Mundane News

Took my Olympus OM1 and an expired roll of Ilford Delta (expiry date 2005 ) out in the fog this morning. The results are either going to be interesting or very disappointing. Some nice prints made in the darkroom and tomorrow I’m going to choose some prints to get ready for exhibition. No sign of any actual exhibitions but I’m choosing to be positive.

In the realm of the mundane, it might be blue bin day tomorrow. I need to look either out of the window or on the council website.

Take a chance, put them all out.

Living on the edge! Just checked online. It’s not blue bin week.

I bet you opened the wrong one!

Nope and the right one on the dogs one too.

Bet you're counting up and not down though.
Why couldn't the dogs open their own?

No I’m reading the little numbers printed on it
His paws are a bit too big to get to the windows anyway he like’s to sit and wait for what’s behind the window. He opens his own Christmas presents though.

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

And time for Japan v Spain and Germany v Costa Rica.

I hope Germany get a bit further: the roads here are deserted when they are playing.

No such luck... They got dumped out after Japan beat Spain. Ooops.

Lovely supper of bacon, sweetcorn & potato soup, then buttered toast and a frittata with salad onions, red pepper, a leftover of greens and chunks of leftover potato.

It was blue bin here today. Recycling bods got their card and box of Xmas biskits.

Forecast this morning did not look like triking weather so decided to have a quick trip to Oban for a haircut. This means driving 21 miles to the ferry and then an hour more to get to Oban.
The idea was to try this on foot as the barber is not too far away from the Oban terminal. Got to Craignure and the weather looked dry and settled and considered taking the trike over but the barber's location is a bit of a problem with a 5 way junction and crossing the road to the right hand side. Decided not to chance it and went on foot. Not something I will try again.
To get to a retail park with the trike I would probably try about 150 yards of pavement cycling as opposed to about one mile on busy main roads to get there.
Sad news at the traditional barber tho' as he is shutting down at the end of January. Not retiring but his wife has a big promotion which means moving to the east coast.
Need to go to the Turkish ones next as the only ones available.

All the barbers around here only seem to do appointments & since I retired I've avoided anything with appointments.

Ooops.

Still time to put it in a spoiler. Don't think he'll see it while 04:00 hours.

We could can certainly cycle to Switzerland and well into France before hitting a significant hill. To the north the valley goes as far as Frankfurt and if you follow the Rhine, technically Rotterdam and the North Sea.

To the east, we'd hit a big hill in about two kilometres.

Oh great our gas smart meter has now gone and stoped working if it's like the electric one I doubt they will ever fix it.

Isn't technology great?

Having worked with technology I refused a smart meter when our meter died & they replaced it with a S/H dumb meter.

Indulged in a KFC whilst watching the football earlier .... Just standard pieces but with corn and coleslaw, no chips. Very acceptable a couple of times a year.
