post to the next, then alternate job/walk/jog and so on.

Just had a good 2 hour snooze. Cant say I feel refreshed yet.

Chicken Kiev, chips and peas are in front of me asking to be devoured.

Tried to snooze but a nice Americano at the garden centre strived to keep me awake.
