Just for a laugh

Dustbin day today.

I think that to give the cat to the dustmen is rather cruel. They may fix it to the front of the wagon! It may have become rather used to living with you. Still, at least you've not put it inside the bin.

The cat belongs to the neighbours but lives at my place. The dustbin is a favourite place to sleep. He refused to jump off until he realised where we were going!

I wish I'd been older, to really appreciate meeting a genuine Victorian lady.

Hi Jordan
My grandmothers where Victorian ladies and I still remember some of their ways and comments. My mother was Edwardian and I am Georgian (the 6th).
As for wishing about being older, it don't have much going for it What I would like is the the knowledge I have now with the energy of the kids running about my local park.


Regards
Allen

My Great-grandmother used to have it; one of my memories of her in the early 70s. I wish I'd been older, to really appreciate meeting a genuine Victorian lady.

Hi Allen, the funny thing is my Great-grandmother's Black Country accent was almost impenetrable, I could barely understand a word, it was so strong.!!
I have a feeling she never left Wednesbury, ever!!

Apart from awful Sterilised Milk, in a different shaped bottle. My Great-grandmother used to have it; one of my memories of her in the early 70s. I wish I'd been older, to really appreciate meeting a genuine Victorian lady.

Never drank anything but Sterilised Milk. Absolutely loved it.

I suspect getting older is very much more agreeable than any alternative of which I am aware...

Whilst the topic of milk and bottles seems to be current, if somewhat off topic, I'll post my connections with the milk industry on probably the most ''appropriate'' thread here {??} {Unless someone knows otherwise?}

Not sure if this counts but had a very pleasant surprise whilst walking to waste cast my vote. This was parked outside our primary school:-

Perhaps we should have a separate thread - 'I remember when . . .' or 'Memories of a Geriatric'.

Jeepers - you might have changed out of your jimjams before taking the bin/cat combo out into the public arena

So will the driver when he accelerates!

I was going to suggest that too, but thought it might be too political or something......

I do think this photo is missing the large tarp that the ratchet strap was originally holding down...Or the old settee to sit the family on?

Image management. Like vacuuming the lawn after doing woodwork. Keeps neighbours away, makes for a more peaceful life.

I vacuumed the lawn once, after mowing......Saved raking and scooping the mess up into the brown bin {I had a workshop vacuum, courtesy of Screwfix]

Two members of the parish council happened to walk past my gate at the time.
They no longer badger me about keeping my front garden neat n tidy.....all of a sudden.
