I bet where we used to live is quiet now! We were on the north east side of Milton Keynes not far from Newport Pagnell services. When the wind blew from the east or north east it sounded like the M1 was at the end of the garden. Quite different now I would imagine......636mick wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 7:46 am Been on nights. Very strange driving on an empty motorway, stopping in a live lane to remove a tyre, then continuing on without another vehicle passing me!!!
Home, washing is on as I’ve got an Asda order to collect in a bit, sleep has to wait so I changed the bed instead!!
Been stood in the garden with a cuppa listening to the birds, lambs, cows. Love living in the country, finally got what I wanted!!
Mick.

Started early. Coffee and breakfast at 6am. Placed orders via Amazon for opening office end of May. Sanitiser and Automatic Dispensers. Sanitiser has gone from £15 for 5 litres to £50 for 5 litres. Slight price increase or what!? Methinks some suppliers are enjoying the huge profit margins. Hey ho.
Collected my Click and collect wood from Wickes at 7am. Nice to get that out of the way. Now having a cup of tea and continue with getting PAT testing and Fire Extinguisher maintenace done before we open the office end of May.

That was last week when I had to dig out the septic soakaway. That's what prompted all this.
The weather is perfect for it.

Re: What have you done today thread?
For the first time in years I decided to swap over some trail tyres using tyre levers.
Jeez, when did it become so difficult, I am sure I never struggled so much in my younger
days

Re: What have you done today thread?
Was going to have an easy day today having spent all day yesterday planting things......so the easy day went along the lines of spending all day AGAIN planting things! Thank fully gravy dinner was already prepped and only needed heating in the microwave, which is good because now I can now barely move off the sofa......
Tomorrow is definitely going to be an easy day, well until I get up and decide to do something!

Todays walk, turned into a route march/ yomp, exploring paths that seem long forgotten and consequently very overgrown, note to self. when walking these paths take boots not shitty go outdoors pretend walking things keen crocs for the want of a better description, fine for the beach walk to the bar but not a proper walk.
