Bin news is mundane but actually posting about a lack of bin news is hardcore mundanity.

Yesterday we all went to visit my parents in the Vale of Belvoir, having Christmas-ish then. My mum's made it to Christmas Day, although it's almost certainly her last as she's weakening with cancer. Still as stroppy as usual though, just now forgetting things and clearly in pain.
We then dropped a now-healing Son no. 1 back to Lincoln as he's volunteering in the charity shop he helps out in today, with Son no. 2 heading back to university accommodation in Nottingham early so he can work on his assessments. It's not usual for a first year to do this, but he needs to get three drafts ready for his support worker to read (he was diagnosed as Dyslexic and with Dysgraphia in July, so is still working out how he can use the support now offered).
This evening I've done my tax return. Rather than thinking I had a bit of a bill they owe me £787
- need to remember to log back in and ask for it now please ...

My elderly parents have caught covid along with a big chunk of the rest of the family. I’m heading off tomorrow with a car full of meds and food. Fingers crossed that my full set of vaccinations and recent actual covid will stop me getting it again.

We watched a video or three, and went on a 'bike tour' of the local farms in the afternoon. There were cows. And chickens.

Wouldn't that be an hour earlier there?
An hour later would put you out in the Atlantic.

Spotted a used Canon Lide 220 scanner complete with box and all the gubbins that might do me rather nicely. And it seems compatible with both my laptops according to the Canon website as it lists drivers for both OS. That would be somewhat handy...
Downside it's got no lightbox to do slides and negs, but given that's not something I used terribly often on my old Epson after I switched from film to digital, I can probably manage without for now. Main thing is being able to digitize documents and photos for my archive, as I've built up a rather large backlog.
£40 tested and delivered sounds reasonable enough.

Oh, and I had a lovely supper of two bird roast with stuffing (did it in the crock pot as it was the lazy option), roasties made with the dripping left in the roasting tin from cooking those sausages yesterday, and more of the braised red cabbage. Had cranberry sauce on the side, too.
Picked up the two bird roast (turkey & duck) on YS, reduced from £25 to £5. At a fiver it's plenty nice enough, and the leftovers will do brilliantly for sandwiches and kitty snacks - Madam Lexi approved of the turkey part wholeheartedly, to the point she's still meeping hopefully at me. But at the full whack, it's hideously overpriced; I'd much rather have spent half the original asking price on a really good free range organic chicken.
That aside, I'm now going to have the individual tiramisu that's sitting in the fridge with my name on it.

Back to work this morning. I seem to have been in the minority in not suffering with a cold and coughing & sneezing all over the place. At least I missed the rain and it was warm in the office.
