Well, I managed 7 holes of golf before my back said "thats enough". Sat propped up on cushions now. My cough/cold lurgy is virtually gone. I was kindly gifted that by Screenman so felt it only right to pass it on to another of our retired crew. Sorry @Paulus but feel free to pass it around when it has finished with you.
1st load of stuff dropped off at the charity shops.
Load of stuff dropped off at the tip.
That's about a third of the stuff sorted.
2 more days of clearing out to go.
Doggie walked around Bicclescombe Park in ilfracombe.
Lunch partaken off at The Crown in West Down.
I think that will do me for today.

You never made the 19th!!
No, sadly not. I was playing in a monthly mini society.....2 groups of 3 today. We were due to play 12 holes which is normal in Winter....... then lunch and drinks. I made the decision to come home. Good job really as the back is quite painful at the moment.

I have, in that past, suggested to Mrs Boldonlad, that various "must have items" could just be delivered straight to the Charity Shop, without having to go through the, to me, unnecessary step of taking it home from the store, placing it in wardrobe/drawer for a period of months, then having to drive to the Charity Shop to drop it off. It would save time, and, be better for the Environment.
My idea was not well received, for some reason?

It is golf, on a full size course, and not Crazy Golf you're talking about?
The two clubs near me play Nine and Eighteen holes.
9 or 18 is common. Our course is posh so plays 12
.Its a 9 hole course but with 2 completely different Tees for each hole so in winter we play the 9 and then the back 3 (the 3rd green is not far from the clubhouse).
We swap around and sometimes start on the 7th...... 7, 8, 9, then the full back 9.
Its a nice course. If you google Alder Root GC you can see some photos.

One local to me, open whilst 7pm.
You can see the club house, just below the white building near the top of the second picture.
Well when I say posh I mean not dead dead common.
We even have signs in the washrooms asking members not to wash their balls in the sink.
"They seem to like their bikes"......not sure what you mean there.

Ahh yes. I did a charity ride with them last year.
I then found proceeds were going to improve the course so I advised everyone I would not accept their gifts and expressed my feelings.......members pay for the course, charity gifts are for charity.
Things have changed and now.....it all goes to charitees.

Going to spend the weekend with friends this weekend near Kendle , Lake District. If we go with my car ( Diesel) , cost of fuel for a return journey: £25. Going with my wife's car ( petrol): £38. Guess which one we will use?
