Credit card bill turned up today
Was expecting a nice discount thanks to lock down. The bloody thing is higher than normal.
Has is that possible? My first thought was the Ayatollah has been comfort shopping but after a bit of forensic digging turns out I am to blame

I think to be PC, today was Zander(y) day.
Next week, the Municipal âskipâ trucks come round. There are rules on what & how much of each you can put out for collection.
Also a great time to walk through the village & find some replacement doors, useful bits of garden furniture etc 
âDadâ lived through the âold daysâ so was a hoarder. We have a âbarnâ and it was half full with shit. He had 30byear old fridges with 5year old chicken food in them and just junk.
So today was the day. We could pump up the tyre on the 30 year old trailer for each 60m run and
At last! Space!
And about 6 tons of junk to go (picture later if I can upload / find it
Here you go
I am broken - should have an early night but Joshua - Riaz is on TVP Sport Terrestial in 45 minutes& I have Vodka

Got a load of abuse from a driver today whilst on my ride
His beef was I wasnât using the shared foot / cycle path. In normal times he may have a point but
The path is two foot wide - and busy - how do you keep two metres apart on that
I can be barrelling along at up to 20mph, It is safer for everyone that I am on the road
The road are not busy so he could easily get past, in fact he held up traffic because he stopped to have a go
I politely pointed all this out to him but he wasnât having it. I then pointed out that he could benefit from a bit of exercise given that he was such a fat bastard. That didnât go down so well
No sure what would happened next had the cars behind started honking and he stomped off back to his car.

Nope, no point at all.
Highway Code clearly states that cyclists donât have to use the cycle path if they are comfortable cycling on the road.
I think I may have posted that elsewhereâŚ

Woke up.
Our dead washing machine has gone, along with the one put out by next door.
Mrs P_F was up at 05:30 to go grab some doors. They were gone.
Itâs like anything useful was nabbed over night!

What a brilliant Sunday afternoon.
Flat on the sofa, slept through France v Denmark.
Mum delivered dinner, wife delivered a kilo+ of Easter branded chocolates she got for buying washing powder & cleaning materials.
Now snoozing through Aus v Peru.
Best part? Didnât have a sports subscription back in 2018vso not seen any of these games
I have not been in a spectacular mood today. Itâs the garage. Itâs by far the filthiest room in the house. I have spent weeks pulling shite out of it, and have had the rest of my family constantly berate me for it, with some justification.
After cleaning up my not inconsiderable mess, I was dismayed to find a second layer. Then a third.
The second layer largely consists of various suitcases, Amazon boxes or Very bags the self-same people that criticise me for mess just bung in there whenever they buy something.
There are also a few old suitcases that no-one wants anymore, so instead of throwing them out, theyâve bunged them in my garage.
Weâre not done yet. Christmas decorations, steam cleaners, spray tents and glass framed photos are also in the second layer, along with a box of beloved family photos from the past.
The third layer?
Brrr. Dog beds, pet cages, a cushion from a sofa we havenât owned for seven years, a hedge trimmer (+ cord) and a twelve pack of Guinness that rather poetically expired in 2012.
Itâs messier now than when I started, and the worst thing?
Thereâs a fucking fourth layer.

I have come to the conclusion that I am not capable of retirement
It is going to drive me nuts - I hate not doing anything.
I am currently trying to work out what I need to clean the conservatory roof. I am creating chores. Why canât I be content to do nothing

Agreed. I need something to do, as I found out one year after building up shitloads of annual leave.
I basically had December off.
Week 1 Lovely. Caught up with a load of computer games Iâd been meaning to play.
Week 2 Still quite lovely, although I am beginning to get under the missusâ feet.
Week 3 Erm. Yeah. I wonder how folk at work are doing.
Week 4 Alcohol and big Christmas rows
Week 5 Climbing the fucking walls
Retirement ainât going to suit me either. Work has kept me sane during all of this.

Are youâre tips/recycling centres open? The fact that ours are closed is the only thing stopping me blitzing my garageâŚ
No, they are not, so Iâve had to apportion a part of the garage as the âtip areaâ.
Itâll go to the tip.

Telling entitled fat bastards their pedigree on your bike ride isnât nothing, itâs damn near essential front line work in my book. I shall give an extra clap just for you on Thursday!
