Hi @PeteXXX, I could be mischievous and asking if you are referring to part 1 or part 2 but the short answer is no, I do have a life some of the time.

My bin day is Thursday, but I hardly notice because one neighbour puts one bin out for me and I share the other two with the other neighbour and the binmen come and fetch those. That's one area of my life that's quite well sorted DG.




Parfait; tu peux m'aider. Une tranche de 50 pages te va? Retour avant ce soir? [and so as not to upset the mods by writing in a foreign tongue, I am enlisting @deptfordmarmoset to take on 50 pages for me by teatime] ^_^
Blimey!! 50 pages translated by tonight? That is some going unless it is very easy translation. Bon courage mon brave.:notworthy:

Who set the one mile limit?
I think that was New York,too. or at least there was talk of such. Sounds unenforceable, unless by mutual cooperation.

Having yesterday stripprd down the circular saw because the blade guard & it takes that to refit it, I've decided the garage needs sorting, The exciting question is, how far will I get?
I started sorting my garage yesterday. I lasted one hour and one car load to the tip. I did focus on what was important first, however. All my bike tools and bits and bobs are all neatly tidied away and easy to get to. Anything not bike-related... I'll get round to it. Eventually. When the weather gets warmer. :whistle:

We don't have to put bins out - green blue and grey - as they live in the back lane.

We did tidy the garden where I had the difficult job of supervision and encouragement. A mutual effort got the results in the car and to the tip.

Our local, brilliant, plant nursery couldn't full-fill my request for a ground cover that would swamp the grass immediately. The alternative is still a ground cover with flowers for the insects.

Planting commences shortly.

Came down to our caravan last night, which may be the last visit we get in a while. Keeping away from folk and just chilling, except our electric went last night. No heating or light, but we could at least use the hob and oven. Had two camping lights in the cupboard so we managed, if frozen. Electrician came about 11am this morning and replaced a module on the consumer unit (the main trip switch). Toastie now. I think I'll be taking my 'arcade' machine home as I'm not sure we will be back (thinking lockdown end next week).

Can you think of a better way to self isolate?
 
Spent some of the morning prepping a new section of fence for log storage; clearing away twiggy stuff, levelling out the soil, that kind of thing. Then I started sawing sections of tree into logs and stacking them. It's wood I could use straight away, but it'll benefit from a summer of drying out.

Thinking about a bike ride in a bit. It's been a while, what with one thing and another.
