Another miserable wet day in prospect and rain forecast every day for the next week at least.
This seems to be the winter pattern now with rain and wind. Very depressing.
The recycling bins were not emptied yesterday but only the landfill ones. Perhaps today.
The bin lorry driver has for the second year running produced a calendar which is sold for the benefit of local charities. He has the advantage of being all round the island often early morning when you can get some spectacular views. Naturally some busy body complained that he was doing this during working hours but it was explained that he only took pictures during tea breaks.
One bus driver who was a mod gold medallist used to sing to the passengers on the service bus until a complaint went in about this and he had to stop.
Doesn't stop "Big John" giving a running commentary who forgets he is on a service bus and not a tour bus.
Bit of a comic and I think he makes a bit on the side from tips from the tourists.

I've just got my winter fuel allowance £200 
good job too as my car insurance is up tomorrow £180
so I've got £20 left, I'll buy a couple of candles and if it gets really cold I'll light one.

£20 should get you Fork Handles...
Mrs Tenkay and I were on a bus in Dublin many years ago and the driver would burst into song from time to time and make passing observations about anything that caught his fancy. Not a tour bus, just a regular service bus.

Or 4 candles? From the two Ronnies.
A very funny sketch that.

I just asked (sent) Mr WD Into his workshop to make another pattern for me in plywood. I'm sure he will warm up when he comes back into the house (eventually).
