Telex machine gleaming brightly this morning.

Gosh. October 9th 2018 was inneresting. . I wonder who the chap with the braying larf was. We'll never know.

Swan family out of the canal and preening about 15 yards further along the back lane.

Shopping trip to Morrisons done, dusted, washed, dried, sanitised & put away.

Walked (unabbreviated) walked in the grey gloom. Quite close out there.

Two swans on the fish pond.

Two swans on the first pond.

People fishing on the first pond.

Entertainment: Discovering Matthew Broderick.

Farscape S3 E8 "Green eyed monster": the "that's not a moon" one.

Wheeler Dealers S15 E15 Jensen Healey. It's a looooong time since I've seen a carburretor diaphragm.

The Chevette had one and it wouldn't run when it had a hole in it.

Twas a bit cheaper than the $80 they paid for the two in the Jensen.

Horizon prog about Pluto.

The Directors: Fritz Lang: mildly inneresting once it had reached his Hollywood epics.

Thing about Hitchcock: too long & I'm knackered.

Impressive nearly full moon when I went out to check the shed door.

As I fully expected. Another property has come up that looks perfect.

I have booked a viewing just in case it is indeed so.

Lunch was a roast pork and apple sauce cob

[ladymuck]

I discovered I had a lack of suitable sandwich fillings so popped out to the deli round the corner for a mozzarella and parma ham baguette.

Headed out for my walk and ran into a PCSO out the back, keeping the junkies at bay, so stopped to say hello and confirm that I'm entitled to be there. He turned out to be very chatty and kept me talking for half-an-hour about Neighbourhood Watch and all that kind of thing, including my potted history of the main gates since they were first installed about fourteen years ago, explanations of which landlords owned which houses and how likely they were to be clear away stuff flytipped on their property, and so on and so forth. He said he pops in most days and sometimes hangs around a bit to watch the junkies walk in then hastily turn round and walk out again when they see him

None of this got me very far on my walk though. I'll try again later

Thanks to clear outs, I have three bags of recycling to trundle this evening and one of other rubbish.

Checking out prospective council websites I am pleased to see they do food waste recycling. RBKC only runs such a scheme on a very limited basis which is very annoying.

Walk briskly walked, green and red rings closed

I took the alternative route this evening as it goes past a park and playing fields and stuff and I thought the greenery might be pleasant. And on the home straight, a car pulled up next to me and lo! it was my friends who live nearby. They talked about having me round for Sunday dinner, but I advised them that I have to go to London on Thursday so, by Sunday, may well be highly infectious yet without symptoms; so we'll leave it for another week

I wish they'd introduced a scheme like that round here; I'd hardly have any general waste at all then, and at least what I did have wouldn't be smelly
