Morning all. Grey and forecast wet today. Fortunately I’m promised a delivery of essential supplies from the Wine Society van this morning

Morning all.
Today Is the anniversary of the start of the very first Tour de France.

Myself and a pal had planned to set off from home around June 1st this year and cycle to Nice, arriving on the 25th. I have friends who live 500 metres from the Promenade des Anglais, stay with them, watch the start on the 27th and fly home today!

That all went in the bin.

Well pleasant though all the early morning chat is I must away to my porridge and ride preparations. I shall return bedraggled and covered in that sort of grit mess we get on days like this.

Have a good one folks.......

Dull and misty here at the moment

Stay safe.

Good morning fellow retirees,

A sunny start to the day. Unfortunately a hamstring problem cut my last run short, so it's walking and a spell on the turbo today.

This evening we're down the Park to catch up with a few friends and look after our granddaughter while mummy has a little run.
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚶🚲🏃🏊🌞

That brought to mind a saying from a dear departed friend. When pondering life's choices he'd say " Well, you're a long time looking at the lid"

I expect some on here can remember it.

I am going to pinch that saying if you do not mind.

Morning all... Sitting here excitedly waiting for the skip lorry, how much excitement can I have? 🌈

I remember calling them "the bucket men" way back when they still came round the back of the house and physically lifted your bin and took it to the lorry and emptied it. Health and Safety would turn in their graves!

Doubly exciting down here - it's blue and grey bins today.

Morning all

Green bin day here.
Why can't they standardise the colour of bins across the country?

Tomorrow is bin day for us.

Green bin day here.
Why can't they standardise the colour of bins across the country?

We have brown(garden and food waste) every second Tuesday, blue(paper, cardboard, tins, etc) every second Wednesday and green(general waste)on the alternating Wednesday. We don't have one for glass currently. Have to take them to one of the bottle banks, or be bad like me and occasionally sneak them into general waste. Lol

Holidaying in Moray we found that each house there has 4 bins, each of a different colour of course, each with a different collection schedule. One of them was a very bright shade of purple I recall, they made quite a colourful sight in everyone’s drives.
