Breaking Through, Travelling On

That's quite steep! No idea what ours is at the minute - you usec to be able to get free green bags from the library and then ring to have them colleted within 10 days, but then they started charging something like £12 for 10 bags so I just started taking big garden waste to the tip. Food and little weeds etc goes in my own compost bin and I'm always impressed at how efficiently it deals with it!

I've been following your lead KC and getting out in the garden for a little while these last couple of days, its been lovely so thank you also been eating lunch out there and stopping just a little longer to do a bit of weeding. One day it'll look like something out of Country Living magazine, I swear! :rotfl:

Have a good day, what have you got planned?

Morning! This is quite late on the boards for me

I'm glad the little-and-often gardening is working, Cheery and realistically, thats what gardens need anyway - blitzes just don't work on growing things plus, you know, looking at these bags of garden rubbish - thats a *lot* of goodness taken out of my soil, for no good useage whatsoever :eek: which really encourages me to finally get a grip on things :beer:

The plan today was to write a couple of blog posts, with a spot of gardening in the middle. I still need the gardening, because I need some activity late on, but lunchtime today will be spent at the GP practice, they run a drop in clinic, and a puncture from a thorn on Saturday has become a huge swelling thats enveloped my whole ankle joint - NHS online has dark mutterings about cellulitis and arthritis (interacting? don't know) so I'm going along there - the website says antibiotics, and hospitalisation if they don't work :eek: which sounds fairly serious.

YouGov - I'm almost at 3,000 points, and I figured out part of the reason I get so many surveys - as a sole trader (legal terminology there ) I get the individual surveys, but the business surveys too. Thats going to slow right down after I start identifying as "retired" :rotfl:

Fingers crossed it's nowt serious KC.

You're right about the goodness being taken out of the soil, I never thought about it like that before! :eek:

Twas nowt serious :j antihistamines and rest, though watch for the classic signs of infection: heat, tenderness and tracking (I've seen that, its when you can actually *see* blood poisoning infecting the veins or whatever, they go blackish through the skin. Trainee GP and her overseer were both very jolly, which was good.

I feel stupid having to rest after such a short walk - 20 minutes each way max, but thats why I'm retiring, after all.

So I've eaten and rested, and the rest of the day is my own :j the writing I originally planned to do beckons

Blimey 65 quid is steep.
I thought they were encouraging us to recycle.

And now you know why. I'd encourage all sorts of things if I could extract 65 quid...

20 mins each way is a lot.
Take care.

This would be the 40 minute walk on an ankle serious enough to go see a GP about..?

Actually, what Z says.
