Umbridge ? , isn’t that a fictional village in a long running radio soap.

I give you Umbridge.

Have been to the gym again. The nice young lady instructor there took me through lots of exercises to help with my knees, my efforts to put them into practice were all very shaky. I very much doubt whether I’ve remembered even half of what she told me. But I will give them a go, hopefully I will get the hang of them eventually.
It’s now gone grey and my thoughts of going out on my bike later have petered out. A lazy day I think for the rest of today

Rubbish Operative or Waste Operative, which given they're not actually operating it is plain misleading.

Our waste removal technician has been and our bin has been emptied

What's technical about emptying a bin though.

Well our planned visit to the farm shop failed miserably .
MrsD was feeling quite weak and it started raining..........I did not fancy pushing a wheelchair around in that.
So, I got a few bits and bobs done instead.

We are not just anybody here you know. We don't allow just any old bin persons in our close......they all wear suits and ties.

Opticians visited, eyes checked and no difference in the prescription. So , as the inserts in my cycling specs are 5 years out of date I have ordered new lenses for them.
The grass has now been cut ahead of the weekends rain that is forecast, and I am now readying myself to go the pub.

I think woke means people that are offended by everyone and everything no matter what it is just because they can.

It simply means means you not a small minded racist . Am quite happy to be called woke because I went to the trouble of finding what it really means . It’s not difficult 😀😀

Tie is a health hazard, it could get trapped.

Ahhhh that would account for the screams I hear this morning and the big red splodge on the road

It might help with constipation, but I'm not sure that juggling tyre levers would help me sleep!

I have actually felt tired at night a couple of times recently and so have turned the TV off before 02:00, gone to bed, and have stopped solving crosswords and playing puzzle games by 02:30. Trouble is, then I wake up again a couple of hours later...

It was about 04:15 when I got off last night (this morning!) but I still woke up a couple of times before my alarm.

If I’m having a bad spell then it feels as though sleeping makes me tired if that makes sense?

It does to me. I would say that I feel more tired most days when I wake up than I did before I went to sleep!

I rarely actually feel sleepy. I just go to bed at night because you are supposed to. Tossed and turned most of last night and nearly got up at 3 but resisted and eventually got an hour or so.

You cleared it up after them?
