Day 2977 Rubbish!

9th October 2025

A very rare event occurred, I forgot to put out the rubbish bin, and it was one of those rare times when the thing was full. I was reminded when the truck went up the road, so Kelli rushed out to place it at the end of the driveway.

I had forgotten that the trucks take an odd route.

It’s not the one that goes up our road, that then comes back down, oh no, that would be too simple (and sensible) it is the truck that goes up the next street that cuts across, and then down our road. The end result was we missed it.

I had a phone bill to pay and Kelli wanted to go thrifting. She has latched on to another side hustle,  buying certain clothes,  and then selling them. There seems to be a good market for bohemian style items that go like hotcakes. She belongs to a group that sells or trades this type of garments, and they pounce on the postings as soon as they are live, our printer is alway spewing out labels.

So whilst we were out she found a couple of items, one a Mexican poncho that is worth a decent amount, well that went on straight away.

I did a little bit outside, making templates for a project I’m planning for the future, but the hard thing is to get the machines that I have meet the accuracy I want, therefore I also need to make checking gauges as well.

It certainly is colder, I have to cover my legs and arms, soon I will have to put socks on as well.
