The Adventures of a Cornish Walker

25.02.12

I woke up abruptly this morning and thought I'd take a photo out of the front of the house for a change...  suddenly I realised we hadn't put the wheelie-bins out! Not a major issue you might say, but when you have been sorting through as much stuff as we have over the last week then it is... I flew down the stairs, dressing gown billowing... and ran out to the recycling bin which I could only just move, then ran back for the other bin... by the time I was back inside and upstairs the bin lorry had arrived! They come early in Pavenham! Phew... just in time - and worth the manic moment and rude awakening!

It was yet another cold and grey day but slightly milder than yesterday. A visit to the garage procured a second key for the car ( I don't like just having one as I've had to bail us out so many times with the spares that I hide away for safekeeping) So.. for about £150 I know feel safer... seems a a lot of money for a key but what do I know?

A trip to Sainsbury also lightened the purse - I'm having a Farewell to Captaincy party here tomorrow afternoon for the ladies at golf...(making use of a tidy house - wouldn't dream of it otherwise). Everyone is bringing something but  emergency rations seemed a good idea ..in case they're needed... and if they're not we have some yummy cheeses to look forward to.
