I don't want to appear to be gloating but I am confident that nobody can compete with the thrill and excitement of the activity I have scheduled for today.

The county picks up my garbage every two weeks and tomorrow is the day. I get to drag two wheelie bins out to the highway for the trucks to pick up tomorrow. My driveway is a bit more than half a mile and the bins are heavy so this constitutes a major element of my workout routine for the day. :LOL:

You have to drag the full wheelie bins 1/2 a mile ?.:oops:.. what would happen if you couldn't ?

When I was recovering from my hip replacement, my nearest neighbor was good enough to do it for me. I have a tractor with a front end loader so I could shift the bins with that but getting the machine out and loading the bins is an extra bit of work.

Not a major problem yet, though. (y)
 
After church, I brought the trunk up from the cellar that had the electric wires in it, and cleaned it up a bit. Would make a nice project for someone that had the interest and ambition to restore it. Those folks are few and far between these days. It may look better after more ministrations. You would not believe that it was papered inside and out, something like wallpaper. It was very brittle and easy to scrape off.

Today was a repeat of yesterday and just as enjoyable. After walking the dogs my husband started gathering the logs off the property and cut /split them while I continued working on the garden. There are 4 more big raised beds and one small one to de-weed and turn. Everyday it looks different; cared for.

I’ve found lawn ornaments which I’ve mixed with my own and it’s fun bringing life to an old overly neglected garden. The soli is surprisingly fertile and filled with worms. I can’t wait to plant some seedlings and tend to them while they grow. Even the cat loves it here.

Today I did a load of laundry and hung it on the line out back. The line is attached to a pine tree and there’s nothing quite like freshly wind dried clothes. Such small simple joys are priceless.
Even cleaning this house is enjoyable.

That’s a long way to drag garbage bins. 🧐

That was part of the trunk, scraping it off would lower the value if the trunk is a collectible valuable item, but apparently it is not.
 
Today is a very special day for us. This morning I said this to my girlfriend:

She said YES!!

We're now wearing the rings I went into town to buy yesterday. She keeps on touching hers and holding it up to her eye to see as much of it as she can.

We've already opened the champagne

For this evening I've ordered food for a romantic dinner for two at home and there'll be more champagne.
A big thank you from me and my girlfriend to all of you who sent us congratulations and good wishes on our engagement
 
I have been out for breakfast as Welsh cafes opened for the first time in four months...delicious.
we had a cooked breakfast at a cafe at the Beach on friday.. it was the best breakfast I've had for ages in any cafe.

You'll find this hard to believe but it's true.. little lane just off the front..full breakfast..( the works with 2 toasts)... a Pint ( apparently a good pint), and a cup of tea..£7 total..
