[ Reilly's] CCLXVII-

[Anhelyna]

Nah - not really .

I had put out a 6ft tall nasty plastic unit with 2 small cupboards and a few ill fitting drawers when I did the wet room.

I wasn't paying £40 to the Council to collect it and it was too big to go into Freda so couldn't take it myself. Mr Hop-a-long said that when they had stuff for the tip from his business the van would collect my cupboard so it was parked in the garden , facing the wall and tight up against it.

This morning I had to pick it up and move it so we could open the gates for the Landy to go to work. One cupboard door had been wrenched off and the whole unit was very soggy. No other signs of damage to anything else ,but the cupboard could not have blown over and turned round 180degrees, twice to get to where it was.

Blasted local yobs/vandals

Possible looking for firewood for Bonfire night..?

 

[Anhelyna]

nope - there's nothing really done about that here - usually a display by Glasgow but it's not big. Some folk let fireworks off in their gardens - but the idea is really dying out - no kids [ well not many ] in the area.

We don't even get them coming round the doors for Halloween now - again lack of kids and possibly fears for safety

 

[S.ilvio]

So vandals it probably was

Our bonfire night is tonight. A night when Firemen up and down the country are plagued with fires that go out of control...

 

[Anhelyna]

Cupboard now moved back to where it was - it's very light [ a truly horridly constructed thing - I'll be glad when it finally goes ] so I was able to move it using my wee trolley - it was a case of put it on the trolley by tipping it forward , then tilt trolley , turn it round and then put it hard against the wall again .

Job done

Scaffolding now going up on front of the Hop-a-long's house

Will you please be careful..?

Or am whisling in the wind...

 

[S.ilvio]

Going to a meeting now detailing us on our role from January as holders of the EU Presidency...

 

[Anhelyna]

Oh my - I trust you have had some coffee first - you will certainly need it afterwards

 

[S.ilvio]

That was painful.

No, excruciating.

Waffle content went through the roof.

I went there expecting information on what our input would be at a logisitcs end. All we got was policy gobbldiegook.

I had to ask a question at the end about it and I was told an email asking for people interested would be issued soon.

If they said that at the start I'd have not bothered going...

 

[Anhelyna]

Sounds to have been the usual Civil Service sort of harebrained scheme

 

[JBMM]

Morning!

Waiting on getting more coffee in about two hours.

Very groggy.

 

[Anhelyna]

2 hours before you have more coffee ?

Scandalous - get some more in you NOW

 

[S.ilvio]

Sounds to have been the usual Civil Service sort of harebrained scheme

'Senior' Civil Servants' harebrained scheme...

 

[S.ilvio]

Morning!

Very groggy.

Has Sandy visitted your shores..?

 

[Anhelyna]

'Senior' Civil Servants' harebrained scheme...

which is why I said Civil Service

The lower down folk would have thought twice about it

 

[S.ilvio]

Anyway no real harm done.

Shame I didn't record the session I could sell it as a cure to insomnia...

Hello Everyone

I hope that you're all well? It has been a very cold day here.

Starlight

Is it not getting close to your summer now..?

 

[Anhelyna]

Starlight - why are you still getting cold days ?

Dear gracious - the weatherman is VERY confused these days
