The Pointless Page

Our council spent quite a large sum of money on a pointless exersize to move all the dog bins from where they were in places that were appropriate for dog users,to near where they could be emptied more easerly (health and safety)by the contractors staff,only to now have the truck being driven round the the fields past where they used to be emptied,and the council now wonder why there are more poo bags in areas away from the "new"wrong  bin positions 

Noticed on our travels today that the trees are starting to turn a good colour, nice to see Autumn start well, maybe it will be a good year for tree colours? 

We remarked on the changing colours of the trees yesterday whilst driving to my mum's.  Hopefully it will be very pretty, but today I repeated the journey - don't ask! and it was dreary so they didn't look so pretty as they did in the sun yesterday, it was more like November.  I do hope we get a bit of an indian summer otherwise its going to be a very long winter.

Awaiting for a quote for a new burglar alarm.  Our DIY one had some maintenance  a couple of weeks ago, new batteries and a new keypad but when we went away last Tuesday it wouldn't set so I've decided we'll have a 'man' in.  Amazed he was able to call in today as he was doing quotes anyway and had to collect his children from nearby.

Otherwise I really haven't done/achieved much if anything at all.........

Grey drizzle all day here today so pointless doing any outside jobs. Mr H took all the garden rubbish and some old pots etc. from his greenhouse autumn clear out to the tip and I have 'blitzed' the house.

I'm just grateful that my wheat problem doesn't extend to Barley or Oats so can still enjoy some brewers who leave wheat out of certain drinks.

Had to have another one today to make sure it was okay. Must admit that the Eels Foot keep theirs at a temperature I prefer, that is not too cold just cool.

And for something completely different I did my birthday present DNA test today, now it goes off to Houston, Texas and who knows I might be related to an ancient tribe of mountain gorillas....I'll have to wait a month to find out. 

How exciting brue, do let us know. I would love to do a DNA test. I will have to drop a few hints to the family for a Christmas or birthday present. Was it a voucher that you were given?

Last day today on the med coast and what a beauty it was, the warmest we've had so far, typical. Starting to head north in the morning couple of days at Clermont Ferrand next stop. 

Lovely weather today in East Norfolk albeit a very busy day, 2 more fence panels painted, delivery of logs, moved and stored about 1.5 tons.  Had car serviced and owner showed me the air filter which didn't look as if it had been changed for about 3 years, does make me wonder which may be pointless.

Each of the 5 caravans on our present CL have at least one dog in them.
