Not packing ahead of not setting off to Pembroke tomorrow for 6 or 7 days walking along the Pembrokeshire coast.
Making do with the allotments along the path behind Crowdys Hill school as the scenic view.
Lovely down there, my mum spent the last 15+ years of her life living in Pembroke whilst my sister still lives down there, just a shame its so bloody far away from here, not been down since mums funeral! |

You must make a visit mate (when it's safer/more responsible to do so). We spend so much of our lives saying "I will do this" or "I would do this but it <<insert excuse>>" and whilst yes it's true, life can get in the way of things, it is surely better to not look back in 20 years or something thinking "I still haven't been/done that". This is by no means a dig. Just an encouragement to not allow the passage of time and feel you missed an opportunity. Sometimes we just have to say fuck it and go/do/experience that thing. So when acceptable to do so, crack on  |

When my last living uncle died of Covid early in lockdown we were not even allowed a virtual funeral as they didn't have the facilities at that point, it was attended by just my aunt and his 2 daughters, very difficult to deal with. We are having a family get together for him after distancing has alleviated more. |

It is so sad, that so many people in the world have died alone.

Anybody successfully booked a slot at the tip? Or should I say the Household Waste Recycling Centre. Back garden is now reminiscent of Steptoes' yard

hahahaha. More chance of winning the lottery I think. Was trying to get a Friday though. Hopefully the rush will die down over the next week or three. Note: All time slots for cars to visit the HWRC are now booked up to and including Wednesday, 17 June. You can still book a slot for a van. New slots for cars and vans will be available at 10.00am on Wednesday, 3 June.

Yeah - as I am experiencing. I have got a couple of days off work end of next week I was aiming for so will start trying to book at 0950 tomorrow for next Thursday to see how I get on.
It's like trying to get tickets for the most sought after concert in history (and to start a discussion maybe, Led Zeppelin 2007 is my shout)

Unless you are using a van, you are stuffed for next Thurday. Unless they've held back car slots for the guest list  |

Wow, down here in Chard its just odds and evens alternating number plate days, the queue is normally about 20 to 30 mins but its just garden waste and non recyclables at the moment.

A friend of mine posted on FB she'd managed to get a slot and compared it to getting Glastonbury tickets. Which prompted a slightly sad reflection on how life under lockdown had changed her horizons |

Fly tipping has gone through nthe roof up here.
They did reopen the tip but rapidly closed it as there was an 'altercation', apparently its the Councils fault that twats cannot behave themselves like grown ups.
That's why we aren't allowed nice things in Cumbria.
