Today has been a good day. Today it was my mother’s funeral. I gave the Eulogy, which wasn’t easy. We laid her to rest and spent the entire afternoon celebrating, a full life well lived. We gave her a good send off. It was a great family day and she would have loved it. So today, was a good day.
Just submitted our planning objection to the Pikey camp near us, waiting for the fireworks to kick off now.
After fifty days when someone sent me a parcel through ERIV and lost or nick it in the depot, the sender finally refunded me after he was paid out, he clipped away at them and won the day...........sweat over.
Enjoyed a great day at cadwell. Checked the forecast yesterday lunchtime and decided to go. Not very busy, only 20 bikes in the group I was in, inters was busy and only 16 in novice. They can't be making money with these numbers
They aren’t allowed to be anonymous, every objection has the persons name and address along side of it. I don’t care they brought it on themselves.
How, where, why? I mean are you a bee keeper, or just a passing person of concern? And if you are just a passing person of concern why did you feel the need to be involved? Also did you get stung?
In my sister's garden 3 years ago. Her neighbour to the immediate left kept bees, so took them! I've never knowingly known another beekeeper - despite living in the sticks for a decade, and this is in town (Sandford Park is only about 300 metres further on - but London Road's about 50m the other way). As for what I've done today: canceled Virgin after my £17 deal was hiked to £55. It took more than 2 hours on the online chat. The fuckers.
With any luck, there’s a place in hell for Virgin Media. I won’t bore you with my story but 4 years later I’m still shocked after how poorly they handled my issues. Suffice to say, I wouldn’t use them for broadband if they were giving it away.
When I retired I thought it would be a nice gentle hobby to keep a few bees at the top of our garden. I had some lessons and then realised what hard work it was and that bees don’t do what they are supposed to! It’s not a cheap hobby either. A hive is £200 plus about £200 for a suit and all the other bits and pieces you need and then you have to buy a nucleus of bees which is another £200. My bees in my first hive died during the first winter so I had to buy some more. I also got given some by another bee keeper who had too many. Last year I was able to extract 120 jars of honey (60lbs). If I sold it for about £20 a jar I might get my money back! It’s actually a fascinating hobby and I love sitting near the hives and watching the bees going to a fro, very relaxing. I have been stung in the past but bees swarming are just looking for somewhere to live and are usually pretty docile. Someone posted on the local Facebook that there was a swarm. I was wearing my bee suit and just knocked them into a box and then poured them into a temporary hive and left it for the flying bees to settle in there.
It's that time of year for me again, perhaps a little late but two bikes taxed this morning plus another vehicle on the for sale block.
