Mundane News

Bin news. Belatedly announcing that my black bin was blown over in the wind the other week. Both have now been secured with string.

Well done @Andy in Germany , big change then, hope it turns out well for you.

Pity about the housing aspect as that a tough obstacle to get over.

25 quids for me too. That's 75 of them in the two months I've had them.

And another £30 on a lucky dip on the lotto.

Same here, good old earnie

Is that £25 X 75 or £75 in total ?

£75 in total. If only it were the other.

I've been offered and accepted the job in Freiburg.

I thought I'd be excited but I'm now worrying about being away from my family and wondering if it's the right place to go. I've told myself there's a mandatory 6-month trial period and I can always look for something closer during that time.

Now I'm tying to find an apartment and Freiburgs rental prices are eye-watering.

Best o'luck with all three parts.

Take it it's too far to cycle there every day.

Is there a trots epidemic which might explain the sudden demand for streamers ?

Apparently they cleared the shelves in Malmesbury.

I wonder what they are going for on the bay ?

It poured with rain all night last night. When is it going to stop?

It was dry when I went out at 6am here still dry now .

I stayed in the Youth Hostel in Freiburg. It was in about 1967, though 😂

I got 2 big bottles of Innocent coconut 'milk' from work @ 30p each.

I used some to make my porage this morning.
Now, that was a peculiar taste! 😂

There was talk of the United States building up a strategic reserve of t.p., just so people don't hoard. That's okay, worst come to worst, I live near a field or few that produce a multiplicity of corn cobs.

Good luck on the new job, @Andy in Germany .

I had a luck to be a witness of a "facepalm" situation yesterday at work.

A young man took out his ID before entering the pub. And at the same moment he managed to drop a small bag of white powder from his wallet. What a clumsy. He acted like nothing happened. I picked that bag and followed the procedures (fill in the book of what's happened etc).
Few hours later leaving the bar that man came to me - "can I get that bag back?" Well, you can't because it's already gone to the safe in the pub and will be destroyed.
I wished him to be not so clumsy next time.
And it was a dose of cocaine.

No riding today, off to Peel for fish and chips for a late lunch/early tea followed by an ice cream...... if the girls can get their act together!!!

Had a lazy morning, but there is a leek, potato and bacon soup simmering away in the crock pot for later.

Have re-started the ink drawing for the second stock car painting. I'm trying to be more careful with it this time.

It is pouring with rain and blowing a hoolie out here.
