Where exactly are you moving to.
Well, according to google, I'm in the center of that map. You might see me wandering round, sometime.

Good morning all fellow members.
I've been awake since 5AM.
The weather outlook is not good for today, so I think it will be a bike tinkering day in my man cave.
The dog will have to go out as per usual and I need to go to the local butcher for some mince steak for the Lasagna I am going to cook for ten.
Happy days.
Stay safe everyone. :cuppa:
That's a bit extreme, intit.

Hello all.
Dreadful night. This bloody long Covid will not leave us alone.
I will not bore you. MrsD went through what I went through 2 weeks ago. Asleep in bed and her body decides to throw up. Problem being she was too weak to even sit up........I won't be graphic but you can imagine the mess.
I managed to strip the bed and phone our daughter who is coming at 0900 to help as I am too weak to get MrsD into the shower.
Surely things must get better soon**
**being realistic, this virus has killed younger, fitter people than us so we really do count our blessings.



Sorry to hear your news
I wish all those idiots who believe social distancing is a waste of time.could read your experiences .
This virus does not discriminate Eat drink and be merry seems to be their belief
Hope you both make a full recovery.

Hope the pair of you are feeling better sooner rather than later.

Tails of woe -
Yesterday I had fish pie (shop bought) and cauliflower cheese (home made) 10 minutes after I had finished I was sick as a dog xx(, I think I may have had food poisoning, I feel OK now
Also yesterday I went to read my meter only to find the cupboard was locked, it now turns out one has to either email or phone the housing association to get someone from Andover some 21 miles away to read my meter:wacko:
I also learnt that the council has now refused to pick up our plastic bin bags (we can't have wheelie bins) due to elf and safety and now the housing association are going to do it, cost has not been worked out as yet, but they are saying something around £60 a year, I hope I'll get a reduction in my council tax, but knowing them no :angry:
Tried by the largest housing association round these parts, and was deemed illegal. They never had the required waste carriers license, and they'd have had to issue new tenancy agreements.

They don't have the waste carriers license, they cannot legally do the work and pass the cost on. They've to foot the bill.

Suez/Sita the current council contractor?

Isle of Mull
Rest and be Thankful road is closed again but even worse the Old Military Road which is used as a by pass is also closed due to more and even bigger landslides. Whatever the solution is it cannot be soon and it will be horrendously expensive. There are numerous suggestions but nothing decided yet.
I always travel south on the A82 as if the A83 is suddenly shut it is a long way back. Coming north I do use the A83 as if any sudden problems it is not too far back to an alternative route. There is a ferry from Hunters Quay to Gourock and they are running extra boats to cope with the traffic.
