I still can't get over the fact that next door is split into 9 separate flats/bedsits. I know these houses are big, but that's really pushing it. I assume shared bathrooms play an important role, as otherwise each "flat" must be a single room the size of my kitchen. Even with shared bathrooms, they'll only be the size of my living room.
They want £450,000 for it, as I recall"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Well the wall is back up. £1k is gone forever. And the garden is well borked. But, looking on the bright side, I have plenty of jetwashing to do tomorrow to clean the paths and whatnot of mortar splashes, mud and associated crap.Comment

Oh, and there's about half a ton of stone leftover, on account of the original builders being tight with mortar but generous with stone. Apparently there isn't a rubble facility at the tip any longer so getting shot of it all might prove to be a challenge.Comment

Current status: writing a Twitter bot to send you a DM (Direct Message) reminding you to put the bins out the night before bin day
So far I've got the Twitter account set up, and registered the .com domain name. And I've created an HTTPS API endpoint in Amazon API Gateway, which invokes an AWS Lambda function written in Python. It's just a "hello world" at the moment, but Twitter now allows you to get DMs via webhooks, which is what this will become.
So the Twitter user who wants reminders will follow @BinDayBot and send it a DM saying, for example, "Thursday" and from then on it'll send them a DM on Wednesday evenings telling them to do the bins.
This could be hugeComment
