Putting bins out is one of standard joys... Not to mention fortnightly collections! I think that is pure cruelty! What is wrong with the continental way with common bins and frequent collections! It works when windy, when sunny and can even work for recycling because big heavy containers don't grow wings. Grumble over.

I quite enjoyed your information about bridges! If I don't go somewhere often, I forget names completely and since all the traffic and weather info on radio is local, the names don't percolate into my subconsciousness. I am ashamed to say I can't even memorise the names of streets around me...

This parking thing sounds so familiar, that is why I fought tooth and nail to work from home most of the time. I mean the company is middle of nowhere, there is a car park that is shared with other companies and not enough places for all. The nearest other parking spot is at the train station, half an hour walk away. Which is nice for fitness and in the morning but not so nice after work as you are hallucinating what your next meal is going to be, planning to buy ingredients, cook them and all that after driving and hope there are no queues. On one hand, very happy company saved money on new premises so that we can continue being employed, on the other hand, you know, people need to get there... Another grumble over 😳

How are your lessons progressing? Are you fluent? I assume you listen to Radio 4 in Welsh? I keep on thinking about the infamous road sign 🤣

Work of genius! Love that the translator didn't for one moment consider that somebody who doesn't speak Welsh might contact him while out of office 🤣

Will check out if I have reception for Planet Rock! Channel 4 is for me more of a very long elocution lesson...

Take good care of yourself and your furballs 🤗
