Drove to his flat, took my stuff in while he finished getting ready then loaded up the car. Got to start point (1 hour away) and discovered that whilst I'd got my day sack, my walking boots were still in his flat. Only minor as my standard footwear is walking shoes, and they turned out to be fine (which goes to show how dry it has been this winter)
LazyDaisy Mar 2023 8:21am, 2 Mar 2023 37,786 posts	0 LazyDaisy Our grey bins were collected on Tuesday. It's a row of terraced houses so we all put our bins on a patch of (someone else's) ground at the end of the back path. No.6's bin hasn't been taken in yet so this morning I wheeled it up the path to put it in their back yard for them. But they have a Yale lock on their back gate so I couldn't put the bin in, and had to wheel it all the way back down the path. (Can't leave it on the path as the lady in no.8 wouldn't be able to get past on her mobility scooter.)

Minimag Mar 2023 12:35pm, 2 Mar 2023 694 posts	0 Minimag Twisted my ankle while out running today, why do these things happen when you are about the furtherest you can be from home! It's swollen, but not too serious. Lesson learnt though, no more trail running until after my marathon

Someone must have heard me trundling the bin up and down the back path and assumed it was bin day (a couple of the houses are holiday lets so the resident might not know that Tuesday every 3 weeks is grey bin day). So now another grey bin has appeared next to no.6's 🤣]
ChrisHB Mar 2023 11:12pm, 2 Mar 2023 22,302 posts	0 ChrisHB I worked out that my wife would arrive at 13:45 therefore it was reasonable to have a mid-morning snack before a late lunch. But - as I knew perfectly well - she arrived at 12:45.

Raemond Mar 2023 9:42am, 3 Mar 2023 10,186 posts	0 Raemond I forgot to put my watch on this morning. My options are either to walk all the way back to my apartment and get it at lunch time, or to go without it until Sunday or Monday evening (depending when I come back to Brussels).
