Mundane News

[Kempstonian]

Kids use them to go downhill around here.

Sounds like fun! I wonder what other uses people have found for wheely bins? The Brits are a resourceful lot, so I expect they are used for many things...

It's No News Is Good news day

Turn off all news broadcasts. Today is No News Is Good News Day. We all could use a little good news.

No Radio broadcasts. No Television newscasts. And, heaven forbid...avoid the newspaper at all costs. Your local fish wrapper is always filled with bad news. The news media thrives on bad news. Take a day off from all the bad news.

Happy No News Is Good News Day!

Someone never did what they said they were going to do.

I now have 300 unread Mundane news messages. Life has been interesting recently - that's my excuse. I'm fairly sure it won't last.

Because it's a thread for mundane things like bin collections, I can't really tell you all how a recycling bin* inflicted £1500 worth of damage to my car today. .

*the bin was undamaged.

Oh dear! Mine was hit by a run away wheelie bin in a strong wind so I can share your anger. Luckily it hadn't broken the paint and I was able to remove most of the damage.
That looks very expensive !

Morning. It is grey out .
I have put our plastic and cardboard bin out.
In other news . I thought I would give Castle Combe circuit another try last night as it was nice and sunny .
I did 6 laps which is 11 miles. This time I made sure that I would pay more attention to the views surrounding the circuit . It's surrounded by trees! It's no wonder I couldn't remember much of it last time. I could just make out the top of Yatton Keynel church from the top of the circuit.
I suppose the trees help to cut down the sounds from the track on race day, which new locals complain about. I think they should complain to their solicitor for not mentioning it in the survey !
I had a nice time and managed to speak to 5 people .

My Ape-man A66 keeps coming up with " Picture Error " when I try to view what I might have filmed! Is it having a Tiz because I haven't used it for a while ?

I would like to see what I haven't filmed !

Same thing happened at Mallory Park, new people bought houses near the circuit and then moaned about the noise. Wassoks

One would expect silence living next to a circuit wouldn't one !

I'm only posting on here because my Brompton has a rear wheel puncture, and I keep putting off the inevitably fraught encounter.

Decent night's sleep, but feel really

Ah well, no matter. I have cut back a swathe of parsley that was running to seed and I have cleaned the grate in preparation for the sweep's visit tomorrow.

Have errands to run this afternoon, but not sure if I can face any lunch.

Chapeau! to you Madam-you are a true Queen of Mundanity.

The steam locomotive?

Nah, the German "Big Bertha".

'Tis done, might need to adjust the gear changing.
