Mundane News

[oldwheels]

Pouring rain but no wind yet. Gales back again tomorrow and rotten for the rest of the week.
The holiday home menaces are back parked in our resident parking and with the outside light left on permanently.
They used to be not too bad and kept to their own area in front of the house but this last year they have been the arrogant could not care less types.
Last week when I was out I borrowed the Openreach cones which are handy but I cannot keep doing that as they often use them if they expect to come back to a pit nearby to stop cars parking on top of it and blocking their access.

That's a lot of thinking !
You should rest now .

I think I rested on my 30 mile damp underfoot ride
First cuppa went down well

I may have a roll of tape that Reynard might be interested in seeing .

No ! It's not one of those leave a certain amount in a brown envelope behind a waste bin somewhere . It is F1 related .

That's what you are telling us

OK, so its not entirely mundane, but I've had a lump of glass in my leg from a motorcycle accident for~50 years. Last summer it started giving me grief and toward the end of January it made an appearance. A bit like a loose tooth, it came out this morning.

It's started raining!

I was happily wondering “scotch? Sello? Washi? Duck? Magic” Kept me happily occupied until well into the next paragraph. I think a thread dedicated to the mundane is my spiritual home.

Think some slightly more robust direct action is in order. The bloody cheek of it

Must be some kind of record. My mail arrived today before 12 o'clock. Usually before privatisation it was mid afternoon at best but latterly much later. Yesterday's mail arrived at 8 o'clock in the evening.
Bad news my electricity cost up estimated at £270 more per annum, much of that due to a near doubling of the standing charge. What that has to do with the cost of the electricity I cannot work out.
Better news while my Council Tax bill is up I actually will pay about £12 per month less. The Scottish government has put in a subsidy direct to the taxpayer.😊

I have politely pointed out to some in the past that they had their own parking and got a load of abuse. The peasants who live here should just learn that they are of no importance unless as servants.😠

I have the house to myself. After two years of lockdowns, home schooling and working from home (which became the norm), having the place to myself for a day or two feels as good as going on holiday.
Also, Stefan is delivering my parcel today between 15:52 and 16:52.

Nice long doorstep walk just short of 2 miles .

How to provide variety at work:

Collect items from storeroom
Forget metal framed shelf above head
Smack head on shelf
Go to hospital and get head glued back together again.
Come back to apartment for lunch.
Catch bus in ten minutes to return to shop to collect bike.

The doc asked "How did you get the injury?"
I said "Temporary geographical amnesia..."

Been for a ride with wife. No jacket required and felt Spring like out of the wind.

I just cycled back from the shop without gloves. First time this year. I'd left them in a closed pannier full of shopping and I couldn't be bothered to get them out again.

You could have wondered reel to reel !

I will get round to posting a picture soon . Bit tired at the moment .
