Is that the ceiling or the weather? I pondered this for sometime on my rideGood morning all. I stayed in bed looking at the ceiling.
Dull and misty here at the moment

......and finally while on the subject of bins. We have green, grey, blue and brown. It's so complicated on collection I have an alert on my phone to tell me what colour to put out!!!!!! Ever noticed if your bin is first out and you've put the wrong colour out some people follow suit? I can be quite mischievous on occasion........
On a serious note. These are recycling bins. Coloured plastic can only be made from virgin, that is, white plastic. So all the friggin' bins are made from new plastic not recycled.
I did once visit somewhere where all the bins were black with coloured lids. Black plastic can be made from recycled plastic - joined up thinking there.

Just been watching Wimbledon Rewind on BBC2, which jogged my memory of this time last year, where we had a great day out........ Mrs GM having her Pyms at Wims......
Hermes.......ahh yes.
A few weeks ago my son ordered £1K bike from Go Outdoors.
Email to say its been despatched via Hermes.
A few weeks later an email to say your bike has gone missing in transit.
A quick google showed a least 8 bikes being delivered by Hermes in that area alone had "gone missing".
He got his money back but by then G Os had no bikes left.

"For to see mad Tom of Bedlam
Ten thousand miles I'd travel
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
For to save her shoes from gravel
Still I sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonnie,
For they all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money " this is part of The Boys of Bedlam which Steeleye Span used to do back in the day, with the superb voice of Maddy Prior , we had massive sideburns , thin as a rake , long hair , bellbottoms, beer and festivals , alas those carefree days , no social distancing either

Maddy Prior. Hmm. Lovely.
Still got some Steeleye Span in the car.

Move aside Dr Alice. My new intellectual fancy piece is the historian Bettany Hughes. Oh yes indeed.
