Watching the Skip....

Proving to be quite amusing. The doorbell went last night and it was a young lad who asked Vin is this your skip Mister. Vin said No it belonged to the lady next door, and the lad said he was interested in the bike on top of it. Vin said the stuff was being thrown away and she wouldn't mind if he took it. he said it could be done up with new brakes and tyres. bear in mind it is well quite rusty! So he wheeled the bike off and away. Only...to return with it in about 30 minutes later to throw it back on top of the skip. Clearly someone at home had put their foot down! Shame, might have been the start of another "Alan Sugar" career.
Vin saw two old ladies come out of the dentists and start looking it over. They picked up a picture and put that back..it has been attracting interest all day, with a few men looking over and commenting on the metal in it.There is money in metal I suppose, but she hasn't had time to do anything about it.
Little ginger girl is in our front garden, I wonder if she is getting suspicious, they are quite intuitive are cats. our two certainly know when they are going on holiday or to the vets, As soon as the cat baskets appear, they disappear! Hide in the most awkward of places too, just where you can't get at them.Cute as a cartload of monkies as they say.
Vin has been sorting out a few plant pots today, ones that the frost got to in the snows. Although the pots we buy are supposed to be frostproof, quite often they are not, and when we do get really cold bad weather they crack. We do seem to have lost a few this year though. he has put some on the skip, so that has saved a journey to the tip.
We stayed in today, having been out for the last two days, and have just pottered about. Radio two has been all over the place today, none of the usual programmes on at all.No Ken Bruce at the normal time, and no jeremy Vine to get us all thinking. Funny how you get used to the same names in the daily routine. i suppose we should embrace the change though.

Tonight we are having:
Something out of our very overstocked freezer! We came back from the shops ion Monday, and I had a job to squeeze a flan in there.
