I've been at MissP's putting up the wall bracket for her Television and putting together the radiator cover for her. I think that is about it for the time being at her place. More or less a total rebuild, electrics, plumbing, new kitchen,and boiler, new bathroom, and decorated top to bottom. It should keep her going for a while.

Last time I was erect and stuck up a bracket I was arrested.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
It is getting worse weather wise here. Fine misty rain and the wind is picking up as well. A day for just looking out the window i think.

Good morning all. Just off out with the dog for an hour or two. The bin men actually came round today and emptied the recycling bin. The rubbish is still there at the moment. First time for three weeks. The rounds got reorganised in early december and it has been chaotic to say the least. Some people have not had a collection of either bins for 4 weeks. Phone calls and emails to the council have been met with a blank.

Good morning. Windy and wet. I seem to be getting the hang of this sleeping business. Recently I've had a number of sleeps till 7.30/8.00. Unusual for me.

Left hip has been a bugger recently. I have early onset osteoarthritis and it gets really uncomfortable sometimes. Not been good over the weekend so more Ibuprofen needed. It's the damp weather.

Lots of odds and sods to do and probably the gym this evening. Apart from butter, bread and eggs we haven't been to a supermarket since December 21st - must buy food today!!!

We're having that problem with Barnet as well. Our normal bin and recycled bin used to be collected on Mondays, they changed it to Tuesdays and it's pot luck when the recycling bin gets emptied now, last done Sunday morning.
