Good Morning Worlds!
It is bin day:
Pink - food and garden waste.
Brown - cans, bottles, and food tubs.
I will be going to meet Sue at work in a moment, to do the bins there, and I will also go and do the bins at work too, even though I am on leave today.
I have Mum's laundry in the washing machine now.
As soon as we are done we will be heading north to Morecambe for lunch, and then across to Lancaster to see a talk by @drlucyrogers about her new book.
Good Morning Worlds!
We are taking Mum shopping this morning, then I will pop into the GP surgery to try and book an appointment.
Later this morning we will be going to an informal leaving do to celebrate my manager being able to take retirement and leave work.
She has been a really good manager and colleague to work with, and will be greatly missed by her team.
We are all nervous about her replacement, but hopefully he will be fine.
It is a good day to take a break from shifting heavy stuff about, as it is wet outside and my aching body needs some recovery time.
Good Morning Worlds!
We are going to the tip this morning. It will clear some of the stuff we sorted yesterday from the drive. I don't think we can clear it all unless we took the trailer, but the trailer is full of steel for weighing in.
Later I might carry on packing tote crates.
Good Morning Worlds!
We are going to do a driveway reshuffle, to clear some space to see what we are keeping and what will be disposed of.
I am hoping that it will be quiet on the road so that I can get both cars and both trailers outside for a while without obstructing our neighbours too much.
Some of my heavy equipment might end up in Mum's conservatory, out of her way.
This could be a big, all day, job, and maybe a little back breaking, so we need to be careful.
Good Morning Worlds!
We are packing all the tools and taking the homework to Levenshulme Repair Cafe this morning.
This afternoon we are donating a load of bike tools and spares to Manchester Bike Kitchen.
It will be a fairly busy day and we are still going to be having dinner with Mum tonight.
Good Morning Worlds.
This morning I need to go to my usual day job as a drain clearing company is there to clear a blocked drain.
I have no idea how long I might be there for.
Later (if I get a later) I will do more clearing out, and maybe a tip trip if there is time.
Then we are cleaning the Meeting House ready for the weekend.
Good Morning Worlds.
We are off to the Community Workshop and have three large paving slabs to drop off to be used for the base of the future toilet block. These paving slabs are 900mm x 600mm x 50mm and weight just over 60 kgs each.
I don't want to move too many at once. We have ten more to deliver, so three each week.
This afternoon I think I will be clearing stuff out again, and sorting through things I can start packing away.
Good Morning Worlds.
It is bin day:
Pink - food and garden waste.
Blue - paper and cardboard.
I am going to meet Sue at work, and then we'll pop down to Chorlton with books for the Oxfam bookshop and to collect a repair cafe item that needs welding. I will do the welding as soon as we get back, so that it is done for this weekend.
With our planned move I will need to pack up my workshops. So, I can see there being an end to welding and furniture repairs for the repair cafes, long before we stop attending. That will make me feel sad.
Good Morning Worlds.
We are taking Mum shopping this morning.
Then I have to go into Manchester for a staff meeting.
For some reason, they have always managed to provide a suitable lunch for me, but this time they want pizza, so I am taking in a suitable ready meal to have on my own.
I don't know if I will get to do much clearing of stuff afterwards.
Oh well...
Good Morning Worlds.
We are going to clear a load of scrap wood to the tip this morning, while it is not raining.
Then I want to have a quick look at how much stuff I need to move from the driveway, break some extractor fans down to metal, e-waste, and plastics, and I need to give Mum a hair cut.
I am also keeping an ear out in case of issues at work with the toilet. It will be a busy week.
