My brother's little lad is obsessed by the bin truck - he waits at the window every week to watch for the bin men, and they wave to him. It's his birthday soon, so I've ordered a bin truck with lights and sound, plus a set of 6 bins for him to 'collect'. He will be made up.

Maybe a word with the bin men to sing Happy Birthday when it's nearest to (or even on) his birthday.
I'm sure they'd oblige as most are nice friendly chaps.

Just been on Hoflards web site to crick and correct . It was all singing and dancing ! I don't mind the singing but I could do without the dancing . The bl***y thing wouldn't keep still. It kept scrolling everywhere !

I hope the operator doesn't try to get out for a bit. It looks like one of those cartoons where the supporting structure vanishes and the character is left standing on thin air.

So far I've cleaned the dishes, floor, my work clothes and the oven.

Just read a report on the local news website, 70% rise in sales of E bikes and one retailer has sold out of entry level bikes, the bike shops over here don't sell Halford esq entry level bikes, most start at £350

Wal*Mart was pretty much out of bikes the other day, near me. I live in the Midwest U.S., though. So we're pretty much an afterthought. Unless you want corn, or soybeans.

Just bought the wood to make another one, one of the daughters friends saw the first one & now wants one. What size wheels are you thinking

Maybe what I need is a trike with steps at the back! Anyone else have the problem of being fine on the bike, once you're on?

Black bin has been emptied just waiting for our neighbor to bring it down the drive as I did them last week

You mean you don't have a competition to see who can get there first?

Now I've just burned lunch.

Seriously, I can burn anything when cooking.

Except salad*.















*Maybe.

Once sat in a cafe just outside Gainsborough many years ago whilst out motorbiking when a group of cyclists came in, one of them an old boy lent his bike against the glass window on the sign that said "Don't lean bikes against this window" He then proceeded to come into the cafe, he could not walk unless he was holding onto something, either the wall, a chair or somebody else. I quietly mentioned it to one of his fellows cyclists & received the comment back, that they all thought he was amazing, he was in his late 70's, still rode out with them on 50 mile social loops, he was never dropped as he could keep up with them, just his legs couldn't carry his body without being on the bike.

Just been puttering about doing oddments this morning. I think we're going to miss all the thunderstorms here too, it's hot, sunny and a cloudless sky. Low pollen count according to the forecast, but if you're allergic to the pollen that *is* about, then the fact that it's low is neither here nor there...

Itchy eyes, tight chest and a rash on my arms are today's afflictions.

Anyways, about to toddle off for a spot of lunch.

Today's theme in the photography challenge is "Transport"

Class 66 loco (66087) and waggons. Didn't even have to leave the garden for this one. Hope it's a pleasing shot to the Mundane News Thread's resident train buffs @Andy in Germany and @Gravity Aided
